In Arabic. 1 p. 11 lines. On a paper with Grifon and "W" initial and "Original" watermarks. Paper probably from a British paper manufacturer produced the paper for the Middle Eastern market. It starts with "Yüksek Islâm Meclisi Re'isi Âlîsi'ne". There is talk of a deal made by the Safed mufti and the person concerned - stating that he has been waiting for two years for an unpaid amount after an agreement with a certain amount of Egyptian junaihs, Safed mufti demands that the rest of the money. Sayyidî, who states that he is getting older and that the money must be kept in order to be able to do the title deeds from the foundations, says that otherwise the title deed procedures will not be completed. Signed by Safed mufti named Seyyidî. On the bottom, signed by/as "Reisü'l Camiü'l Islâmiü'l Âlî, Mehmed (or, Muhammed) Sehvî]. "Safed is a city in the Northern District of Israel. Located at an elevation of 900 meters (2,953 ft), Safed is the highest city in the Galilee and in Israel. Safed has been identified with Sepph, a fortified town in the Upper Galilee mentioned in the writings of the Roman Jewish historian Josephus. The Jerusalem Talmud mentions it as one of five elevated spots where fires were lit to announce the New Moon and festivals during the Second Temple period. Safed attained local prominence under the Crusaders, who built a large fortress there in 1168. It was conquered by Saladin 20 years later, and demolished by his grandnephew al-Mu'azzam Isa in 1219. After reverting to the Crusaders in a treaty in 1240, a larger fortress was erected, which was expanded and reinforced in 1268 by the Mamluk sultan Baybars, who developed Safed into a major town and the capital of a new province spanning the Galilee. After a century of general decline, the stability brought by the Ottoman conquest in 1517 ushered in nearly a century of growth and prosperity in Safed, during which time Jewish immigrants from across Europe developed the city into a center for wool and textile production and the mystical Kabbalah movement. It became known as one of the Four Holy Cities of Judaism. As the capital of the Safad Sanjak, it was the main population center of the Galilee, with large Muslim and Jewish communities.".‎

‎[OTTOMAN NAVAL FORCES / PAMPHLET FOR THE LIQUID FUEL] Yag-i mâyi' mahrûkâti ve tertîbâti. [i.e. Liquid oil fuel and its assembly]. Translated into Ottoman Turkish by Bahriye Nezâreti Çarhçi [sic. Çarkçi] Komisyonu.‎

‎Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Paperback in original wrappers. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Turkish with Arabic letters). 16 p. This pamphlet, mostly prepared in the form of questions and answers, describes the technical infrastructure required for the use of liquid oil fuel in warships. It was prepared for officers studying at the navy schools of the Imperial Ottoman in the early 20th century. On the cover, it's indicated to be translated by the Ottoman Naval Forces Commission of Engines, but, no information on which source to be used to translate it. It's printed after the Second Constitutional Regime in 1908, and Tripoli War in 1911, probably during the Balkan Wars, (1912-1913). Following the Young Turk Revolution in 1908, the Committee of Union and Progress which effectively took control of the country sought to develop a strong Ottoman naval force. The poor condition of the fleet became evident during the Ottoman Naval Parade of 1910, and the Ottoman Navy Foundation was established in order to purchase new ships through public donations. Those who made donations received different types of medals according to the size of their contributions. In 1910, the Ottoman Navy purchased two pre-dreadnought battleships from Germany: SMS Weissenburg and her sister ship SMS Kurfürst Friedrich Wilhelm. These ships were renamed Turgut Reis and Barbaros Hayreddin, respectively. The Italo-Turkish War of 1911-1912 and the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 proved disastrous for the Ottoman Empire. In the former, the Italians occupied Ottoman Tripolitania (present-day Libya) and the Dodecanese Islands in the Aegean Sea and the Regia Marina defeated Ottoman light naval forces in the battles of Preveza, Beirut, and Kunfuda Bay. In the latter, a smaller Greek fleet successfully engaged with Ottoman battleships in the naval skirmishes of Elli and Lemnos. The better condition of the Greek fleet in the Aegean Sea during the Balkan Wars led to the liberation of all Ottoman-held Aegean islands other than those in the Italian-occupied Dodecanese. It also prevented Ottoman reinforcements and supplies to the land battles on the Balkan peninsula, where the Balkan League emerged victoriously. The only Ottoman naval successes during the Balkan Wars were the raiding actions of the light cruiser Hamidiye under the command of Rauf Orbay. For this reason, the Naval Ministry, on the one hand, tried to train a large number of sailor officers by printing technical booklets like this in order to close the gap. Faded on the cover, chipped on extremities and spine. Otherwise a good and rare copy. Not in Özege.; Only one copy in OCLC: 949520567 (Bogaziçi Uni. Library).‎

