Limited reprint edition (all copies are numbered) of 1854-1855 Berlin edition of Salzenberg's book exemplifying a growing 19th-century appreciation of Romanesque and 'Byzantine' architecture. For the original edition see Blackmer 1483; Brunet V, 103. "Salzenberg's important work remains the major source of information about the mosaics of St. Sophia". (Blackmer). 1000 copies were printed for individual persons. This copy belonged to 'Ender S. Özer Bagciman. All copies were numbered. (651/1000). The churches Salzenberg describes illustrating the development of a Christian architecture away from the secular long nave basilica or of the classical temple (never intended for congregational use), to a Greek-cross plan with a central dome, allowing greater accessibility to the altar table. Most of the text is devoted to the cathedral of the Holy Wisdom [i.e. Hagia Sophia], built-in Constantinople for Justinian I by Anthemius of Tralles and Isidore of Miletus, who dared to set a large dome over a square with the support of pendentives, achieving, with eastern and western half-domes, an uninterrupted span of over 200 feet. This building provided a model or inspiration to architects of the Middle East and Europe seeking to experiment with central, domed structures.

‎The New Turkey and Its Discontents‎

‎8vo. 225 x 145 mm. Language: English . Brand New Book. Today s Turkey little resembles that of recent decades. Newfound economic prosperity has had many unexpected social and political repercussions, most notably the rise of the AKP party and President Erdogan. Despite unprecedented electoral popularity, the conduct of the AKP has faced growing criticism: Turkey has yet to solve its Kurdish question; its foreign policy is increasingly fraught as it balances relations with Iran, Israel, Russia and the EU; and widespread protests gripped the country in 2013, as did an unsuccessful coup in 2016. The government is now perceived by many to be corrupt, unaccountable, intimidating of the press and intolerant of political alternatives. Has this once promising democracy descended into a tyranny of the majority led by a charismatic leader? Is Turkey more polarised now than at any point in its recent history? These are among the questions at the heart of The New Turkey and Its Discontents, which traces Turkey s evolution under Erdogan s leadership, and assesses the likely consequences at home and abroad‎

‎Very Good French Eight panels of panoramic photograph folded into original printed light brown card wrappers titled "Souvenir d'Alep (Syrie). / Panoramique d'Alep" and "Editeur Wattar Freres, Alep (Syrie)" on the cover. Open size: 9x112 cm. In French. Contemporarily repaired verso of hinges by tape, overall a fine copy. Scarce wide-angle black and white photo-lithographic panoramic view of one of the oldest and most important cities of the Islamic Middle East, Aleppo of Syria, taken at twilight time, in the 1920s, when the country was under the French Occupation between 1920-22. This attractive photograph was edited and also probably taken by the Wattar Brothers, who were the famous and prolific editors and photographers of Syria and Southeast Anatolia including Kilis, Aintab (today: Gaziantep), etc. The Wattar Freres' descendants were present in Syria until the early 2000s (Serifoglu). This panorama is uncommon, showing many architectural buildings peculiar to Aleppo are no longer in place after the wars, especially the ongoing Syrian Civil War.‎

‎WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, (1564-1616).‎

‎[FIRST TURKISH JULIUS CAESAR] Jül Sezar. Translated by Abdullah Cevdet [Karlidag], (1869-1932).‎

