2009New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 313 p. Istanbullu: A dictionary of Istanbulians. The book functions as a dictionary divided into alphabetical chapters. The entries gives the category, origin and meaning of the words and expressions as well as extra information such as Did you know that for cultural and historical facts, Turkish for related words, expressions and questions (thus you can also use the book as a Turkish language guide), Further information for further reading and resources. Istanbullu is intended to be useful for tourists and for people who are residing in Istanbul. Once in the city, a non-native visitor will be confronted with words like vapur, ezan, Adalar, Kuru Kahveci Mehmet Efendi, simit, tepe, dolmus, tavukgögsü, bay, bayan, akbil, kahvalti, abi, abla, çinaralti, balik ekmek, asure, bozuk para, paçanga, 50'lik, yakamoz, ocakbasi, köy and more. The reader of this book will learn what those words mean. I hope the same reader will take away more from the book than Turkish vocabulary and that he or she will want to read it while drinking tea or coffee by the Bosphorus.

ref. P5881Prague: Družstevní Práce 1935. Octavo 19.8 × 12 cm. Original embossed ochre cloth orange dust wrappers by Ladislav Sutnar; 8 115 2 pp. Frontis drawing by Ferdiš Duša. Light sun-tanning to spine; else very good or better in very good dust jacket. Scarce third book of poems by this Silesian poet who became famous for defending the rights of speakers of the so-called Lach dialects a group of dialects situated between the Czech and Polish languages. Although Åysohorsky grew up speaking German and initially published in German he later refused to write in standard Czech publishing numerous works in Lachian. A scholar of Slavic studies he systematized the grammar of Lachian and created the first published works using this dialect. Claiming persecution by Czech authorities who refused to recognize Lachian as an independent language he later asked Stalin to intercede on his behalf. He spent time in the Soviet Union and Boris Pasternak even translated several volumes of his poetry. Because of his controversial status in Czechoslovakia his books were later banned and removed from libraries and the book trade. Nevertheless because he was a poet of the oppressed and of the working class Åysohorsky found acclaim with the Czechoslovak interwar leftist literary and artistic scene. This book also serves as an introduction to the Lach dialect with a long dictionary and introduction to pronunciation and a note that the orthography and grammar is based on an 1898 work by Jan Loriš. Binding by František Muzika typographic design and wrappers by Ladislav Sutnar.

Leaves apparently lightly pressed some foxing and browning to the title page occasional minor foxing elsewhere small repairs to worming on upper corner and head edge of A2 but still a clean and fresh copy internally. First printed in 1685 this is a book with two very different parts the first being a rowdy and amusing poem on Yorkshire ales and the second a much more serious and important linguistic work on the Yorkshire dialect--both offered here in a binding by a prominent English craftsman. Scion of a landed county family and author of well-regarded legal treatises attorney George Meriton 1634-1711 began to create a record of the Yorkshire dialect in 1683 when he published "A York-shire Dialogue in its Pure Natural Dialect." A second edition was printed in 1685 prefaced by the poem "The Praise of York-shire Ale" and with the addition of a pioneering dialect glossary. Our third edition includes more dialogues in the York dialect. According to linguist Martyn Wakelin Meriton's work is still "of the utmost value to our knowledge of late 17th century northern phonology." In addition the work was influential in encouraging others to document regional dialects in Britain. This is an uncommonly seen item. The son of a Hanoverian immigrant Charles Lewis 1786-1836 was apprenticed to Henry Walther at 14 and obtained his freedom in 1807. He set up a shop in Scotland Yard had other addresses in the Strand before establishing himself in Duke Street St. James in 1817. By 1823 he was employing 21 journeymen a number of whom are illustrated in a watercolor of the bindery reproduced in Middleton's "A History of English Craft Bookbinding Technique" p. 349. Lewis was patronized by the great collectors of the day including William Beckford who favored him above all others. In a letter to the bookseller George Clarke written in 1831--the year our binding was done--Beckford declared: "Lewis was and is and I hope will continue to be the first artist in this line that Europe can boast of." Our tasteful binding is a fine and well-preserved example of his work. The provenance here is significant. The first known owner of our volume was the outstanding book collector George Hibbert F.R.S. 1757-1837 Member of Parliament wealthy shipowner and one of the earliest members of the Roxburghe Club elected 1816. This copy of Meriton is almost certainly lot #4914 in the "Catalogue of the Library of George Hibbert Esq. of Portland Place" London 1829 p. 267. Historian David Hancock in Oxford DNB characterized Hibbert as "a renowned collector of paintings sculpture and books." Afterwards the volume was in the collection of Yorkshire bibliophile and industrialist William Gott 1797-1863 who "built up a magnificent collection of rare books."
