Islâm medeniyetinde bahçe sanati. [= The art of the Islamic garden]. Translated by Elif Dolanbay, Adem Yerinde.
New Turkish Original bdg. HC. 4to. (28 x 20 cm). Edition in Turkish. 228 p., color and b/w ills. Islâm medeniyetinde bahçe sanati. [= The art of the Islamic garden]. Translated by Elif Dolanbay, Adem Yerinde. The Islamic garden is regarded as one of the highest forms of visual art in the civilization of Islam, and this guide explains these gardens' history and symbolism, and their connections to the Quran. The principal elements are water and shade; they are also characterized by the chahar-bagh: a four-fold pattern, constructed around a central pool or fountain, with four streams flowing toward the four corners of the earth. This design is aesthetically striking; however, a true appreciation of an Islamic garden is only complete with an understanding of the spiritual symbolism manifested in its design and planting. The significance of the gardens' layout and design are explored, as well as the geometry, hard landscaping, and architectural elements, allowing a deeper understanding of the gardens' beauty. Practical instructions include recommendations for suitable trees, shrubs, and flowers, and advice on creating an Islamic garden in cooler climates.

To the saints in Asia Minor: An exploration of Christian history in Turkey. Vol. 1: The Aegean region.
New English Original bdg. HC. Oblong 4to. In English. 137 p., ills. To the saints in Asia Minor: An exploration of Christian history in Turkey. Vol. 1: The Aegean region. As we guide you in the footsteps of the early saints through the olive groves, wetlands, and seasides of Western Turkey, we hope to enrich your experience of scripture and church history set in the Aegean Region. We'll begin our journey in the Christian epicenter of Ephesus where the Apostle Paul's School of Tyrannus unleashed the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout Asia. You will come face-tofave with the Aegean churches that were instructed, corrected, and encouraged by the risen Christ in the book of Revelation, authored by John. He may have known these churches quite well after serving as the bishop of ephesus. In addition to Paul and John, we meet other church fathers, many of them martyred, who led, encouraged, and critiqued the churches and Christians in the region. From world powers and church fathers to religious temples and city marketplaces, join us in encountering the saints and their surroundings in the Aegean Region of Turkey.

Hierapolis di Frigia XIV: Architettura Ionica a Hierapolis di Frigia.
New Italian Original bdg. HC. Folio. (31 x 22 cm). In Italian with Turkish summaries. 400 p., numerous color ills. Il quattordicesimo volume della serie "Hierapolis di Frigia" è incentrato sull'architettura ionica di Hierapolis. Uno studio analitico è dedicato ai due più importanti santuari della città. Dal Santuario di Apollo proviene una eccezionale serie di capitelli ionici con collarino decorato di età adrianea, ai quali si aggiunge un approfondimento sui materiali relativi al Portico Superiore di età flavia, di ordine corinzio, in passato associati a quei capitelli ionici. Nel Ploutonion, santuario di Plutone e Kore, un portico ionico fu invece costruito in età neroniana insieme ad un'edicola-naos che conteneva l'imponente statua di culto. Il rilievo e l'analisi sistematica dei materiali in entrambi i contesti sacri conducono alla ricomposizione architettonica degli edifici, illustrata anche da ricostruzioni 3D e accompagnata dall'analisi delle loro funzioni e dei significati simbolici, come pure del linguaggio formale, consentendo di definirne le cronologie. Ampio spazio è dedicato anche alla decorazione architettonica degli altri monumenti ionici della città, come la facciata dello stesso Ploutonion, il Tempio B, le agorai, la Stoà-basilica, nonché all'analisi dei numerosi capitelli ionici sporadici, così da pervenire ad un quadro completo dell'architettura ionica ierapolitana. La questione delle botteghe artistiche viene affrontata sulla base di questo importante dossier che dall'età ellenistica attraversa tutta l'età imperiale e che, grazie al sistematico confronto con gli altri monumenti microasiatici, consente di proporre approfondimenti sui caratteri del linguaggio locale ma anche sul rapporto tra Hierapolis e gli altri centri, in particolare Pergamo e Aphrodisias. Infine un focus specifico è dedicato alla discussione dei modelli architettonici e della semantica dell'ordine ionico nella città frigia, offrendo una rilettura delle istanze ideologiche che plasmarono l'immagine urbana di Hierapolis.

