Eskenazi Victor
Beyond Constantinople: The Memoirs of an Ottoman Jew
8vo, hardcover, 208 pages, 20 bw photos. "Constantinople in those days represented the bridge between East and West. The navel of the earth. A wondrous and fascinating place to live." Victor Eskenazi, a Sephardic Jew from Constantinople, represented an ethnic and religious minority that thrived in the Ottoman Empire. The beginning of the twentieth century was a critical period in Ottoman history, which saw the end of the Empire, defeat in World War I but also a colourful influx of victorious allied armies and White Russians fleeing the Revolution, contributing to the already cosmopolitan nature of the city. Eskenazi breathed the complex air of this budding new Turkey, with its ideals, contradictions and hopes. His extraordinary memoir which begins in Constantinople and travels across Europe during and after World War II tells the remarkable story of a family, poignantly capturing a moment in time which now exists only in memory.".

Elaiussa Sebaste III: L'Agora Romana.
New English Original bdg. HC. In Italian. Color ills. 420 p., and many folding plts. Il III volume sugli scavi di Elaiussa Sebaste raccoglie, nella prima parte, i risultati delle indagini archeologiche condotte negli anni 2002-2005 nel complesso dell'agora e della basilica bizantina; nella seconda parte si affronta lo studio esaustivo dell'agora romana. Le ricerche hanno permesso di ricostruire dettagliatamente l'articolata stratificazione edilizia che ha interessato l'area nelle differenti fasi di occupazione, di elaborare in forma definitiva la planimetria dell'edificio pubblico di età medio-imperiale e di proporre efficaci ipotesi ricostruttive delle sue caratteristiche architettoniche e funzionali. Lo studio dei materiali di scavo ha permesso di inquadrare cronologicamente i momenti di impianto e di trasformazione del complesso, offrendo nuovi dati sul livello sociale degli abitanti e sui cambiamenti intercorsi nell'economia della città tra l'età medio-imperiale e l'epoca bizantina. Alle analisi antropologiche si devono inoltre interessanti informazioni sulla struttura demografica della città, sulla paleodieta e sullo stato di salute della popolazione in età bizantina. Il quadro delle conoscenze di Elaiussa Sebaste si arricchisce in questo modo, dopo il I e il II volume, di un ulteriore contributo, con nuovi spunti di riflessione sulla ricostruzione storica del centro urbano.

Elaiussa Sebaste: A port city between east and west. An archaeological guide.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In English. 176 p. Color and b/w ills. "The ancient city of Elaiussa Sebaste (today Ayas) lies on the south-eastern coast of Turkey. The birth and the development of the settlement were granted by the favourable geographical position of the city, situated along the important coastal road connecting Asia Minor to Syria and projected in the intense commercial traffic of the eastern Mediterranean and, secondly, to the abundant natural resources of the hinterland - timber from the Tauro forests, vineyards and olive trees (elaion) to which the name Elaiussa itself alludes. The site was, during the Roman age, one of the most important cities of the Roman province of Cilicia, which developed considerably in the 2nd and 3rd century AD; it maintained its prestigious role as significant trading port until the Late Empire and the first Byzantine age. Thanks to its long and continuous life, Elaiussa can be indeed qualified as a remarkable case study for the deepening of historical and archaeological knowledge on the dynamics of the development and evolution of urban centres in the Eastern Mediterranean area. Prof. Dr. Eugenia Equini Schneider (Università di Roma "Sapienza", Italy) has been the head of the excavation team in Elaiussa Sebaste since 1995".

A summary catalogue of the Turkish makams. With a CD.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 164 p. For over three decades I had the opportunity to research on Ottoman musical writings in the Turkish libraries and to consult private collections. Concurrently, I was able to study Ottoman musical manuscripts kept in libraries outside Turkey. Along those years of research I carried out persistent investigations that gave me access to a large number of Ottoman materials ranging from the fifteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century. As a result of examining numerous musical manuscripts in Ottoman Turkish literature I discerned the commonplace of themes in the majority of writings and evaluated their structure at formal and generative level. Moreover, I was able to ascertain the significant purport of certain sources over others and to compare several versions of the texts. The idea of this catalogue evolved gradually in my mind from the perception that an explicit presentation of the makams would constitute a valuable reference both for evaluating the historical process of creating and performing music, as well as for establishing the inventory of modal categories and their taxonomic relations. As time passed, I was able to determine the development of a genuine Turkish concept in works that provided descriptive and analytical matter, and to detect through manuscript lines the significance of the process involving the semantics of the practice of music at different periods. The present book is mainly focused upon the practical theory of the makams reflected in the production and performance of the melodic scales the way they are described in Ottoman manuscripts.

Beyond the glory of the Sultans: Cantemir's view of the Turks.
New English Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. 200 p., b/w and color ills. "Prince Dimitrie Cantemir (1673-1723) combined a multitude of talents in a complex personality of spiritual enlightenment and intellectual curiosity. His works form a reservoir of facts and histories that reveal surprising angles to many philosophical and cultural questions through a maze of revolving evasions in search for the deep meaning. Cantemir never ceased to amaze European and Turkish intellectuals with the wealth of his analyses and observations across interrelated areas of knowledge. The humanistic curiosity of Cantemir has no limits as he continues to move around the multifaceted points of his attention in search of the ultimate perspective to his subjects. The Turks, their actions and customs aggressive and kindly, genuine and symbolic, ordinary and majestic, stand in overwhelming light on the center stage of Cantemir's world of configurations.".

Prens Dimitri Cantemir: Türk musikisi bestekâri ve nazariyatçisi. [= Prince Dimitrie Cantemir: Theorist and composer of Turkish music]. Translated by Selçuk Alimdar.
Fine English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 16 cm). In Turkish. 216 p., b/w ills. Turkish Edition of Popescu-Judetz's 'Prince Dimitrie Cantemir: Theorist and composer of Turkish music'. The present book is not limited to the study of Cantemir's treatise on Ottoman music. It first gives us the complete story of his eventful and dramatic life including his Russian stage and an account of his multifarious activities. In the same chapter the writer goes through not only his history of the Ottoman empire but other Cantemir books and other Romanian sources about the Prince and familiarises us with the content of these works. Her quotations from and references to various non-standard sources make this part of the book more useful and appealing. I believe this introduction will become a standard source for anybody who is to consider Cantemir's life, his story and other works.

Tanburi Küçük Artin: A musical treatise of the Eighteenth Century.
Fine English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. 204 p. First Edition. "This book is an in-depth examination of Tanburi Kucuk Artin 's unique work written in Turkish with Armenian characters on the practical theory of the Ottoman art music of the eighteenth century. A court musician to Sultan Mahmud I and also to Nadir Shah of Iran, the Armenian musician Artin has traveled from Istanbul to India gathering along the way an abundance of musical knowledge and colorful anecdotes from vast regions. Placed at midway between Dimitrie Cantemir and Abdulbaki Dede, he occupies a privileged position in the history of Turkish Music as an original writer and inventive musician and tanbur teacher. The presentation in this inquisitive study by Eugenia Popescu-Judetz is intended for both musicians and musicologists. It includes Artin's original text composed in Turkish with notational examples, a comprehensive commentary and insightful analysis, and is completed with a series of comparative tables.".
