‎MACKA SAIRI (Pseudonym of a poet from Trabzon who is against Ottoman Sultan).‎

‎31 MARCH INCIDENT / TRABZON IMPRINT Trabzon kahramani sehid-i muhterem Ilyas: Istanbul'da Otuzbir Mart vakâ-yi irticasinda köprü basinda Abdülhamid'in zâlîm askerlerine karsi durup din ve millet yolunda fedâ-yi can eden Yüzbasi Ilyas Bey'in vatan kardeslerine yadigâridir. i.e. Trabzon's hero esteemed martyr Ilyas: This work is a tribute to Captain Ilyas Bey who stood against Sultan Abdülhamid's oppressive forces at the bridgehead during the reactionary March 31 Incident in Istanbul sacrificing his life in defense of his faith and nation. It remains a legacy for his patriotic brothers.‎

‎Trabzon: Mesveret Matbaasi. AH 1325 1909. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Original wrappers. Cr. 8vo. 20 x 11 cm. In Ottoman script Old Turkish with Arabic letters. 15 p. Restored spine by special tape chippings on extremities of the front cover uncut pages. Overall a good copy. The first and only edition of this epic poem written in memory of Turkish Unionist Captain Ilyas from Trabzon one of the first to fall when the sultan's supporters opened fire at the bridgehead in Galata Istanbul during the outbreak of the March 31 Incident. The poem which can also be regarded as an elegy for the Captain contains severe accusations against Sultan Abdulhamid II. The book was published by the Mesveret Printing House sharing its name with the Unionist and anti-sultan newspaper that had been published in Trabzon since the 1890s. It was written in 66 verses using an 11-syllable meter. The identity behind the pen name "Maçka Sairi" which appears at the end of the poem remains undetermined. He was likely a member of the Mesveret newspaper staff a close acquaintance of Captain Ilyas and a staunch opponent of Sultan Abdülhamid as well as a supporter of the Committee of Union and Progress. According to historical sources Captain Ilyas from Trabzon was the first person killed during the March 31 Incident. Due to this significant distinction an extensive poem was composed in his honor. While detailed information about Captain Ilyas is scarce it is believed that he was either a native of Trabzon or became affiliated with Mesveret while serving there. He was likely an Ottoman soldier who shared the same political views as the poem's author. Özege 25512.

In French Arabic Persian and Ottoman script Old Turkish with Arabic letters. 3 volumes set: 992 p.; 659 p.; 806 p. Slight wear and fading on bindings and spines and stains on pages. Overall a good set. First and only edition of this early comprehensive dictionary between multiple Eastern languages of Arabic Persian and Ottoman Turkish and French. Handjeri Hangerli had begun work on the volumes as early as 1806 upon the request of Armand Charles Guilleminot 1774-1840 a French general during the Napoleonic wars later ambassador to the Sublime Porte and awarded the Order of St. Anna. He completed the book in 1840 and dedicated it to the Russian Tsar Nicolas I who had it published in the Russian Imperial Press. In the preface of his work Alexandre Handjeri states that he tried to enrich his dictionary with artistic and technical terms in order to be useful to travelers and merchants as well as poets and that his book has distinctive features from previous dictionaries such as Meninsky's dictionary. The book which was sent to Istanbul for the review of the printing sample was introduced in Takvîm-i Vekâyi i.e. the first newspaper published in the Imperial Ottoman before the first volume was published. Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecid ordered 200 copies in his own name and also sent a jewel-decorated box to Handjéri as a gift for his service to the Turkish language and culture when the work was published. Handjeri was born in Constantinople received a thorough education trained to speak several European languages as well as Ottoman Turkish and Arabic and prepared for a high-ranking position in the Danubian Principalities. In his twenties he married a princess of the Callimachi family. Although coming into conflict with Ottoman officials on several occasions Handjeri was promoted to the Dragoman of the Porte in 1805 and he maintained the office for the following two years until Sultan Selim III appointed him Prince of Moldavia in place of the deposed Alexander Mourousis. He was nevertheless prevented from reaching his court in Iashi by the Russian occupation of the country and instead followed the Ottoman Army in their offensive. He was able to gain his throne after the Treaty of Bucharest and played a major part in re-establishing the country's administration. Upon the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence Handjeri felt threatened by a possible Ottoman move against the Phanariotes. He was allegedly warned by the Russian ambassador to the Porte Alexander Grigoriyevich Stroganov that as a prominent Greek in Istanbul he risked being assassinated and so he decided to flee the country. Handjeri and his family including his two sons Gregory and Telemach embarked on a small ship and set sail across the Black Sea dropping anchor at Odesa where they were given asylum by Novorossiya's governor Alexandre Langeron. Soon he moved to Moscow where he was awarded honors by Emperor Nicolas I. His title was recognized by Russian nobility and his two sons were appointed Counselors.