Gilt title vignette on spine damaged. 20 p. <p><br /> A bibliographically unrecorded early sixteenth-century French book about royal ordinances regarding the commonwealth along with the French translation of Sultan Selim I's letter of conquest fethname addressed to the Grand Master of Rhodes. <br /> <p><p><br /> The first and major part of the book presents nine concepts of orders of Francis I 1494-1547 King of France from 1515 until his death regarding the commonwealth chose publique. The drafts concern such topics as the commerce of spices and drugs wool cloth and other goods chapter 1-4 the weights and equivalents of coins and the recognized foreign currencies chapter 5 the recognized units of measures chapter 6 the regulation of the extravagance of clothing chapter 7 the inn trade chapter 8 and the money that goes to Rome for obtaining Bulls chapter 9. <br /> <p><p><br /> The second section comprises the responses to the aforementioned concepts of the representatives of the Good Cities Bonnes Villes Provence and Dauphiné who had been previously assembled in Paris by the order of the King in March 1516. In most cases they requested a delay of reply to discuss the matters with those who they were representing.<br /> <p><p><br /> The third section presents the grievances and requests delivered to the King by the delegates regarding the provincial councils conciles provinciaux the prolixity of the trials the tariffs the public officers the superior courts cours souveraines the land taxes tailles and the abuse and plunder by the soldiers crossing the kingdom. <br /> <p><p><br /> These sections were recorded and written down by the court clerk Jean Hesselin Seigneur of Girodon. Hesselin mentions himself twice p. 14 and 17 once by name p. 14 within the text.<br /> <p><p><br /> The final part is the French translation of the Ottoman Sultan Selim I's fethname letter of conquest sent on 27 August 1516 from Aleppo to Fabrizio del Carretto 1455-1521 Grand Master Magnus Magister of the Knights Hospitaller in Rhodes between 1513 and 1521. The fethname accordingly to its genre details Selim's expedition and the conquest and emphasizes the power and grandeur of the Sultan and his army. <br /> <p><p><br /> Selim I 1470-1520 ascended the throne as the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire in 1512. He is remembered for the enormous expansion of the Empire during his reign thus raise the Ottomans to the leaders of the Muslim world. Selim's most notable deed was the conquer of the Mamluk Sultanate which included Levant Hejaz and Egypt in 1516 and 1517 at the Battles of Marj Dabiq and Ridaniya.<br /> <p><p><br /> The Battle of Marj Dabiq near Aleppo took place on August 24 1516 where Selim defeated the Mamluk Sultan Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghuri. This was a decisive victory of the war between the Ottoman Empire and the Mamluk Sultanate which ended in the conquest of much of the Middle East. Such an expansion of the Ottoman territory was a clear threat to Rhodes which was the nearest Christian possession to the coast of Asia halfway between Constantinople and Egypt. At the time the Grand Master in Rhodes was the Italian admiral Fabrizio del Carretto 1455-1521; Grand Master from 1513 to 1521 for a short interlude of a course of fifty-five years of Frenchmen serving as the supreme heads of the Order. Selim announced his victory and forecasted his threat to del Carretto in a fethname presented here in French translation however eventually he did not have the time to conduct the campaign against Rhodes. It was his successor Suleiman I who conquered the island in 1522 thus gained control over the eastern Mediterranean for the next centuries. By the time of the siege the commander of the Order was again a Frenchman Grand Master Philippe Villiers de L'Isle-Adam 1464-1534. Suleiman allowed him and the surviving knights to leave unmolested and eventually the Hospitallers were quartered permanently on Malta in 1530.<br /> <p><p><br /> To the best of our knowledge the original fethname has not survived and we could not trance any other printed version or edition of the French translation. We could find one surviving copy of a Spanish translation of Selim's letter which was addressed to Pope Leo X titled Carta de nuevas grandes buenas y ciertas embiada a nuestro s. padre Leon X de las cosas que han passado en Levante entre el gran turcho y el gran solda Valencia Juan Viñao 1517; Norton 1256 IB 11215 USTC 344377 kept at Cambridge University Library F151.d.8.12.<br /> <p><p><br /> Provenance: Bookplate of Georgios Arvanitidis 1876-1953 a noted Constantinopolitan collector of books on Turkish and Greek history.

