FATEMEH JANAHMADI, SEYED NASER MUSAVI.
Târîkh-i 'âyîn-hâ wa sha'â'ir-i Fâtimiyân. Foreword by Farhad Daftary.
New Persian Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). Text in Persian with an English preface by Janahmadi. [4], 415 p. Târîkh-i 'âyîn-hâ wa sha'â'ir-i Fâtimiyân. Foreword by Farhad Daftary. History of the rituals and mourns of Fatimids. "Fatimids knew that one way to change the social behaviour was to use the same rituals and customs that strengthened religious and national identity. These rituals and ceremonies by creating a lively and active atmosphere invited people to social participation and strengthen mass communication which led to creation of unity between tribes and heterogeneous institutions in different neighborhoods of Egypt. Moreover showing cultural rituals reconstructed the cultural identity of their followers. While holding these festivals and mourning ceremonies imposed exorbitant costs and expenses on Fatimid government in general the glorious holding of these celebrations was a reflection of the good economic condition of the Fatimid court. In this work by using the usual historical methods based on accurate descriptions first I have presented vivid pictures of the festivals celebrations and mourning of this era and in the following I have analyzed the afore-mentioned customs and rituals in details. Based on the questions in the introduction of the book the structure of this collection is divided into five long chapters and one conclusion...".

SVEN HEDIN, (1865-1952).
Deserts of Iran (Zu Land nach Indien).= Koireha-ye Iran. Translated by Parviz Radjabi.
New Persian Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). Text in Persian entirely, with trilingual title on cover in English, German, and Persian. 942 p., many b/w plates including photos and engravings. Deserts of Iran (Zu Land nach Indien).= Koireha-ye Iran. Translated by Parviz Radjabi. Sven Anders Hedin was a Swedish geographer, topographer, explorer, photographer, travel writer and illustrator of his own works. During four expeditions to Central Asia, he made the Transhimalaya known in the West and located sources of the Brahmaputra, Indus and Sutlej Rivers. He also mapped lake Lop Nur, and the remains of cities, grave sites and the Great Wall of China in the deserts of the Tarim Basin. In May 1885, Hedin graduated from Beskowska secondary school in Stockholm. He then accepted an offer to accompany the student Erhard Sandgren as his private tutor to Baku, where Sandgren's father was working as an engineer in the oil fields of Robert Nobel. Afterward he attended a course in topography for general staff officers for one month in summer 1885 and took a few weeks of instruction in portrait drawing; this comprised his entire training in those areas. On 15 August 1885, he traveled to Baku with Erhard Sandgren and instructed him there for seven months, and he himself began to learn the Latin, French, German, Persian, Russian, English and Tatar languages. He later learned several Persian dialects as well as Turkish, Kyrgyz, Mongolian, Tibetan and some Chinese. On 6 April 1886, Hedin left Baku for Iran (then called Persia), traveling by paddle steamer over the Caspian Sea, riding through the Alborz Range to Tehran, Esfahan, Shiraz and the harbor city of Bushehr. From there he took a ship up the Tigris River to Baghdad (then in Ottoman Empire), returning to Tehran via Kermanshah, and then travelling through the Caucasus and over the Black Sea to Constantinople. Hedin then returned to Sweden, arriving on 18 September 1886. In 1887, Hedin published a book about these travels entitled Through Persia, Mesopotamia and the Caucasus. On 12 May 1890, he accompanied as interpreter and vice-consul a Swedish legation to Iran which was to present the Shah of Iran with the insignia of the Order of the Seraphim. As part of the Swedish legation, he was at an audience of the shah Naser al-Din Shah Qajar in Tehran. He spoke with him and later accompanied him to the Elburz Mountain Range. On 11 July 1890, he and three others climbed Mount Damavand where he collected primary material for his dissertation. Starting in September he traveled on the Silk Road via cities Mashhad, Ashgabat, Bukhara, Samarkand, Tashkent and Kashgar to the western outskirts of the Taklamakan Desert. On the trip home, he visited the grave of the Russian Asian scholar, Nikolai Przhevalsky in Karakol on the shore of Lake Issyk Kul. On 29 March 1891, he was back in Stockholm. He published the books King Oscar's Legation to the Shah of Persia in 1890 and Through Chorasan and Turkestan about this journey.