The third and fourth compartments have a lettered gilt title and a personal name Fikri in Ottoman script. Other ones have decorated gilts. Cr. 8vo. 20 x 14 cm. In Ottoman script Old Turkish with Arabic letters. 359 p. First and only edition of Süleyman Tevfik's eyewitness travel account to Thessaly who participated in the Turco-Greco War in 1897 as a war correspondent in the Thessaly Front between April 27 - May 20 1897. The Greco-Turkish War of 1897 or the Ottoman-Greek War of 1897 also called the Thirty Days' War and known in Greece as the Black '97. It 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 had long desired union with Greece. Despite the Ottoman victory on the field an autonomous Cretan State under Ottoman suzerainty was established the following year because 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 in an official open war 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 the 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. In Thessalian Front war was declared on 18 April when the Ottoman ambassador in Athens Asim Bey met with the Greek foreign minister announcing the cutting of diplomatic ties. Heavy fighting occurred between the 21-22 April outside the town of Tyrnavos but when the overwhelming Ottoman forces converged and pushed together the Greek general staff ordered a general withdrawal spreading panic among soldiers and civilians alike. Larissa fell on 27 April while the Greek front was being reorganized behind the strategic lines of Velestino in Farsala. Nevertheless a division was ordered to head for Velestino thus cutting Greek forces in two 60 km apart. Between 27 and 30 April under the command of Col. Konstantinos Smolenskis Greek forces checked and halted the Ottoman advance. On 5 May three Ottoman divisions attacked Farsala forcing an orderly withdrawal of Greek forces to Domokos while on the eve of those events Smolenskis withdrew from newly recaptured Velestino to Almyros. Volos fell into Ottoman hands on 8 May. At Domokos the Greeks assembled 40000 men in a strong defensive position joined by about 2000 Italian "Redshirt" volunteers under the command of Ricciotti Garibaldi son of Giuseppe Garibaldi. The Ottoman Empire had a total of about 70000 troops of whom about 45000 were directly engaged in the battle. On 16 May the attackers sent part of their army around the flank of the Greeks to cut off their line of retreat but it failed to arrive in time. The next day the rest of their army made a frontal assault. Both sides fought ferociously. The Ottomans were held at bay by the fire of the defending infantry until their left flank defeated the Greek right. The Ottoman formation broke through forcing a renewed withdrawal. Smolenskis was ordered to stand his ground at the Thermopylae passage but on 20 May a ceasefire went into effect.

Extremely rare first and only edition of this guide to the distances and meridian calculations of some cities from Batumi located on the shores of Black Sea Europe until Great Britain Asia and Africa shores prepared for Turkish naval officers mariners and vessels describing the shores of the countries located on these routes. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ibrahim Edhem Pasha was an Ottoman statesman who held the office of Grand Vizier at the beginning of Abdul Hamid II's reign between 5 February 1877 and 11 January 1878. He resigned from that post after the Ottoman chances of winning the Russo-Turkish War 1877-1878 had decreased. He furthermore served in numerous administrative positions in the Ottoman Empire including minister of foreign affairs in 1856 then ambassador to Berlin in 1876 and to Vienna from 1879 to 1882. He also served as a military engineer and as Minister of Interior from 1883 to 1885. In 1876-1877 he represented the Ottoman Government at the Constantinople Conference. He was born in Chios of Greek ancestry in a Christian Greek Orthodox village on the island of Chios. Strangely his connection to Chios is not well-documented: his son Osman Hamdi Bey claimed that he was a member of the Scaramanga family but Edhem Pasha himself tried to efface his Greek connections. As a young boy in 1822 he was orphaned and captured by Ottoman soldiers during the massacre of the Greek population of Chios. He was sold into slavery brought to Constantinople and adopted by the later grand vizier Hüsrev Pasha. Lacking his own children and family Hüsrev Pasha raised about ten children who had been orphaned or bought as slaves many of whom ascended to important positions. The child now named Ibrahim Edhem quickly distinguished himself with his intelligence and after having attended schools in the Ottoman Empire he was dispatched along with a number of his peers and under the supervision of his father then grand vizier and of the sultan Mahmud II himself to Paris to pursue his studies under state scholarship. There he returned with a Bachelor of Arts and was one of the top pupils at the École des Mines. He was a classmate and a friend of Louis Pasteur. He thus became Turkey's first mining engineer in the modern sense and he started his career in this field. Edhem Pasha was the father of Osman Hamdi Bey a well-known archaeologist and painter as well as the founder of the Istanbul Archaeology Museum and the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. Another son Halil Edhem Eldem took up the archaeology museum after Osman Hamdi Bey's death and has been a deputy for ten years under the newly founded Turkish Republic. Yet another son Ismail Galib Bey is considered the founder of numismatics as a scientific discipline in Turkey. Later generations of the family also produced illustrious names. The architect Sedat Hakki Eldem a cousin is one of the pillars of the search for modern architectural styles adopted by the Republic of Turkey called the Republican style in the Turkish context in its early years and which marks many important buildings dating from the period of the 1920s and the 1930s. A great-grandson Burak Eldem is a writer while another Edhem Eldem is a renowned historian. More names include Erol Eldem Tiana Eldem Levent Eldem and Ercan Eldem an architect. Source: Wikipedia.

