1920Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript on freemasonry. 28x21 cm. In Ottoman script (Turkish with Arabic letters). 3 p. Chipped on margins, folded. Otherwise a very good manuscript. Written on a paper watermarked "Labor: Extra Strong Bank". It includes "How should a Mason be and act?", it gives some hints on the last Ottoman Freemasonry. The history of Freemasonry in Turkey stretches back to the 18th century under Ottoman imperial rule. The first lodge in Turkey was probably established around 1721 in Istanbul by Levantines. Although Freemasonry in Turkey can be traced into the 18th century, for much of that time it was limited to lodges under the jurisdiction of foreign grand lodges, and there was no independent Turkish Grand Lodge. This changed in 1856 when the first Turkish Grand Lodge was established. Sultan Murad V was a member of the lodge, becoming the first and only Ottoman sultan to join. This first Grand Lodge was banned in 1876 by Murad's successor Sultan Abdulhamit Han. The Grand Lodge came back in 1909 in Istanbul under a new administration. Because the Grand Lodge was used to operate in secret, it was closed again in 1922, only to be opened in the year 1925 again. In 1935 the Grand Lodge has closed again. As a result of the repeated closures, the former Grand Lodge and its members were reluctant to support Kemal Atatürk's reformist policies. (Source: Wikipedia). No information about Dr. Nami.

1914rif. SHEL114Tuxedo New York 1914: n.p. 1914. Soft cover. Very Good. Not a book. Original document. 9 1/2" x 14" in original frame & under glass. Sealed by a Notary Public in Tuxedo Orange County New York. Initially it appears to be related to a young women's society or club but there is more to it that meets the eye. It has the notary seal with a ribbon that partially reads "R GIRLS" over it & is signed in ink by 29 people 4 of whom are the "Managing Committee" and two of whom are signed under the ribbon. All but the two names under the ribbon have small orange seals beside them. Typed in light print and with three corrections the document reads "It is here-by agreed that we the undersigned on the day and date here-in after mentioned will be one of the party going to Monroe starting from Tuxedo at seven oclock sic in the afternoon on the Nineteenth day of January One Thousand nine hundred and four." Etc. etc. Below the seal & above the four signatures of the managing committee is written in red ink "Red Lemonade Tablets to be used will be strictly in accordance with the formula of the I. D. G. T. The frame is backed with narrow slats upon which there is a label with the following written in ink: "Presented to the "Mystic Seven" January 26th - 1904 by the "oudinae Four". Therein lies a clue and a mystery. There is on the internet information about the "Mystical Seven". The website includes a long essay on the subject and cites a 1907 encyclopedia entry re the society "which is now thought to be dead was in some respects one of the most remarkable and most ambitious college societies in the country" with its roots in the history of Freemasonry in the country. The website gives the history of the "Mystical Seven" which lately continued to exist at Wesleyan. There are further and extensive connections to the history of Freemasonry in the United States to Wesleyan University Methodism & much more. Perhaps the reference to "the Mystic Seven" is only a kind of knock-off from the real thing but the reference is nonetheless intriguing. The names on this document include the names of both men and women although almost of the signatures are first two initials and then last names. This is an unusual document to say the least and undoubtedly a rare piece. n.p. unknown