New Persian Original bdg. HC. 4to. (29 x 23 cm). Text in Persian and preface in English; bilingual title in English and Persian on the cover. 267, [3] p., color and b/w ills. Fifty years with the legacy of Dr. Mahdi Bayani, (1968-2018).= Panjâh sâl bâ duktur Mahdî Bayânî, (1346-1396). Bayânî, (1906-1968), specialist in Persian manuscripts and calligraphy and pioneer in the field of Persian librarianship. Though born in Hamadan, he was the scion of a long line of divan secretaries and fiscal officers (mostawfi) from Faahan. He was related to Mirza Salman Farahani, secretary and confidant of Abu'l-Qasem Khan Na?er-al-Molk Hamadani, whose title Bayan-al-Sal?ana is apparently the origin of the family name (Bayani, A?wal o atar-e ?osnevisan, 2nd ed., Tehran, 1363 S./1984, introd. by ?. Ma?bubi Ardakani, p. 3). Bayani received his early education and training in calligraphy at the Aqdasiya and Asraf primary schools and, after graduating from the secondary school Dar al-Fonun, enrolled in the Dar al-Moallemin-e Ali (later Danes-sare-ye Ali; higher teachers' college). In 1324 sh./1945, Bayani received a doctorate in Persian literature from the University of Tehran. While serving as chief imperial librarian, Bayani also taught courses on the evolution of Persian scripts and on codicology. He was a long-time member of the Iran-Soviet Cultural Society and edited the journal Payam-e now (q.v.). He also founded a society for the support and publicizing of calligraphers and the calligraphic arts (Anjoman-e ?emayat-e ?a?? o ?a??a?an). His biographical dictionary of Iranian calligraphers, A?wal o atar-e ?osnevisan, is one of the most important research tools in Persian codicology. Bayani's pioneering efforts in the fields of bibliography and manuscript identification, evaluation, and collection have yielded valuable catalogues of major holdings in Iran.

MIRZA REZA KHAN DANISH ARFAUDDAWLA, (1846-1937).
[SECRET TREATIES / ANGLO-PERSIAN AGREEMENT OF 1919] Manzûme-yi Sulh ve re'y-i Dânîsh [ve tercümesi]. [i.e. Peace agreement and views of Mirzâ Dânîsh]. Translated into Ottoman Turkish by Ferid [Kam].
Very Good Persian First Edition of this extremely rare bilingual tractate including Prince Reza Khan's thoughts on Anglo-Persian agreement in1919. Mirza Reza Khan also known as Prince Rezâ Arfa', was a diplomat and poet of the late Qajar period who serviced in Constantinople. During his years of service abroad Reza became acquainted with a number of European political leaders. He was reported to entertain Russian sympathies and was certainly instrumental in negotiating the first Russian government loan to Persia, in 1317 / 1900. Nevertheless, he also appears to have supported the Anglo-Persian Agreement of 1919. In 1332 / 1914 he served as minister of justice (wazîr-e 'adlîya) in Tehran for about a year. This agreement in 1919 was a provisional agreement made between the British and the Persian governments which, if ratified, would have granted the British a paramount position of control over the financial and military affairs of Iran. From the days when Napoleon conceived the idea of invading India with the help of Alexander I, the Tsar of Russia, Great Britain contemplated with apprehension the invasion of India by Russia via Persia and Afghanistan. Under the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907 (q.v.), which divided Persia into rival spheres of influence, southern Persia was assigned to Britain while Russia controlled the northern portion. Later, according to the terms of "The Secret Treaties of Constantinople" of 18 March 1915, Constantinople was promised to Russia, and England was allowed to incorporate within her sphere of influence the neutral zone of Persia.

JUDAS THADDEUS KRUZINSKI [KRUSINSKI], (1675-1756).