In Ottoman script Old Turkish with Arabic letters. 5 p.  Extremely rare early issue of this first official newspaper of the Ottoman Empire after the proclamation of Reform Tanzîmât in 1839  informed Daguerre's new and weird invention "photography" as it would be called in the 1850s to the Ottoman peoples and readers. The article reads: "It is the talk of the town steam engines have been able to run on rails in factories in recent years. Meanwhile a man carefully focused on his thoughts so much and the craft turned into a strange art and finally a coquettish mirror surface appeared. This skillful Frenchman named Daguerre drew the lines of objects by reflecting the sunlight with the methods of the different science of art he learned drew the contours of the objects and gave 20 years secretly and openly to the formation of this strange art. Finally he reached the goal and this event won the appreciation and admiration of everyone. This is to say the image of the object in the form of a large or small box free from light is pictured inside by passing through the glass in front of it. In order for the reflected picture to be captured on a surface some chemicals must be prepared. Daguerre has achieved this mix based on his experience. This substance applied on the plate is called iodine. After the plate is kept in the vapor of the iodine for a few minutes it is immediately placed in the dark box and the image passing through the window of the box is pictured for five minutes. Considering that some of the things that should be hidden are captured like this it will be understood what a valuable invention this is.". In the continuation of the article it is written that an Englishman named Talbot Henry Fox Talbot found the same thing with almost the same processes ! but Daguerre had taken pictures before. Takvim-i Vekâyi was the first fully Turkish-language newspaper. It was launched in 1831 by Sultan Mahmud II taking over from the Moniteur ottoman as the Official Gazette of the Ottoman Empire. With the beginning of the Tanzimat reform period Takvim-i Vekayi produced versions in multiple language editions. It ceased publication in 1878 resuming in 1891-2 before being closed again. It resumed in 1908 until around 1922. In the 1831-1878 period it published a total of 2119 issues - an average of slightly less than one a week.  <br/> <br/> Takvîm-i Vekâyi., [AH 1255] paperback‎