‎Letters Home from an American Professor Working in the Ottoman Empire in the Aftermath of World War I.‎

‎Constantinople New York City and others 1922. Four letters totaling seven pages. Folded else fine. A small collection of letters from “H.C.†who seems to have been an American university professor in Constantinople to his “Darling Clementine†back home. H.C. may have taught at Robert College a Christian college founded in 1863 now a prestigious private highschool.<br /> <br /> It is not clear when H.C. first arrived in Constantinople but he had been there for several years already by the time the letters begin and was certainly there at a critical point in its history. He writes in 1918 shortly after the arrival of occupying forces:<br /> <br /> “conditions are still very bad in town I long to see the suffering diminished. Some say it will be months yet. Sometimes now there is no coal no electric light no bread no water. Can you imagine the state of an Oriental city under such conditions We have had are still having trouble about light water-supply but we have steam heat plenty of food of a plain kind. We all keep well. . I hear that an American Red Cross boat will arrive next week I am eager to see its passengers. We may have a chance to leave on it but I can not see my way clear to skip because our faculty is depleted ever since the exodus at the time of the panic long ago when Miss Lyon left. . We have a good college now – boarders about 90 in the College-department – and many day scholars but lately the Spanish fever the lack of tram-car service has kept many students away. As soon as our cousins supply coal we hope for improvement. The Ententists are spreading over the city thoroughly quietly – like oil. It is a delight to see so many manly looking officers after the ones we have had here for years. There is a spiritual look in the eyes of the present occupants a look of bull-dog determination.†December 6 1918<br /> <br /> H.C. enjoys a “real yachting cruise†on his way back to Constantinople from the States in 1921 tells Clementine about his plans for his commencement speech in 1922 and describes a college reception in New York City which “General Custer’s wife†Elizabeth Bacon Custer attended undated letter. Meanwhile Turkey was engaged in its brutal war for independence. At some point H.C. befriended Electra—probably a Greek woman—whom he sent along to visit Clementine in part to help Electra cope with her traumatic experiences during the war:<br /> <br /> “As you will recall my young friend’s father was executed – tho innocent – with about 70 others. At first E. bore this with wonderful fortitude but after Xmas a reaction set in naturally enough. She developed morbidness a hyper sensitive attitude toward all of my looks words – probably a condition due to shock. I am confident that travel new scenes interests will bring her back to her old self your wholesome household will chase all gloom away. A doctor told her lately that she has hysteria that she must think of cheerful things only. I tell you this thinking that you might keep her from talking about the nation that does cruel things. The truth is that cruelty is pretty generally distributed a judicial mind finds it difficult to pick choose. Some nations get the public ear so the pot can call the kettle black!†June 6 1922<br /> <br /> Indeed both sides of the Greco-Turkish war—part of the larger Turkish campaign for independence—massacred each other. However only the Turkish contingent’s actions have been argued by historians to constitute ethnic cleansing or genocide.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey post-World War I especially Americans’ experience thereof. unknown‎

‎Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original engraved map on the silk handkerchief made in Yildiz Palace for the 'Iane Sergisi' [i.e. Exhibition of the Social Assistance] in the period of Sultan Abdülhamid II. In its decorative frame. Frame size: 53,5x53,5 cm; map size: 38x38 cm. In Ottoman script. Scale: 1/600.000. Several minimal splits, minor foxing, and slight stains on cloth. Otherwise in good condition. A rare and decorative 1897 silk handkerchief map of the Greco-Turkish War in 1897, which was the only war in which the Ottoman army was victorious during the reign of Abdulhamid 2, is a fine example of Ottoman / Turkish cartographic textiles made in Ottoman court (Yildiz Palace textile workshops). This beautiful map depicts an attractive war scene from the 1313 Greek War on the upper half, and it's engraved a map of Balkan & Greek lands on its lower half. War painting has 'Melona' signature in Ottoman script. The map shows Thessaloniki [i.e. Salonica] Bay on the west; Yanya [i.e. Ioanna] Vilayat on the east; lands of Greece, Galos Bay, Uzi Strait on the south and Dimetoka and Avalonia areas in the Serefiye, Ergiri sanjaks on the north in its period. Written on the map, "Baht-i himâye-yi feyzvâne-i cenâb-i hilâfetpenâhide evlad-i süheda ve mecrûhin-i asakir-i sâhâne", [i.e. It was printed for the "Iane Sergisi" (i.e. The Social Help Exhibition) in the high memory of our soldiers who were martyred and veterans in the Greek War under the patronage of the Sultan.]. The Greco-Turkish War of 1897, also called the Thirty Days' War and known in Greece as the Black '97 (Mauro '97), or the Unfortunate War (Atychis polemos), was a war fought between the Kingdom of Greece and the Ottoman Empire. Its immediate cause was the question over the status of the Ottoman province of Crete, whose Greek majority long-desired union with Greece. Despite the Ottoman victory on the field, an autonomous Cretan State under Ottoman suzerainty was established the following year (as a result of the intervention of the Great Powers after the war), with Prince George of Greece and Denmark as its first High Commissioner. This was the first war effort in which the military and political personnel of Greece were put to test since the Greek War of Independence in 1821. For the Ottoman Empire, this was also the first war effort in which the reorganized military personnel were put to test. The Ottoman army was under the guidance of a German military mission led by Colmar Freiherr von der Goltz, who had reorganized it after the defeat in the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878). The conflict proved Greece was wholly unprepared for war. Plans, fortifications and weapons were non-existent, the mass of the officer corps was unsuited to its tasks, and training was inadequate. As a result, the numerically superior, better organized, equipped and led Ottoman forces pushed the Greek forces south out of Thessaly. Almost all of the aids made to the families or disabled people of those who were martyred in the 1897 Ottoman-Greek War (such as printing this map) were made within the framework of the donations of "Evlâd-i Süheda and Malûlîn-i Guzât-i Asâkir-i Sahane". People and citizens of all classes and beliefs, including members of the Ottoman court, ministers, bureaucrats, civil servants, merchants and tradesmen, participated in this aid campaign at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century.

