SIMEON GUENTCHEFF & FRERES, (Bulgarian traders); HAMAMCIZADE NURI, (Ottoman / Turkish traders).
Autograph letter signed 'N[icolas] Guentcheff' sent to Hamamcizade Nuri [Ali].
Very Good French Original handwritten ALS. Sent to Hamamdjizades (Hamamdji Zade Nouri Aly). Letterhead 'Simeon Guentcheff & Freres' as bilingual in Bulgarian and French. Dated 2.XI.1927. "Accusons réception de votre honoree du 25 m.p. sont le contenu nous tromous conforme aux commandes faites par votre M.eur Nicolas Guentcheff.". After that introduction there's a short list: Poissons: Scoumuri, Palamond, Toric. 'Tarama', 'Marmeredjik' and Charan, Ak-cheir and Bandirma caviars. Haci Tahir Bey, who came from Bahçesaray (Bakhchysarai) in the Crimea with his entire family, was one of many refugees. And he faced all the difficulties both of exile and of resettlement. As soon as he arrived, Tahir Bey found himself in the heart of Istanbul's commercial life; however, carving himself a niche was easier said than done. At first he dealt in provisions; in 1859, he became a tobacco trader in the neighborhood of Langa Kapisi, also known as Yeni Kapi, in Istanbul. Soon, unfortunately, he found that established local merchants were unhappy with the competition and complained to the Municipality. In turn, the Municipality ruled that, provided they did not engage in illegal activities, Tahir Bey and the rest of the refugees should be allowed to conduct their business unmolested. Just as he found no peace in his business dealings, Tahir Bey was not left alone in Zekeriyaköy, where he and his family had settled. According to members of the present generation of his family, his home was attacked by some local gangs so that they were forced to move to neighboring Sariyer. Around the same time, he moved his place of business to Unkapani, and his son Ali Nuri married the daughter of the owner of the historical Public Bath (hamam) of Sariyer. The profession of Ali Nuri Bey's father-in-law gave the family its surname as well as a brand name that would command respect for more than a century. Ali Nuri Bey continued in his father's footsteps, gradually becoming the kind of entrepreneur that the Ottoman Empire sorely needed. The 1880s witnessed his earliest ventures as he began to deal in provisions near Unkapani, and established the first incarnation of what would later become Hamamcioglu Müesseseleri Ticaret Türk A.S. in the form of a sole proprietorship located in the commercial building Limon Han in the Tütüngümrük neighborhood of the district of Eminönü. In 1885, his son Nuri Ali joined the firm. At this date, a commercial yearbook makes mention of "Ali (H.)", a dealer in oil and rice, at No. 36, Cambazhane Avenue. While we are unable to determine for certain whether or not this listing refers to a member of the Hamamcioglu family, the same commercial directory for the year 1896-1897 does refer to "Hamamcioglu Ali" as a merchant based at No. 85, Osman Efendi Han. Over the next few years, the firm moved a number of times within the same building: thus, it was listed at No. 75 in 1898,5 No. 3 in 1901,6 and No. 9 in 1909. Starting in the 1910s, the firm Hamamcizadeler (or, as it is now known, Hamamcioglu) ventured into different business areas at different locations with a speed that makes it difficult to follow its precise trajectory. For example, a receipt from the wholesale fish market dated 1911 points to the family's interest in seafood. On the other hand, a document dated August 1914 now preserved in the Ottoman Archives orders that the olives in the warehouses belonging to Hamamcizade Ali Bey in the towns of Gemlik and Kursunlu should be guarded, indicating that the firm had a rather broad range of interests within the food sector.8 A listing of businesses registered at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 1923 describes "Hamamci Zade Nuri Ali", still located in the commercial building Osman Efendi, as dealing in "fish etc." 9 It is safe to assume that this qualification refers to all kinds of seafood -including salted fish, dried fish, caviar...

Preposterous paradoxes of Ambassador Morgenthau: A factual story about politics, propaganda and distortions.

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. As Turkish ambassador in France under the German Occupation after June 1940, Erkin used the power of his office and nation's neutrality to save Jews who could document a Turkish connection, however slight, from the Holocaust. 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.".

It was the homeland of the Early Christian Church Fathers who made many significant and lasting contributions to provincial Byzantine culture. 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.

All documents written between the years of 1818-1832 as 'roumi' dates (1234-1248 r.) and start with 'huve' traditionally. Sûbasi was the city guard during the early Ottoman era. During the reign of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, 'subasi's began to lose its former effectiveness, but its field of activity was further simplified and expanded. It is claimed that Byzantine institutions had an effect on this according to the historians. (Türkiye Diyanet Vakfi Islam Ansiklopedisi). 'Öshür (Ösür)' [i. e. Tithe] refers to the 'zakat' collected from land products in fiqh (Islamic law). This documents include the subject of ösür (tithe) worth. Written in and for a case 'Kanlicak' kariyesi of Üsküdar (Scutari). They reflect the Ottoman state and tax organization in the early 19th century.

Dated July, 28, 1927. It's written from Bursa city. Letterhead of Turkish Presidency. Inönü was a Turkish general and statesman, who served as the second President of Turkey from 10 November 1938 to 27 May 1950, when his Republican People's Party was defeated in Turkey's second free elections. He also served as the first Chief of the General Staff from 1922 to 1924, and as the first Prime Minister after the declaration of the Republic, serving three terms: from 1923 to 1924, 1925 to 1937, and 1961 to 1965. As President, he was granted the official title of "Millî Sef" (i.e. National Chief). When the 1934 Surname Law was adopted, Mustafa Kemal gave him a surname taken from Inönü, where he commanded the forces of Army of Grand National Assembly as the Minister of the Chief of the General Staff (Erkân-i Harbiye-i Umumiye Reis Vekili) during the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922. Afterwards these battles became to be known as the First Battle of Inönü and Second Battle of Inönü. Ismet graduated from the Imperial School of Military Engineering (Mühendishane-i Berrî-i Hümâyûn) in 1903 as gunnery officer, and received his first military assignment in the Ottoman Army. He joined the Committee of Union and Progress. He won his first military victories by suppressing two major revolts against the struggling Ottoman Empire, first in Rumelia and later in Yemen, whose leader was Yahya Muhammad Hamid ed-Din. He served as a military officer during the Balkan Wars on the Ottoman-Bulgarian front. During World War I, he served with the Ottoman military rank of Miralay (arbitrarily the equivalent of Colonel or Senior Colonel (Brigadier)) and worked under Mustafa Kemal Pasha during his assignments at the Caucasus and Palestine fronts. During the war, on 13 April 1916, Ismet married Mevhibe, who was a daughter of an Ashraf (Esraf) of Zistovi (present day Svishtov) Zühtü Efendi. They had three children: Ömer, Erdal and Özden (married to Metin Toker). After losing the Battle of Megiddo against General Edmund Allenby during the last days of World War I, he went to Constantinople (Istanbul) and was assigned Undersecretary of the Ministry of War and then General Secretary of the Documentation in the Military Council. After the military occupation of Constantinople on 16 March 1920, he decided to pass to Anatolia to join the Turkish National Movement. He and his chief of staff Major Saffet (Arikan) wore soldier uniform and left Maltepe in the evening of 19 March 1920 and arrived at Ankara on 9 April 1920... (Source: Wikipedia). This letter has been written in the Republic period.