Early editions of this bestseller novels telling "the suffering of a woman who buried her forbidden love in her heart in a society where love is closed behind thick curtains through the eyes of a woman" by Güzide Sabri 1886-1946. Güzide Sabri Aygün was a Turkish female writer known for her modern romances which were published in multiple editions and several languages. She had two sisters Fatma Aliye and Emine Semiye. She grew up in Çamlica neighborhood of Istanbul. In later years she had to leave Istanbul and move to Anatolia with her family as her father was exiled resulting from his opposition to the despotism of Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II reigned 1876-1909. At a young age she was married to Ahmet Sabri Aygün the first notary of Beyoglu Pera. She was educated at home by special tutors. She was interested in literature inspired by her teacher Hodja Tahir Effendi a dictionary writer. She started to write at a very young age. However her teachers proposed she better deal with religious matters instead of poetry. Contrary to the pressures of her literature teacher she wrote her first novel Münevver in her youth years in 1899. She wrote the novel in remembrance of her friend who died from tuberculosis. It was serialized in the newspaper Hanimlara Mahsus "For Ladies" and won well recognition. In 1901 two years later the novel was published as a book and was also translated into the Serbian language. Her husband felt discomfort by his wife's prominence. As her teachers' reaction was not enough her husband also objected to her writing. However her enthusiasm could not deter her from writing. It is understood that her husband tried to prevent her writing as he did not allow her to write already at the wedding. She was forced to continue writing at night or secretly. After a short time her husband died. The unexpected death of her husband left deep traces in her. Güzide Sabri became a female writer who remained lifelong unhappy having a sad life in literature history. During this time the Servet-i Fünun "Wealth of Knowledge" movement formed by Recaizâde Mahmud Ekrem 1847-1914 and his students left its mark on the literature. Güzide Sabri was one of the authors who did not join the movement and remained on their own line. She is considered as one of the first female novelists among Turkish writers with widespread fame even though she was not involved in the new literary movement. She published her works in the Servet-i Fünun and other journals of the "National Literature" without being a member of any literary community. Her novels which were written in the early years of the Second Constitutional Era 1908-1918 and the Republican era from 1922 and were subject of feeling dream blind love and broken hearts were very popular and had multiple editions and were repeatedly filmed. Her second novel Ölmüs Bir Kadinin Evrak-i Metrûkesi "Derelict Documents of a Dead For Woman" was a bestseller. It was first published in 1901 reprinted several times and was filmed twice in 1956 and then in 1969. The novel was translated into the Armenian language. She authored romance novels for simple readers. She is considered as the author writing the first examples of the so-called mass-market romance novels and pioneer of the broken-hearts novels in her country. Her 1930-novel Hicran Gecesi "Night of Sorrow" is about the forbidden love of a bad woman. This book takes the romance novel one step forward in a forbidden impossible love story. Her novels which take place in Istanbul attracted the interest of readers outside of big cities like Istanbul and Izmir as well.

This interesting very rare and also pseudo-historical first book penned specifically on the Yezîdî people by an Ottoman statesman initially prepared as a report and then published in 1912 before WWI in Ottoman Cairo. One of only three written Eastern sources about this interesting community that has been subject to extremely controversial approaches throughout history. The first is the travel corpus of Evliya Çelebi the second is 'Abede-i Iblis' and the third is "Al-Yazidiyya Kadîmen wa Hadisen" which was published in Arabic in Beirut in 1934. Yezîdîs a member of a Kurdish religious minority found primarily in northern Iraq southeastern Turkey northern Syria the Caucasus region and parts of Iran. The Yezîdî religion includes elements of ancient Iranian religions as well as elements of Judaism Nestorian Christianity and Islam. Although scattered and probably numbering merely between 200000 and 1000000 the Yezîdîs have a well-organized society with a chief sheikh as the supreme religious head and an emir or prince as the secular head. The origins of the Yezîdî faith can be traced to areas of the Kurdish mountains of northern Iraq where pockets of devotion to the fallen Umayyad dynasty persisted long after the death of the last Umayyad caliph the half-Kurdish Marwan II in 750. Some descendants of the dynasty settled in the area further encouraging the development of mystical traditions in which the Umayyad lineage was prominently figured. In the early 12th century Sheikh 'Adî ibn Musâfir a Sufi and a descendant of the Umayyads settled in Lâlish north of Mosul and began a Sufi order known as the Adwiyyah. Although his own teachings were strictly orthodox the beliefs of his followers soon blended with local traditions. A distinct Yezîdî community living in the environs of Mosul appears in historical sources as early as the middle of the 12th century. This book includes descriptions of the Yezîdîs albeit all the prejudices within it on their geography origins mythology religions cosmogony etc. The book has a long chapter on Yezîdîs' chief divine Malak âûs or Tavus "Peacock Angel". Malak Taus has often been identified by outsiders with the Judeo-Christian figure of Satan causing the Yezîdîs to be inaccurately described as "Devil worshippers" as seen in this pseudo-historical book as well.

In Ottoman script Turkish with Arabic letters. 16 p. Rear cover is missing. 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.