‎Selim Giray'in bir gazâsinadir. [Das Buch des Sieges von Selim Giray, dem Khan der Krim.]‎

‎Sehr seltener Erstdruck des "Buches von Selim", einer poetischen Beschreibung der militärischen Heldentaten des Krim-Khans Selim Giray im »Großen Türkenkrieg« (1683-89). – Inhalt, Ausgabe: Die von Sabit Alaeddin Ali (1650-1712), einem aus Bosnien stammenden Dichter und Derwisch, im Auftrag von Selim I. Giray (1631-1704), Khan des Krim-Khanats von 1671 bis 1704, verfasste Handschrift besteht aus 426 Couplets im Masnaw?-Stil, die vom Sieg der von Selim Giray geführten Osmanen gegen russische Truppen vor Perekop (1687) erzählen, jener Landenge, welche die Krim mit dem heute ukrainischen Festland verbindet. Das auch als "Selimnâme" bekannte Werk wird in einigen Quellen auch mit dem Feldzug unter Groswesir Kara Mustafa gegen Wien (1683), an dem mit wechselndem Erfolg auch Selim Giray teilnahm, und der darauffolgenden Vertreibung der Osmanen aus Ungarn und Teilen des Balkans durch die Truppen der »Heiligen Allianz« in Verbindung gebracht. Der Khan übte sich zudem im Musizieren und Dichten, weshalb ihm vorliegendes Werk fälschlicherweise auch immer wieder zugeschrieben wurde. – 1882 brachte der Gelehrte und Verleger Ebüzziya Mehmed Tevfik (1849-1912) in Istanbul den Text auf Basis der Handschrift als Erstdruck wie hier vorliegend heraus. Eine zweite Auflage erschien 1911. – Erhaltung: Umschlagrücken und -ränder fachkundig restauriert, einige Seiten gering fingerfleckig, sonst gut erhalten. – Literatur: Seyfettin Özege: Eski harflerle bas?lm?s?

‎A guide to Turkish treaties, 1920-1964.‎

‎Very Good English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [xii], 248 p. The first edition of the present book was published in Turkish in 1962, as a documentary study which was intended to serve as a basis for further studies on the laa of Turkish treaties. Reviewing that edition, Professor Seha L. Meray of the Faculty of Political Science, University of Ankara, emphasized the need for a publication of this kind in a foreign language. Such a publication, wrote the distinguished reviewer, would be useful to foreign scholars and diplomats who are interested in Turkey's international relations. This book has been prepared to meet this suggestion.‎

‎The Hittites: The story of a forgotten Empire.‎

‎New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16,5 cm). In English. 94 p. The Hittites: The story of a forgotten Empire. Recent discoveries have retorted the critic's objections upon himself. It is not the Biblical writer but the modern author who is now proved to have been unacquainted with the contemporaneous history of the time. The Hittites were a very real power. Not very many centuries before the age of Elisha they had contested the empire of Western Asia with the Egyptians, and though their power had waned in the days of Jehoram they were still formidable enemies and useful allies. They were still worthy of comparison with the divided kingdom of Egypt, and infinitely more powerful than that of Judah.‎