[SAFAVID PERSIA / AFGHANISTAN / TRAVEL] Tarih-i Afgân: Tarih-i seyyâh der beyân-i zuhûr-i Agvânîyân ve sebeb-i inhidam-i bina-i devlet-i Sâhân-i Safeviyân. Edited by Ibrahim Müteferrika. [i.e. A voyager's description of the Afghan Wars in Persia and the fall of the Safavid Empire].
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original fine 1/4 leather bound in Ottoman lettered gilt. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 174 p. Hegira: 1277 = Gregorian: 1860. Rare early (second) edition of this eye witness and first-hand account, and one of the most important chronicles describing the history of late Safavid Iran in the 18th century, the Iranian invasion of Afghanistan and the siege and the fall of Isfahan in 1722 written by Kruzinski who was a Polish Jesuit missionary served in the Persia in the early 18th century. In 1720 he was nominated advocate general of the mission in Persia and became the secretary to the Bishop of Isfahan. Krusinski himself, however, claimed later on that he is not only the author but also the translator of this work. As a chronicle, this is a history of Iran under the Safavids from 1499 up to 1727 with a special focus on the 1722 Afghan invasion that terminated the Safavid dynasty. "His account of the conditions and events preceding and during the siege and the subsequent demise of the Safavids is unique. It also offers key insights into the workings of the late Safavid state and government as well as the functions of the royal harem." (Bloomsbury). Translated and expanded by Ibrahim Müteferrika of Kruzinski's Latin manuscript written in 1726 in Istanbul and entitled "Historia revolutionis monarchia Persica". The book was first published in Italian, French, and English translations, in Rome (1727), Paris (1728), and London (1728). The founder of the legendary first printing house in the Islamic world, Ibrahim Müteferrika (1674-1745), was the editor of this book. Ceridehâne [i.e. Journal House] Printing House is the successor of the Müteferrika Press in the early 19th century. "The book is a Turkish translation of the history of Iran written in Latin by the Jesuit missionary Judas (Jan) Tadeusz Krusinski (1675-1751). The work, whose title can be translated as 'A voyager's description on the apparition of the Afghans and on the reasons of the Safavid Empire being undermined', focuses on the Afghan invasion of 1722 which led to the fall of the Safavid dynasty, but also offers an overview on the historical processes of early 18th-century Safavid Iran. The publication of this work was made actual not only by the vicinity of Iran to the Ottoman Empire but also by the historical turn reorganizing the relations of power in the region and triggering the intervention of the Ottomans as well. This may have been the reason that among the first Turkish incunabula this was the work published in the highest number of copies. This publication also offers an early example of copyright disputes, as Krusinski considered the Turkish translation as his own work, while Müteferrika, who does not mention his name in the printed version, suggests himself to be the translator".

KIOUMARS SABERI FOUMANI, (Owner of 'Gol Agha', Iranian satirist), (1941-2004).
[IRANIAN SATIRE] Gol-Agha: Satirical weekly. [Lot of 124 issues].
