SÜKRÜ SERVER AYA, (1930-2019).
Preposterous paradoxes of Ambassador Morgenthau: A factual story about politics, propaganda and distortions.
New English Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [viii], 242 p., b/w ills. Preposterous paradoxes of Ambassador Morgenthau: A factual story about politics, propaganda and distortions. "Aya has done a service to our understanding of history with his analysis of Ambassador Morgenthau's reports on the Armenian question in the Ottoman Empire. Morgenthau has long held a prominent place in what has become the popularly accepted history of the events of World War I. His descriptions of Armenian suffering feature genocide. The difficulty, as demostrated by Aya, is that Morgenthau readily accepted fabricated evidence and himself falsified the record..." (Justin MCCarthy).

BEHIÇ ERKIN, (Ottoman / Turkish statesman, Minister of Public Works, Diplomat), (1876-1961).
Hâtirat, 1876-1958.
New New Turkish Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish. [xxxii], 640 p., b/w ills. Hâtirat, 1876-1958. Memoirs of an Army Officer and Turkish diplomat in Paris during Vichy time. Behiç Erkin was a Turkish career officer, first director (1920-1926) of the Turkish State Railways, nationalized under his auspices, statesman and diplomat of the Turkish Republic, who helped save almost 20,000 ethnic Jews in France during World War II. He was Minister of Public Works, 1926-1928, and deputy for three terms; and an ambassador. He served as Turkey's ambassador to Budapest between 1928-1939, and to Paris and Vichy between August 1939-August 1943.

Other Turkish diplomats in France and elsewhere, were also active in this rescue effort. The consulate staff under Necdet Kent in Marseille was particularly involved.

New English Original bdg. HC. 4to. (30 x 22 cm). In English and Turkish. 816 p., color ills. Microhistory of the Turkish posts, 1920-2015 - Volume 1: 1920-1950.= Türkiye'de postanin mikrotarihi, 1920-2015. Cilt 1: 1920-1950. Postal history and collecting bring to mind stamps and cancellations. Few people think of forms issued by the post office, even though these are used as commonly and show as much variety. When two collectors decided to focus on postal forms, they noticed the near absence of informative sources. Thus began the first broad study of the postal forms issued by the Ottoman Empire and Republic of Turkey. Microhistory of the Turkish Posts identifies and catalogues various types of postal forms rooted in the Ottoman era. Going well beyond technical information, the authors interpret the physical objects as well as the messages they carry. This enables them to draw intriguing linkages to political, economic, cultural, and social developments, opening new windows into Turkish history. This first volume reviews the emergence of postal forms during the Ottoman era, then covers the thirty-year period beginning in 1920 the year when a nationalist government in Ankara started challenging the authority of the Istanbul-based monarchy. The War of Independence saw the conversion of Ottoman postal forms to nationalist postal matter through either hand- or machine-made overprints; ne types were also produced. Highlighting usages of such rare items, the investigation continues with fascinating series produced up to the onset of bona fide multi-party governance in 1950.

NIHAT YASA.
Viransehir Sancagi mütesellimi Haydutoglu Mehmet Aga.
New Turkish Paperback. 4to. (28 x 21 cm) In Turkish. 93 p., b/w ills. and documents. "In the beginning of the 18th century in the Ottoman Empire as a result of internal unrest there occured governorship. It played an essential role in the internal politics of the state in the second half of the 18th and in the first half of the 19th century. Although the governorship was a class that developed with the activities similar to those of the feudal lords, vicegovernor, and farm owners, and were controlled by the state, it cannot be said that this establishment was completely independent of the state and had an ownership concept in a real sense of the word. Nearly all of the governors were getting their possessions when they were at the state service. This sheds light on the discussion related to the seizure of the possessions of the governors after their death or after the capital punishment due to the political reasons. The topic of this study is Haydutoglu Mehmet who was a statesman taking place in the governorship and who served as a governor in Viransehir (Safranbolu) in the Ottoman Empire. He was from the inhabitants of Kurucasile town of today's Bartin. He was punished by capital punishment and all his wealth was seized. This policy was not only applied to Haydutoglu Mehmet but to many governors and vicegovernors, and many of them were killed.".