CIHAN ÖZGÜN, MUSTAFA KAYMAKÇI.
Rhodes and Kos Turks: Contributions to the Turkish War of Independence and current problems.
New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 112 p. Turks living in Rhodes and Kos (Istanköy) today have been one of the ancient peoples of the islands since 1522. Finally, the Islands were ceded to Greece with the 1947 Conference of Paris by stipulating in Article l4 that "these islands shall be and remain demilitarized". With the ceding of the islands to Greece, the dramatic condition of the Rhodes and Kos(Istanköy)Turks became increasingly more intolerable. However, the link between the Turks of the island and Turkey, in terms of Awareness of Turkishness and Solidarity as well as socio-economic terms with Turkey, was also a prevalent issue in the past as it is today. In fact, Rhodes and Kos (Istanköy) Turks did not hesitate to extend their support to the National Campaign (Milli Müdafaa), both directly and indirectly, while the Turks fought against the Greek forces under the command of Mustafa Kemal Pasha in Anatolia. They tried to provide contribution to the campaign with the "Rhodes and Kos (Istanköy)Association for the Defense of Islamic Rights" (Rodos ve Istanköy Müdafaa-i Hukuk-i Islamiye Cemiyeti) in 1919. Likewise, the book entitled "Rhodes and Kos: Contributions to the Turkish War of Independence and Current Problems" mainly aims to reveal the contributions of the island Turks to the Turkish War of Independence. This book consists of three consecutive sections. The first section covers the "Contributions of Rhodes and Kos (Istanköy) Turks to the Turkish War of Independence". In the second section, on the other hand, the subject of "The Current Problems of the Rhodes and Kos Turks Stemming from the Turkish-Greek Relations as Regards the Aegean Sea" was addressed. In the third section, the subject of "Recommendations for Transforming Turkish-Greek Relations into a Lasting Friendship" was addressed on a general level and in terms of Rhodes and Kos (Istanköy)Turkishness. Thus, we wished to bring the current problems experienced by the Turks regarding the Turkish-Greek relations into the agenda of the national and international public by establishing a connection with the history of the remaining Turks in the islands.

Turkey and the world of today.
Fine English Paperback. Foolscap 8vo. (17 x 12 cm). In English. 44 p. The main democratic force in Turkey as elsewhere is the working class which makes itself heard through its own political party. After the military coup d'etat of March 12th, 1971, a time of tough repression fell upon the working class and its legal political party was banned, but the working class emerged period of repression. The political party of the working class is being built and developed on this solid foundation.". Behice Boran was a Turkish Marxist politician, author, and sociologist. As a dissenting political voice from the left, Boran was repeatedly imprisoned for her work and died in exile after the Turkish military coup of 1980. Boran was born in Bursa to Volga Tatar parents whose families had settled in the Ottoman Empire during the 1890s. She graduated from American College for Girls in Istanbul, Turkey, and studied sociology at the University of Michigan in the United States.

She was nominated to Ankara University, Faculty of Language and History-Geography (AÜ, DTCF) as an associate professor. She also joined the clandestine Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) and began publishing left-wing periodicals, Yurt ve Dünya (English: Motherland and World) and Adimlar (English: Steps), which led to her sacking from the university. In 1950, she led the formation of the Turkish Peacelovers Association, which protested against Turkey's participation in the Korean War, which led to her arrest and a sentence of 15 months in prison.

She was arrested after the military coup of 1971 and sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment. After she was released following an amnesty, she re-established the TIP in 1975. After the military coup of 1980, Boran went into exile in Europe, living as a political refugee in Sofia, Brussels, and Düsseldorf. In 1987, she announced that TIP and TKP had decided to merge. She died soon after this press conference from heart disease in Brussels, Belgium. She was 77 years old. Her body was brought to Istanbul and her funeral turned into a mass demonstration, the first public show of force of Turkey's left-wing movement after the coup. (Wikipedia).