In Ottoman script Old Turkish with Arabic letters. All toponyms are in Ottoman Turkish and Arabic. Scale: 1:500000. Shows Mediterranean shores on the north Bahr-i Lût i.e. the Dead Sea Aqaba Bay areas of Arabic tribes in very detail in addition special huge lands like 'Al-Hism Land'. Also it shows holy places antiquities fortresses rivers; and Turkish Sanjaks Qazas Nahiyes Qariyes based on the Ottoman administrative system. Cartographer is not indicated but it's composed for military purposes in the last period of the Imperial Ottoman especially for showing Arabian tribes spreading over vast areas in its period just before World War 1 date of the printing of this map such as 'Houtat Tribe'. A very detailed and attractive map of Palestine and Quds area and their topography. Following the Muslim conquest of Palestine in 636-640 several Muslim ruling dynasties succeeded each other as they wrestled control of Palestine: the Rashiduns; the Umayyads who built the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem; the Abbasids; the semi-independent Tulunids and the Ikhshidids; the Fatimids; and the Seljuks. In 1099 the Crusaders established the Kingdom of Jerusalem in Palestine which the Ayyubid Sultanate conquered in 1187. The Crusaders failed to retake Palestine despite further attempts. The Egyptian Mamluks took Palestine from the Mongols who had conquered the Ayyubid Sultanate in 1260. The Ottomans captured Palestine in 1516 and ruled it until Egypt took it in 1832. Eight years later the United Kingdom intervened and returned the region to the Ottomans. Considerable demographic changes happened during the 19th century and with the regional migrations of Druze Circassians and Bedouin tribes. The emergence of Zionism also brought many Jewish immigrants from Europe and the revival of the Hebrew language. Arabs in Palestine both Christian and Muslim settled and Bedouin were historically split between the Qays and Yaman factions. These divisions had their origins in pre-Islamic tribal feuds between Northern Arabians Qaysis and Southern Arabians Yamanis. The strife between the two tribal confederacies spread throughout the Arab world with their conquests subsuming even uninvolved families so that the population of Palestine identified with one or the other. Their conflicts continued after the 8th-century Civil war in Palestine until the early 20th century and gave rise to differences in customs tradition and dialect which remain to this day. Beit Sahour was first settled in the 14th century by a handful of Christian and Muslim clans hamula from Wadi Musa in Jordan the Christian Jaraisa and the Muslim Shaybat and Jubran who came to work as shepherds for Bethlehem's Christian landowners and they were subsequently joined by other Greek Orthodox immigrants from Egypt in the 17th-18th centuries. Due to the legacy of the Ottoman period the ethnic origins of some rural and urban Palestinians are either Albanian Circassian or from other non-Arab populations. <br/> <br/> [Ottoman Directorate of Mapping]., [c. 1910] unknown‎

Recipient is not defined. Letter indicates one of Camondo family's houses in Pera Constantinople. 265x21 cm. Completely in French. 14 lines. On a paper watermarked "William Brown & Co. London". William Brown and Co. were located in London in this 'St. Mary Axe and 40 to 41 Old Broad Street London E.C.' address according to Grace's guide to British industrial industry; they worked on 'Lithographic and Letterpress Printers'. 1887 Registered as a Limited Company. Count Moïse de Camondo 1860-1935 was an Ottoman Empire-born French banker and art collector. He was a member of the prominent Camondo family. As a child Camondo moved with his family from their home in Constantinople Ottoman Empire to Paris around 1869 where he grew up and continued the career of his father Nissim de Camondo 1830-1889 as a banker. He was born into a Sephardic Jewish family that owned one of the largest banks in the Ottoman Empire established in France since 1869. Starting in 1911 he completely rebuilt the family's Parisian mansion on the Parc Monceau in order to house his collection of 18th-century French furniture and artwork. Working closely with the architect René Sergent he created a palatial home conforming to certain 18th-century traditions even planning the room dimensions to match exactly the objects in his collection. The entryway is inspired by the Petit Trianon of Versailles. The home includes a kosher kitchen with separate sections for meat and dairy. The dining room includes a beautifully-carved green marble fountain in the shape of a shell with a dolphin spigot for the ritual washing of hands before eating a meal. Some highlights of his collection include a French silver service that had been ordered by Russian Empress Catherine the Great a set of Buffon porcelain with exact reproductions of ornithological drawings from the Sèvres manufacturer and perhaps the only existing complete set of Gobelin royal tapestry sketches. He married Irène Cahen d'Anvers daughter of Louis Cahen d'Anvers in 1891. They separated in August 1897 after her affair with de Camondo's stable master Count Charles Sampieri whom she would later marry and divorce. The children Nissim and Beatrice remained with de Camondo. The mansion was completed in 1914 but his son did not reside there very long as he rejoined the French Army to fight in The Great War. It had been de Camondo's great hope that his son whom he adored would take over the family empire. Following Nissim's death in 1917 de Camondo closed all banking activities. He largely withdrew from society and devoted himself primarily to his collection and to hosting dinners for a club of gourmets at regular intervals. Camondo died in 1935 and the museum opened the following year. He donated the home to Paris's Decorative Arts society as a museum Musée Nissim de Camondo in honor of the loss of his son Nissim in World War I. In addition to the collection the meticulously-restored service areas elevator and woodwork of the mansion are noteworthy. During the German occupation of France during World War II his daughter Béatrice his son-of-law Léon Reinach and their children Fanny and Bertrand were deported from France and died in the Auschwitz concentration camp. As a result the de Camondo family died out. <br/> <br/> I. Camondo & Cie, Constantinople Letterhead., 17 Janvier 1901 unknown‎