Very Good Persian Original wrappers. Folio. (33 x 25 cm) and some different sizes. In Persian with bilingual titles in English and Persian. A lot including 124 issues, published between July 30, 1991, to 1999. A lot including 124 issues of this rare Iranian satyric magazine "Gol Agha", which was the first such publication in post-revolutionary Iran, maintaining its dominance for more than two decades after its debut, adding monthly and annual editions as well as producing new generation of satirists and cartoonists. Kioumars Saberi Foumani, (1941-2004), also known by his pen name Gol-Agha, was an Iranian satirist, writer, and teacher. Saberi was born during the Second World War in Souma'eh Sara a city in Gilan Province. His father, originally from Rasht, worked for the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance. He was transferred to Souma'eh Sara in 1938 and then to Fuman in 1942 where he died a few months later. His mother, who was the daughter of a respected cleric and one of the few educated women in the city, taught the Quran after the death of her husband. His brother, who was 14 years older, had to leave school at the age of 15 to work to help with the family expenses. Education for Saberi was hard because of his family's poverty and he had to start working in a tailor shop after finishing his elementary education. He also worked in his brother's bicycle repair shop during elementary school and high school. He started high school education at his mother's insistence. At the age of 16, he gained entry to Sari's Agriculture teacher's college which only accepted one student from Fuman each year. He continued his college education and graduated in 1959. He worked as a teacher from 1959-1961. At the age of 20, he took his high school exams and received his high school diploma. He continued his education at the University of Tehran while working as a teacher. He achieved his bachelor of science degree in political science in 1965. He spent most of the 1970s reading and teaching and in 1978 he obtained his master's degree in comparative literature from the University of Tehran. Saberi got married in 1966 and he had a daughter and a son. His son died in a car accident in 1985 but this sad incident did not stop him from reaching his goal, which was to make people smile. Kioumars Saberi Foumani died on April 30, 2004. During his first year at university, Saberi was arrested for participating in student demonstrations and started to write political satire in Towfigh magazine. Towfigh magazine was Iran's most respected pro-democracy political satire magazine, with the highest circulation in Iranian history. Its editor-in-chief was Hossein Towfigh who, along with his brothers Hassan and Abbas, turned Towfigh magazine into the most influential journal in Iranian history. Saberi became one of the many staff writers of Towfigh magazine. After the Iranian Revolution, he became the cultural advisor for Mohammad Ali Rajai. One of his other political posts was as the counselor to the minister of Housing and Urban Development of Iran. Following the Revolution, Saberi worked in different political positions before deciding to leave politics. He was in charge of Roshde-Adabe-Farsi magazine and sometimes he wrote for the Ettelaat newspaper. He started a column called "Do-Kalame-Harfe-Hesab" in Ettelaat in 1984 which was a starting point for political satires after the revolution. He continued writing for this column for six years until he started his own magazine called Gol-Agha in 1990. His courageous and powerful writings were appreciated by many famous authors such as Mohammad Ali Jamalzadeh. Saberi received first prize in the press exhibitions of 1992 and 1994 and second prize in 1993. He stopped writing for Ettelaat in 1993. The main characters in his writings are Gol-Agha, Shagholam, Mamasadegh, Kamineh, The wife of Mamasadegh), Mash-Rajab, and Ghazanfar. In 2003 in his last editorial in Gol-Agha, Saberi announced that publishing Gol-Agha will be stop

CEMAL NADIR [GÜLER], (1902-1947).
[MIDDLE EAST] Original artwork in mix technique on paper: Mary and Jesus.
Very Good Turkish Original artwork in watercolor, Indian ink, and dry paint. 11,5x9,5 cm. This rare original artwork of Mary and Jesus comes along an exceptional provenance of Turkish cartoonist Semih Balcioglu (1928-2006), with his handwritten note on verso "Cemal Nadir'in bir kompozisyonudur" [i.e. It's composed by Cemal Nadir]. Signed on right lower as "C. N". Unpublished work. Cemal Nadir was a Turkish cartoonist. He was born in Bursa, Ottoman Empire on 13 July 1902. His father Sevket was a calligrapher (Turkish: Hattat) employed in courts. After finishing high school, he began working as a sign painter in Bursa. He also created cartoons, and his first cartoon appeared in Diken (literally: "The Thorn") periodical. Although he moved to Istanbul and tried to be a full-time cartoonist, he could not make it and he returned to Bursa. The Alphabet reform of 1929 gave Cemal Nadir a second chance to show his talent. When Turkey adopted the Latin alphabet replacing the Ottoman Turkish alphabet in Arabic script, all sign boards were necessarily changed, and he worked hard to meet the demand. The same year, he moved once more to Istanbul to work for the daily Aksam. Later, he also drew for the newspaper Son Posta, as well as for satirical magazines such as Akbaba. He also contributed to Yedigün. During this period, he published the satirical magazine Amcabey. During World War II, he drew anti-Nazism cartoons in the daily Cumhuriyet. In 1946, Republican People's Party (CHP) invited him to run for a seat in the parliament. However, he refused the invitation, he said that with political affiliation he would not be able to create cartoons.