PAUL LANGE BEY, (German musician, teacher, orchestra and choir leader living and working in Istanbul), (1857-1919).
[SHEET MUSIC - ANTHEM OF BARBAROS HAYREDDIN] Haireddin Barbarousse.= Barbaros Hayreddin marsi.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Paperback. Folio. (33 x 24 cm). In Ottoman script (Turkish with Arabic letters), and bilingual text in French and Ottoman Turkish on the cover. [4] p. Paul Lange was a German musician, teacher, orchestra, and choir leader living and working in Istanbul. Lange "Europeanized" Turkish military music and was one of the pioneers to bring German and European classical music to the Ottoman capital in the years between 1880 and 1920. Lange was born in Kartzow, Prussia, the descendant of an old Prussian teacher family. He was trained at the teacher's college in Neuruppin to become a school teacher. He graduated from that college in 1879 with honors. Because of his high musical skills, he was then admitted to the "Royal Academic Institute for Church Music" in Berlin, where he received training as a church organist. In 1880, Lange moved to Constantinople, where he assumed a position as a music teacher at the German School (Alman Lisesi) as well as organist of the Chapel of the German Embassy. Subsequently, Lange also became a music teacher at various other institutes of higher education in Constantinople, including several Greek and Armenian high schools (lycées) as well as American colleges such as Robert College and American College for Girls. Lange became a successful piano teacher and subsequently also formed his private conservatory, which however had to declare bankruptcy after two years. He transformed an existing Italian orchestra into a large German-style symphony orchestra with which he conducted the first performances ever of Beethoven symphonies and Wagner operas in the Ottoman Empire, with enormous success. Finally, during his visit to Constantinople in 1898, Kaiser Wilhelm II, who had already appointed him a "Kaiserlicher Musikdirektor" in 1894, became aware of Lange and helped him gain a position as head of a naval military orchestra of the Ottoman Navy. Subsequently, he took over several other military ensembles, before finally being appointed Director of the Sultan's music after the revolution in 1908. Since then Lange carried the Ottoman Court title "Bey". As a member of the Ottoman court, Lange was allowed to stay in Istanbul by the Allied Military Administration when all other Germans and Austrians were deported from the city. When Lange died in Üsküdar, Ottoman Empire, in December 1919, he received a state funeral, and the British Embassy chaplain performed the funeral at Feriköy Protestant Cemetery. However, his widow and his youngest daughter, who had stayed with him in Istanbul, were deported to Germany only a few months later in May 1920. The German-American conductor Hans Lange (assistant of Arturo Toscanini in New York City, later conductor at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, best known for numerous recordings with the Wagner soprano Kirsten Flagstad) was the oldest son of Paul Lange. Paul Lange was a close friend of fellow German lecturer, Dr. Friedrich Schrader, also a faculty member at Robert College in the 1890s.

CARLO ZECCHI, (Italian conductor, pianist, music teacher), (1903-1984).
[ZECCHI IN ISTANBUL] Autograph concert program signed 'Carlo Zecchi', on a rare printed program of a concert performed in Pera in 1933.
Very Good Italian Original autograph concert program signed by Carlo Zecchi as 'Carlo Zecchi, 17-4-33'. 21x14,5 cm. Bilingual in Italian and Turkish. 3, [1] p., signature on cover. Program of Zecchi (as a pianist) and Nerio Brunelli (as a violoncellist) which was performed in Constantinople (Istanbul), Beyoglu in 1933 (Lunedi17 Aprile, alle ore 21,30). The program has a decorative cover with its decorative borders and has a couple of postal stamps on its second page (One is Ottoman, one is the Republican Turkey stamp). According to the program, Zecchi and Brunelli performed Mozart, Scarlatti, Beethoven, Varacini, Boccherini, Respighi, Casella, Chopin, Dunkler Brunelli, and R. Strauss. Carlo Zecchi was an Italian pianist, music teacher, and conductor. Zecchi was born in Rome. In Berlin, he studied piano with Ferruccio Busoni and Artur Schnabel. He led pianistic courses in Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Rome, and in Salzburg. He was a highly acclaimed performer of the works of Domenico Scarlatti, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Claude Debussy, and other Romantic music. Carlo Zecchi made his Italian debut in 1920, first performed abroad in 1922, and made his first tour of the USA in 1931. In 1939 he had a car accident, which obliged him to abandon work as a soloist, although he continued playing the most demanding chamber music and conducting. He played as only as of the duo partner of the cellist Enrico Mainardi. He toured America with the Florence May Festival Orchestra in 1957 and was the permanent conductor of the Vienna Chamber Orchestra from 1964 to 1976. In his last years, two fingers on his left hand were paralyzed, yet he performed Schubert's Trout Quintet. He also taught, mostly at the S. Cecilia Academy in Rome and the Salzburg Mozarteum. Luckily several hours of Carlo Zecchi's playing were recorded, and he also made several recordings shortly before his death. His Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, and pieces from the Baroque era, such as Antonio Vivaldi-J.S. Bach Concerto, Scarlatti, and Galilei remain unparalleled. While Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was better known and often recorded, Zecchi represents the height of pianism to emerge from Italy. (Source: Bach Cantatas).

