First and only edition of this early and extremely rare book containing 10 Aesop fables in Arabic along with their Ottoman Turkish translations compiled by Mekteb-i Sultani Galatasaray High School Arabic teacher Hafiz Refi. It was prepared based on the first printed compilation of Aesop's fables in Turkish together with their French translations titled "Choix de fables: Traduit en turc par un effendi de Constantinople et publiées avec une version française" compiled by Victor Letellier 1787-1859 in Paris 1826. The introduction of the book is in Arabic. This introduction starts with narrations of the prophets about science in general and Arabic science-themed apothegms. All of these are given with their Turkish translations by the author. After the introduction written to teach Arabic at Galatasaray High School Mekteb-i Sultânî the book includes ten Aesop stories in Arabic with their Turkish translations. These ten stories are parallel to the stories in the first Turkish Aesop compilation prepared by Victor Letellier and published in Paris in 1826. Özege 4577. Özdemir p. 19.
