1943ref. 195600Shanghai: Max Noessler & Co. 1943. The frontier of the Nazi battle for hearts and minds in Asia First edition traced in only two institutional libraries of this collection of wartime propaganda cartoons produced under the auspices of Shanghai's German Information Bureau the largest Nazi propaganda organization operating outside Germany. Headquartered in a villa at 7 Great Western Road the bureau was led by Baron Jesco von Puttkamer nicknamed the "Goebbels of the Far East" a member of the Nazi Party since 1932 and a veteran military intelligence operative. Although it operated under the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda its activities were closely co-ordinated with the German diplomatic corps including ambassador Ernst Woermann a confidant of Ribbentrop and a Standartenführer in the SS. After the German surrender Puttkamer continued the distribution of anti-Allied propaganda in Shanghai and other cities and at the 1947 Ministries Trial he and Woermann received prison sentences for war crimes. Sapajou the pen name of the Russian émigré Georgii Avksent'ievich Sapojnikoff had long been a household name in Shanghai. In the 1930s he worked for the North-China Daily News turning a satirical eye to the city's expatriate lifestyle and produced cartoons critical of the Japanese invasion of China. Adjusting to Shanghai's post-Pearl Harbor reality he attacks Churchill and other Western leaders extols the benefits of Japan's East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and puffs the collaborationist government of Wang Jingwei. Copies are held by Cornell and the San Francisco Public Library. Landscape quarto. Cartoons throughout. Introduction and captions in English Chinese and Japanese. Original illustrated boards.

1928Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary quarter leather bdg. Handsomely bound. Six raised bands to spine, the second compartment has the title, the fifth has "issue 1-104", and the sixth has ex-owner's name of the volume, "Semseddin" lettered gilt. Original end-papers of the period. Slightly age-toned on the lower pages, fading on extremities of boards, overall a very good volume. Folio. (41 x 29 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters) and Turkish with Latin letters. This folio volume consists of 104 issues of the periodical, each issue has 4 pages, which has mostly color illustrated covers as well as several b/w ones. A rare togetherness of the first 104 issues of this Turkish satirical magazine, richly illustrated with thousands of attractive illustrations and caricatures, was published in Istanbul twice a week every Wednesday and Saturday with at least four, at most eight pages, during the Letter Revolution 1928, when the transition from the Arabic alphabet to new Latin letters was ensured. The collection provides an invaluable resource, reflecting the changes in society during and after the Letter Revolution in New Turkey, 1928, placing the new Latin alphabet instead of old Arabic letters and contributing to the development of reading and writing skills of the new Turkish society, as well as "creating the basis for the rapid social evolution in the young Turkish Republic Revolution" soon after the proclamation of the Republic in 1923. The newspaper had a printing house with the same name headquartered in Bab-i Ali (The Sublime Porte of Constantinople), the place where the heart of the Ottoman press was. Burhan Cahid Morkaya left Karagöz Newspaper and founded Köroglu Newspaper in 1928 and wanted the people living in Istanbul and Anatolia to be able to read and write new letters. Indeed, during the period of its publication, Köroglu Newspaper reached the most remote corners of the New Turkish Republic with its attractive cartoons covering local and mostly international subjects. In addition to this news and cartoons, Morkaya also published Turkish reading passages with Arabic letters that were transcripted into Latin letters. Therefore, he created a great positive effect that facilitated the transition to new letters during the Turkish Alphabet Revolution. Duman 1155.

(ca. 31,5 x 23 cm). 2 S. (Fraktur). Original-Zeitung im kleinen Format, beidseitig bedruckt, mit Titel im oberen Bereich. Papier gebräunt und gefaltet, sonst wohlerhalten. Altersentsprechend guter Zustand. Sehr interessante Zeitung aus den letzten Tagen des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Aus dem Inhalt: Sowjets bei Fehrbellin geworfen / Die Schicksalsfrage / Eine Stunde mit kampfbewährten Hitlerjungen / Dem "Stalin"-Panzer überlegen / Das Bollwerk der Sechzehnjährigen / Triumph der Beharrlichkeit. Die Zeitung für die Soldaten der Wehrmacht und weitere versuchte auch in der aussichtslosesten Situation - wenige Tage vor dem Suizid Hitlers und der folgenden Kapitulation - noch zu mobilisieren. Die Rede ist hier überall von Entschlossenheit zum Kampf und von vorgeblich neuen Erfolgen in der Abwehr des Feindes. Über solche tendenziösen Meldungen geht der Text "Die Schicksalsfrage" noch hinaus. Dieser berührt sehr gut den gesteigerten Fatalismus bei Teilen der hitlertreuen deutschen Bevölkerung in den letzten Kriegsmonaten. Es heißt hier: 'Die Sirenenklänge des Agitationsjuden, wie: "es würde schon nicht so schlimm werden", wenn Deutschland die Waffen niederlegte, oder: es handele sich ja nur um einen "Krieg gegen die Nazis", verfangen schon längst nicht mehr bei dem deutschen Volk Adolf Hitlers. Auf der anderen Seite ist man ja im Gegnerlager unvorsichtig genug gewesen, besonders im letzten Jahr, die Katze vorzeitig aus dem Sack zu lassen. Sie haben ja oft und zynisch offen genug in die Welt hinausposaunt, was sie mit uns, dem deutschen Volk, im Falle eines Sieges der Alliierten - lies Weltjuden - vorhaben. Angefangen mit den hysterischen Entmannungs- und Sterilisationsplänen des Juden Kaufmann aus Neuyork, über die bolschewistischen Sibiriendeportationspläne, bis zu den Absichten, aus Deutschland eine ewige Wüste zu machen [...]." Auch ein Zeugnis des propagandistischen Eifers bis zum letzten Moment ist der kleinere Schlusstext "Triumph der Beharrlichkeit". Hier wird eingangs auf ein Zitat Friedrichs den Großen im Siebenjährigen Krieg referiert: '"Deutschland befindet sich zur Stunde in einer furchtbaren Krisis. Mir ward die Aufgabe zuteil, ganz allein für seine Freiheiten, seine Rechte und seine Religion einzustehen [...]"'. Später heißt es dann: "Was für die preußische Geschichte gegolten hat, gilt heute für die des Großdeutschen Reiches. Auch damals stand der Feind tief im Land und verwüstete Städte und Dörfer, auch jener Krieg kostete Blut und Opfer, brachte Tränen und Verzweiflung. Ueber allem aber triumphierte schließlich eine durch nichts zu erschütternde Beharrlichkeit. So und nich' anders ist es auch heute! / Daran wollen wir denken / Danach wollen wir handeln!". Auf die Propaganda-Kompanie "Eichkater" geht die Zeitung "Frontnachrichten" der Kriegsjahre zuvor zurück. Hier handelt es sich um eine Zeitung der Kompanie aus den letzten Kriegstagen. Ob diese Zeitung in weiteren Ausgaben bis Kriegsende erschien scheint fraglich. Es handelt sich nach unseren Recherchen um eine mehr als seltene Publikation der letzten Kriegstage, welche auch in Archiven so gut wie unauffindbar scheint. Äußerst seltene Archivalie und historisches Dokument aus letzten Tagen des NS-Staats!