KAZIM KARABEKIR, (The commander of the Eastern Army of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I and served as Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey), (1882-1948).
Typescript letter signed 'K. Karabekir' to Nevzad Ayas.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original typescript letter signed (TLS) by Kâzim Karabekir to Nevzat Ayas [Abdullatif Nevzad Ayasbeyoglu], (1889-1966), who was an important Turkish politician. 21x15 cm. In Turkish (Modern) with Latin letters. 1 p. [in four]. 'Sevgili Bay Nevzad Ayas, Yazilarinizi ilgili iç makama bildirmemizi uygun görürüm. Sevgilerimle gözlerinizden öperim, K. Karabekir'. "The Grand National Assembly of Turkey Presidency - Special" letterhead. The letter has five typescript lines with autograph signature of Karabekir. Musa Kâzim Karabekir was a Turkish general and politician. He was the commander of the Eastern Army of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I and served as Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey before his death. Karabekir was born in 1882 as the son of an Ottoman general, Mehmet Emin Pasha, in the Kocamustafapasa quarter of the Kuleli neighborhood of Constantinople, Ottoman Empire. The Karabekir family traced its heritage back to the medieval Karamanid principality in central Anatolia. Karabekir toured several places in the Ottoman Empire while his father served in the army. He returned to Istanbul in 1893 with his mother after his father's death in Mecca. They settled in the Zeyrek quarter. Karabekir was put into Fatih military secondary school the next year. After finishing his education there, he attended the Kuleli Military High School, from which he graduated in 1899. He continued his education at the Ottoman Military College, which he finished on 6 December 1902 at the top of his class. As a junior officer, after two months he was commissioned in January 1906 to the Third Army in the region around Bitola in North Macedonia. There, he was involved in fights with Greek and Bulgarian komitadjis. For his successful service, he was promoted to the rank of Senior Captain in 1907. In the following years, he served in Constantinople and again in the Second Army in Edirne. During his service in Edirne, Karabekir was promoted to the rank of major on 27 April 1912. He took part in the First Balkan War against Bulgarian forces, but was captured during the Battle of Edirne-Kale on 22 April 1913. He remained a POW until the armistice of 21 October 1913. Before the outbreak of World War I, Karabekir served for a while in Constantinople and was then sent to some European countries like Austria, Germany, France and Switzerland. In July 1914, he returned home, as a world war was likely. He was commissioned to the Iraqi front to join the Sixth Army. For his success at Gallipoli, he was decorated in December 1915 both by the Ottoman and German Command, and was contemporaneously promoted to colonel. In April 1916, he took over the command of the 18th Corps, which gained a great victory over the British forces led by General Charles Townshend during the Siege of Kut-al Amara in Iraq. Karabekir was appointed commander of the 2nd Corps on the Caucasian front and fought bitterly against the Russian and Armenian forces for almost ten months. In September 1917, he was promoted to brigadier general by a decree of the Sultan. In compliance with the Treaty of Sèvres, which ended World War I, Ottoman Sultan Mehmet Vahdettin gave Karabekir the order to surrender to Entente powers, which he refused to obey. He stayed in the region and, on the eve of the Erzurum Congress when Mustafa Kemal had just arrived in Erzurum, he secured the city with a Cavalry Brigade under his command to protect him and the congressmen. He pledged with Mustafa Kemal to join the Turkish national movement and subsequently took the command of the Eastern Front during the Turkish War of Independence by the Kuva-yi Milliye. Karabekir Pasha moved to Ankara in October 1922, and continued to serve in the parliament as Deputy of Edirne. He was still the acting commander of the Eastern Army when he was elected Deputy of Constantinople on 29 June 1923. Six months later, he was appointed Inspector of the First Army. Parliament awarded him the highest Turkish "Order of Inde