Orthodox theory evolved here in the writings of Basil, Bishop of Caesaera, his brother's Gregory of Nyssa, and his friends Gregory of Nazianzus, all born and bred in the heart of Cappadocia. Cappadocia for the historians of Byzantine art is very unique, in that almost all the churches, chapels, monasteries are carved out of the soft volcanic stone. Göreme Open Air Museum area is characterized by many different types of painted churches in a landscape of impressive beauty. The wall painting of the churches inthe Open air Museum is exhibits an extensive pictorial cycle, dated back to the 10th-13th century, with scenes of the life of Christ, the 12 religious feats, Old Testament Prophets, Angels, Saints and Martyr.

Arsiv belgeleri isiginda Tavasli Osman Aga.
New Turkish Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish with Ottoman documents. 166 p., b/w ills. and Ottoman archival documents. Political and economical developments that took place beginning from the late 16th century, by changing the Ottoman administrative order in a great scale, gave way to a decentralization process. In this period, the class of notable superseded the governors assigned from the centre. Notables, who acquired the management of vast acres and farms through the system of tax farming and manor, in time had captured province bureaucracy and strengthened their autonomies. However, while the consequences of heavy defeat against Russia in 1774 had necessitated reformation in military field, the cost of these reforms played off central government and local powers. In he beginning of 19th century, as reforms which proposed re-centralization tired to push notables out of the system, notables opposed with a rigorous resistance. In this period in which arduous struggles occurred had taken place between Notables and the government, one of the strongest notables who joined authority struggle with the state was Osman Agha of Tavas.

Üsküdar was the break point for tthe Eastern voyagers going to the west and westerns voyagers going to Jerusalem or Asia. It was a place to see its own beauties witth the possibility to see the other side also and it became a zone for the engraving masters. We prepared a very beautiful exhibition following this art and history. During five hundred years since the beginning of the engraving until our days, we prepared some documents of engraving which brought to us the daily life of Üsküdar in ancient times and we collected them by the title of Üsküdar.

AMÎR KOSROW DEHLAVÎ, (Nasr Al-Din Abul-Hasan), (1253-1325).
Hikâye-i Çehar Dervis. [= Qissa-i Chahar Darwish]. Farisîden tercüme olunmusdur. Translated from Persian into Ottoman Turkish by Sahaf M[ehmed] Seyid.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Paperback. Foolscap 8vo. (17 x 13,5 cm). In Ottoman script. 93 p. Hikâye-i Çehar Dervis. Farisîden tercüme olunmusdur. Translated from Persian into Ottoman Turkish by Sahaf M. Seyid. Roumi: 1305 = AD: 1889. Khusraw was the "Parrot of India", the greatest Persian-writing poet of medieval India. Son of Amir Sayf-al-din Mahmûd, a Turkish officer, and an Indian mother, he was born in Patiali and early displayed his poetical talent, encouraged by his maternal grandfather, 'Emâd-al-molk. His master in poetry was Sehâb-al-din Ma?mera Badâ'ûnî, who had written religious and panegyric verse. ?osrow took service with Sultan Balban's family, accompanying his son Bo?ra Khan to Bengal and later his eldest son to Multan. There the prince was killed by the Mongols in 683/1284 and the poet captured. Afterwards he went with the governor ?atem Khan to Oudh and returned to Delhi in 688/1289. He was a favorite of Sultan Jalal-al-din ?al'ji (689-95/1290-96) and of his assassin 'Ala'-al-din ?al'ji (695-715/1296-1315), under whom he wrote most of his works. After enjoying the favor of Qo?b-al-din Mobaraksah (716-20/1316-20), Gia?-al-din Togloq (720-25/1320-25), and for a short time Mo?ammad Togloq, ?osrow died in 725/1325. One should not blame him for his shifting allegiances in a confused political situation; this was the normal practice of medieval poets. (Source: Encyclopædia Iranica). There's no biographical information on translator Mehmed Seyid; only we can know that he was a bookseller who could speak and read Persian in his period with the 'sahaf' [i.e. Antiquarian bookseller] term.