1526ref. 000453Rare German Anti-Ottoman Propaganda Pamphlet on the Defense of Christendom Germany 1526. 12mo. One title leaf and 17 ff. 36 pp. Text in early New High German Frühneuhochdeutsch. Nineteenth-century marbled boards. Very Good. Ex-library with two small marginal stamps. Extremely rare sixteenth-century political and military propaganda tract directed against the Ottoman Empire printed at the height of Ottoman expansion into Central Europe following the Battle of Mohács 1526. No printer or place stated. According to Carl Göllner Turcica: Die europäischen Türkendrucke des XVI. Jahrhunderts only one copy is recorded dated 1526 VD 16 no. 1881 underscoring the exceptional rarity of this work. The pamphlet addresses the urgent question of how the Holy Roman Empire Deutsches Reich should organize its defense against the Ottomans. While it discusses military preparedness and strategic resistance to the Turks the core focus of the text lies in the economic and social burden of war specifically: How the costs of military defense should be financed The responsibility of the Christian Church and the Vatican Contributions expected from the German territorial states The allocation of financial obligations among different social classes within German society The work reflects contemporary anxieties surrounding the Ottoman threat and provides valuable insight into early modern fiscal-military thought confessional politics and the rhetoric of defending Christendom against Islam. It is an important source for the study of Reformation-era political discourse anti-Ottoman propaganda and the social history of warfare in sixteenth-century Europe. A remarkably scarce survival of early German political printing concerning the Ottoman question. hardcover
1641ref. 9A5BDK01U79ORome and perhaps elsewhere 1641. Contemporary Italian sheepskin parchment over flexible boards with 0.5 mm flaps on the fore-edge straight-sewn on 4 alum-tawed supports laced through the joints with a hollow back uncoloured linen ties the smooth spine with contemporary manuscript title Africa Greci Italo Greci . at the head and shelfmark CCXXI at the foot plus later paper spine labels including that with the Phillipps manuscripts number 5580. 4to 28.5 x 21 cm. Collection of manuscript transcriptions of about 30 letters and other documents written in brown ink in several hands on about 20 stocks of mostly or entirely Italian laid paper from Catholic missionaries in or writing about Africa Greece Italy Bosnia and Japan. A large collection of about thirty 18th-century transcriptions of letters and other documents from Catholic missionaries writing from or concerning the missions in Africa including Madagascar Algiers and the Barbary Coast Greece Italy including the Mekhitarist Armenian Catholic monastery on the island San Lazzaro degli Armeni in the Venetian lagoon and Japan. The exact number depends how one defines "one" document. Most of the letters transcribed here were originally written at the time of the Portuguese French and Spanish efforts to suppress the Jesuits in their territories both at home and in their colonies beginning around 1750 and leading to the banning of Jesuits from the Portuguese empire 1759 France 1764 and Spain 1767. The Pope finally dissolved the Jesuit order in 1773 but it was re-established in 1814. The documents from this period some explicitly about attempts to suppress the Jesuits were clearly transcribed when they were still new but the collection also includes transcriptions of older letters and documents.Nearly all concern the Sacra Congregatio de Propaganda Fide "the department of the pontifical administration charged with the spread of Catholicism and with the regulation of ecclesiastical affairs in non-Catholic countries" Catholic encyclopedia. While the Jesuits prior to their suppression were a highly evangelical branch of the Catholic Church the Propaganda Fide was the papal office that coordinated the missionary activities of all the orders. The letters provide good evidence both of the relations between the Catholic Church as a whole and the Jesuit Order and of the Church's efforts to continue their evangelical missionary activities at a time when the Jesuits were no longer able to lead them.The manuscript belonged to Frederick North 1766-1827 5th Earl of Guilford and was bought for Sir Thomas Phillipps 1792-1872 at the 1830 Guilford sale. It was sold in the 1919 Phillipps sale. In very good condition with a few documents showing minor foxing or small stains but most leaves fine. The binding is somewhat rubbed most of the sewing supports have broken at the joints and the cover has come loose from the bookblock at the inside of the front hinge but the sewing and case remain structurally sound. Many of the 30 documents no doubt transcribe originals that have since been lost so the present collection forms an important source for the history of Catholic missionary work in the period for information about the regions where they operated and for the relations of the Church as a whole with the Jesuits.l Evans Catalogue . manuscripts .