‎Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) In a contemporary creme cloth. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 165 p. Kütüphane-i Ictihad, Aded, 20. First Turkish edition of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. Between 1908 and 1910, Abdullah Cevdet produced a large oeuvre of translations, including four translations of Shakespeare's tragedies: The translations of Hamlet and Julius Caesar (translated by Cevdet as Jül Sezar) were published in 1908, the same year as the declaration of the Second Constitution. [.] Nonetheless, Abdülhamid II seemed to be even less tolerant of the dissemination of Hamlet, Macbeth, and Julius Caesar, since they were about unjust rulers who were executed in the end. It is not surprising that the performances of these plays were subject to strict censorship in the Ottoman lands and banned (Paker 1986: 91). This could be shown as a reason why Abdullah Cevdet was able to publish the translations of these plays only after 1908, though he had finished translating Hamlet in 1902, Julius Caesar and Macbeth in 1904, and Romeo and Juliet in 1905 (Süssheim 1987). Due to the fact that Abdullah Cevdet was a culture-planner, his literary translations cannot only be judged on their "aesthetic" level. It will be discussed in this chapter that Abdullah Cevdet's translations of Hamlet, Julius Caesar, and Macbeth could be read as critical texts directed against Abdülhamid II's absolutist regime. Due to the fact that the selection of source language and culture is an important factor in accounting for any kind of "translation policy", Abdullah Cevdet's selection of source language and culture needs to be questioned (Toury 2000: 202). Even though Abdullah Cevdet does not include Julius Caesar (translated by Abdullah Cevdet with the title Jül Sezar) among what he calls "the four inauspicious tragedies", it was the only play for which Abdullah Cevdet wrote an impressive preface, and it was the second play he translated and published after Hamlet. In a sense, special importance was attributed to Julius Caesar by Abdullah Cevdet for ideological reasons and it was also highly esteemed by other revolutionaries in the Union and Progress Party (Enginün 1979: 119). Abdullah Cevdet was an Ottoman-born Turkish intellectual and physician of ethnic Kurdish descent. He was one of the founders of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP). In 1908, he joined the Democratic Party, which later on merged with the Freedom and Accord Party in 1911. He was also a translator, radical free-thinker, and an ideologist of the Young Turks until 1908. The son of a physician, and himself a graduate from the Military College in Constantinople as an ophthalmologist, Cevdet, initially a pious Muslim, was influenced by Western materialistic philosophies and came to oppose institutionalized religion, but thought that "although the Muslim God was of no use in the modern era, the Islamic society must preserve Islamic principles". He published the periodical Içtihat from 1904-1932, in which articles he used to promote his modernist thoughts. He was arrested and expelled from his country several times due to his political activities and lived in Europe, in cities including Vienna, Geneva and Paris. His poetry was linked with the Symbolist movement in France, and he received accolades from leading French authors like Gustave Kahn. Özege 9788. Four institutional copies in OCLC: 4026865.‎

‎WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, (1564-1616).‎

‎[FIRST TURKISH MERCHANT OF VENICE] Venedik taciri. Meshur Ingiliz muharriri Shakespeare'in ayni namdaki eserinden muktabes en mükemmel artislerin istirakiyle filme geçirilmis 5 kisimlik fevkalâde bir dram. 12 Mart Çarsamba aksami Saat 10-dan itibaren Elhamra Sinemasinda gösterilecektir. Translated by Örikagasizâde Hasan Sirri, (1861-1939).‎

‎Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Full morocco in Ottoman style. Foolscap 8vo. (18,5 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 176 p. Extremely rare first Turkish translation of the Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare in book form. The Merchant of Venice (1885) and The Comedy of Errors (1886-87) were the earliest translations into Turkish by Hasan Sirri, which had the chance to be published in book form. Translators in the Ottoman era had to cope with three obstacles: cultural differences, difficulty in language, and censorship. Shakespeare's works were no exception, as Gönül Bakay argues "the early, Ottoman-period translators and producers expunged the negative imagery" (2004: np) of the Turks in his plays. Even The Merchant of Venice was banned because "it was believed that the theme would offend the Empire's (after 1923, the Republic's) Jewish population". The first play fully translated for print was actually the Merchant of Venice, published in 1885 in Turkish (Arabic letters - Ottoman script). There is a good deal of conjecture about the name of the translator: Only two initials appear on the book, H. and I. now claimed to be the first letter of the first name and the last letter of the last name of a Hasan Sirri. The translator of this book Örikagasizâde Hasan Sirri, (1861-1939), was an administrator and educator who grew up during the reign of Abdulhamid II and was in state service for almost forty years. He was the son of Turkish diwan poet Ahmet Nafiz Pasha and the father of author Nahid Sirri Örik.