EMIN ONAT, (Turkish architect of 'Anitkabir' [i.e. Mausoleum]), (1908-1961).
Typescript letter signed 'Emin Onat', sent to the Dean Architectural Department Ccolumbia University, NY, US.
Very Good English Original typescript letter (TLS) signed by Emin Onat, sent to the Dean Architectural Department Columbia University, NY, US, with the letter's first draft including Onat's autograph corrections on the paper. 30x20 cm. Written in a tissue paper. 1+1 pp. Text in entirely English. The letter signed under the title 'O. Prof. Architect Dean of the Architectural Faculty of the Technical University, Ist., Turkey' by Onat. 20 lines. Text: "Allow me to introduce the bearer of this letter, architect Dr. Mukbil A. Gökdogan Professor of Architectural construction in our Faculty. He has been selected by the council of our Faculty, to work in the united nation's buildings and also to study, while in your country, the problems of housing and the methods of prefabrications. Visits to your institutes of constructions and architectural education would also be of great interest to the Dr. I wish to thank you in anticipation for all the valuable help and many suggestions which I am sure you will offer Prof. Gökdogan. Would you please give your teaching staff the sincere compliments of their colleagues in this university. With my kindest regards. Sincerely yours...". was a Turkish architect and former rector of Istanbul Technical University. Onat was born in Istanbul in 1908. He entered Istanbul Technical University in 1926. Then, he was sent to Zurich Technical University. Onat was one of the architects of Anitkabir, the Mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. His architectural style was formed at ETH. Emin Onat learned to experiment, interpret, and search for modernism from his teacher Otto R. Salvisberg, a well-known, experienced practicing architect. Despite getting under the Anitkabir's shadow, he has a unique architectural style. Onat's architectural talent blossomed at Zurich Technical University, where one of his fellow students was Otto Rudolf Salvisberg, who later went to become one of the best architects of his time. Onat completed his studies in Zurich and returned to Turkey in 1934. Within a year, he had become an assistant professor in the Department of Architecture at the School of Engineering. He held the post for a couple of years that were marked by strenuous relations with the other members of the faculty, owing to the novel methods of teaching Onat introduced. In 1944 Onat became the first dean of the newly established Faculty of Architecture at the Istanbul Technical University. Anitkabir's design refers to antique mausoleums, so it causes a lot of discussions. The most significant and important characteristic of Anitkabir is that compatible with Rasartepe's topography. It has a horizontal silhouette. It has two perpendicular axes and it opens to the city from 4 ways. It has a bond with the city and this bond makes a design unique for a place, but the monumental look of it distinguishes Anitkabir from the city. Monumantalizing the design makes it a conceptual object. Anitkabir visualizes its symbolism even in its ornaments.

Photographer: MIHRAN IRANIAN, (Turkish - Armenian photographer in Constantinople), (1890-19??).
Original photograph of the Entrance of the Bosphorus, taken by M. Iranian. 'Entree du Bosphore. 97: M. Iranian.
Very Good French Original sepia-toned photograph printed in a period photograph paper. 19x25 cm. Descriptive text in French. Chipped and tear on margins. Iranian was born in 1890 in Constantinople, Istanbul. It is known that he established his studio in 1891 in Pera district of Constantinople - the center of Armenian cultural and political life. In 1895 he enters into partnership with another photographer by the name of Gugasyan. By 1900s the business seems to have wound down as the images marked with his studio signature don't exhibit any over elements of the new century. Of all the major Armenian studios from Istanbul, Iranian's photographs are the rarest, and less than 300 are known to have survived. Iranian's primary subject was the city of Constantinople, its picturesque landscape, architectural heritage, and the many types of artisans and workers that populated its streets. Using the latest photography techniques, which allowed for very rapid exposures, Iranian captured the bustle of the city streets with remarkable clarity. Teeming with life and movement these images have a remarkable immediacy and documentary veracity quite unlike similar views produced by other photographers of the period. The typical approach for many of Iranian's contemporaries such as Sebah & Joalier or Guillame Berggren was to achieve as clear a picture as possible with perfectly balanced compositions and highly visible details - the hallmark of a 'good' commercial photographer. In contrast, Iranian's street views are full of photographic 'ruptures' - blurred figures in movement, surprised glances of people caught unawares - which give his works the viscerality of snapshots. But above all, Iranian was a master at capturing the mood of a place. Catching the Ottoman capital on the brink of rapid transformation, the photographer aimed to record many of its ancient streets and quarters disappear or change the appearance. Thus, like the Parisian street photography of Atget, Iranian's images are 'nostalgic for the present' that is irrevocably slipping into the past. In his studio, the clientele had the choice of a large range of costumes and props through which the modern urbanite could slip into the role of some long-gone ethnic or street type and become a part of history. It is this sense of melancholy that gives Iranian's photographs their subtle emotional power. This is also perhaps the reason why he was ultimately not as successful as a commercial photographer. Modernity had captured the imagination of the people and the wistful romanticism of Iranian's markedly less spectacular images was fast going out of fashion. The small legacy he has left behind is nevertheless of significance in the history of Near-Easter photography. He was one of the rare Ottoman photographers with an individual and subjective approach, which deserves a proper evaluation.