Well educated in 1883 Mousouros translated Dante's Divine Comedy into ancient Greek. He was married and had a son Stephanos Mousouros who later became Prince of Samos. Wikipedia. He is known as the first translator of Dante's Divine Comedy into modern Greek. Musurus Pasha had an intellectual identity. One of the most important occupations of Musurus Pasha in the last years was the translation of Dante's Divine Comedy from Italian to Greek. Being able to translate a work of Italian classics and masterpieces of western literature should be an indication of Musurus Pasha's performance and intellectual dimension. Due to negative statements about Muhammad and Ali in Dante's work the book was not allowed to be published within the Ottoman Imperial borders. Despite this Musurus Pasha asked him to be permitted to publish his translation but it was not accepted. Source: Bir Tanzimat diplomati Kostaki Musurus Pasa 1807-1891. NURDAN SAFAK.

Mustafa Halim Özyazici was an Ottoman calligrapher and one of the last of the classical Ottoman calligraphers using the Arabic script. He was a versatile calligrapher with a high level of expertise in many styles of script but was widely regarded as a master jeli-thuluth. He is most noted for his work on various restoration projects of both manuscripts and public buildings. He was born Mustafa Abdülhalim on 14 January 1898 in the Hazeki district of Istanbul. He was the son of Nalinci Haci Cemâl Efendi originally from Crimea and his mother was Sudanese. He was educated at Gülsen Junior High School where he was given lessons in calligraphy by Hamid Aytaç who recognised his talent and encouraged him to pursue calligraphy as a career. He later studied drawing and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Istanbul. His formal calligraphy studies were with Hasan Riza Effendi 1849-1920 and Kamil Akdik 1862-1941 where he mastered the thuluth nasih and riqâ scripts. In 1916 he was drafted into the Army. After completing basic training he worked in the Military Printing Department and also worked in Evkâf-i Islâmiyye Printing Press. Following his discharge from the Army in 1924 he opened an office in Bâbiâli Street The Sublime Porte where he prepared all types of calligraphy; business cards seals and book covers. He also taught in various schools around the Cagaloglu district of Istanbul. From 1927 he was employed in the Imperial Chancery. When the Latin alphabet replaced Arabic lettering in 1928 he applied to go to Egypt where classical calligraphy using Arabic script was still valued but his application was rejected in 1929. He subsequently abandoned calligraphy altogether. However during the 1940s his skills in classical calligraphy found an outlet when he became part of a major restoration project which worked on repairs to numerous manuscripts in a variety of styles and the restoration of calligraphic reliefs and monumental art in historic public buildings including many mosques. In 1948 he was appointed to the position of 'old writing teacher' at the Academy of Fine Arts in Istanbul; a position he retained until his retirement in 1963. One of his responsibilities was to write the diplomas for those who were about to graduate from the Academy. He died on 30 September 1964 ten days after being involved in a traffic accident. He was buried in the Kozlu Cemetery. Although he developed expertise in many different types of script he was regarded as a master of jeli-thuluth script. He wrote a number of exercise books for students to practice scripts in nesih thuluth-nesih riq'a diwânî and jeli diwânî and which were part of a program designed to promote the art of calligraphy. These books are still being printed and distributed to students of calligraphy. <br/> <br/> Maçka Konagi Sanat Merkezi paperback‎
