1940réf. ABC_484251940. Contemporary embossed brown calf with flowers on the front and back board and an aluminium view of David's Tower and Jerusalem's old city wall embedded in the front board. Oblong album 30 x 20 cm. With 128 gelatin silver prints most ca. 6.5 x 9.5 cm. Beautiful album with 128 photographs of Egypt and Palestine present day Israel and the West Bank during the British Mandate. It was likely compiled by a British soldier who was stationed in the Middle East during the 1940s. Some of the photographs are numbered in the negative and may have been made by important photographers active in the area at the time like G. Eric Matson and his wife Edith the founders of the Matson Photo Service. The images show Cairo and various locations in Palestine including Jerusalem Bethlehem Nazareth Tiberias Sea of Galilee Nathanya Tel Aviv the Jordan river Haifa Beirut and the Dead Sea. Other than important locations like churches and gates the photographs also show many locals including for example street barbers in Cairo shepherds and farmers in Palestine and beautifully dressed women in Haifa. In the back of the work a few dried leaves from local plants have been mounted namely orange lemon fig eucalyptus grapevine and mulberry. The eucalyptus leaf still retains some of its scent.The edges and vorners of the boards are somewhat scuffed with some loss of material at the head and foot of the spine and around the edges of the embedded aluminium plate. The photographs mounted on the inside of the front board are slightly stained the fig leaf mounted on one of the final pages is damaged and the cyprus leaf is missing. Otherwise in good condition. unknown

Evliya Çelebi was son of the chief court jeweler, he was educated in a madrasah (Islamic college) and a Qur?an school in Constantinople; and, excelling as a Qur'ân reciter, he was shown favour by the reigning sultan, Murad IV. Entering the Ottoman palace school, he developed skills in Arabic, calligraphy, and music. Under the patronage of the court he began the journeys that took him from Belgrade to Baghdad and from Crimea to Cairo, sometimes as an official representative of the government and sometimes on his own. The result of these travels was his masterwork, the Seyahatname (1898-1939; 'Book of Travels'). This work is also referred to as the Tarih-i seyyah ('Chronicle of a Traveler'). Evliya possessed a vivid imagination, occasionally mixing fact and fantasy; he described places he could not possibly have visited. Noted for his fascinating anecdotes and charming style, he wrote about the ethnography, history, and geography of the Ottoman Empire and neighbouring lands and about the inner workings of the Ottoman government during the 17th century. (Source: Britannica). Currently there is no English translation of the entire Seyahatname, although there are translations of various parts. The longest single English translation was published in 1834 by Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall, an Austrian orientalist: it may be found under the name "Evliya Efendi." Von Hammer-Purgstall's work covers the first two volumes (Istanbul and Anatolia) but its language is antiquated. Other translations include Erich Prokosch's nearly complete translation into German of the tenth volume, the 2004 introductory work entitled The World of Evliya Çelebi: An Ottoman Mentality written by University of Chicago professor Robert Dankoff, and Dankoff and Sooyong Kim's 2010 translation of select excerpts of the ten volumes, An Ottoman Traveller: Selections from the Book of Travels of Evliya Çelebi. Evliya is noted for having collected specimens of the languages in each region he traveled in. There are some 30 Turkic dialects and languages cataloged in the Seyâhatnâme. Çelebi notes the similarities between several words from the German and Persian, though he denies any common Indo-European heritage. The Seyâhatnâme also contains the first transcriptions of many languages of the Caucasus and Tsakonian, and the only extant specimens of written Ubykh outside the linguistic literature.

1929réf. 383001929. JUDAICA CHANCELLOR John Herbert. Minshar ""ManifestoEmergency Decree of the British High Commissioner Concerning the 1929 Riots"". Jerusalem: Press of the Greek Monastery September 4 1929. Broadside 17 by 20 inches p. 1; framed. $5500.Emergency decree in Hebrew issued by the British High Commissioner for Palestine announcing special power to be given to the Courts in conducting trials for those arrested for violent conduct during the 1929 Arab riots over Jewish prayer at the Western Wall.On August 23 1929 following a ten-month build-up of tension over the disputed rights of Jews to pray at the Western Wall an Arab mob attempted to attack Jews in Jerusalem. The outbreak of violence spread to other parts of the country and on the following day Arabs murdered some 70 Jews in Hebron. In the week of bloody violence that ensued there were attacks in Tel Aviv Haifa and 18 Jews were killed by an Arab mob in Safed. Before the week had passed large detachments of British troops were brought in arresting numerous Jews and Arabs and finally restoring order to the country. In the disturbances 133 Jews were killed and 339 wounded mainly in Jerusalem and Hebron; Arab casualties chiefly from police action were 116 killed and 232 wounded.In this Emergency Decree the British High Commissioner for Palestine Sir John Herbert Chancellor announced that special powers were to be given to the Courts in conducting the trials of those arrested the aim being to ensure a fair trial and to determine whether the attacks were spontaneous or premeditated. He also announced the formation of a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry to be headed by Sir Walter Shaw to inquire into the immediate causes of the riots. Finally he concludes the incidents will not result in a change of British policy with regard to Palestine as laid down in the 1917 Balfour Declaration namely to favor the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. Despite Sir John's final assurance in this Emergency Decree the Shaw Commission decided the cause of the riots had been Arab feelings of animosity consequent upon the disappointment in their national aspirations and fear for their future. Thus the Commission proposed restriction of Jewish migration to Palestine and restrictions on the purchase of land by Jews. As a result in October 1929 the Colonial Secretary Lord Passfield issued a ""White Paper"" which further whittled down the meaning of the Balfour Declaration and the Mandate and foreshadowed fresh restrictions on Jewish immigration and settlement in Palestine Encyclopaedia Judaica.

1928"Whatever place its author may ultimately occupy in future histories of England, one thing is certain, that in the history of the Jewish people the name of Balfour will enjoy unchallenged immortality, evoking comparison with that of Cyrus, for the issue of the Balfour Declaration marked the opening of a new epoch in the annals of Jewry which will be recognised as such even in the remotest centuries to come. In this little book have been gathered together all the utterances of Lord Balfour on the interpretation and implications of his Declaration, on its political aspects and its practical realisation, made during the last ten years." - Preface.

Bell'esemplare in prima edizione di questa raccolta di opere di Mayer. L'artista italiano Luigi Mayer venne incaricato da Sir Robert Ainslie di realizzare dipinti ed incisioni delle località dell'Impero Ottomano. Dal suo soggiorno a Costantinopoli in qualità di ambasciatore Sir Robert portò diversi disegni originali che servirono a Mayer per queste incisioni spettacolari ed esotiche della Palestina dell'Egitto e di Costantinopoli. Nato in Germania, Luigi Mayer studiò a Roma presso la bottega di Piranesi . Nel 1792 Mayer fu assunto quale assistente artistico di un giovane inglese (Sir Ainsle) che stava compiendo un tour in Oriente. Il 20 settembre 1775 Ainslie fu designato quale successore di John Murray come ambasciatore britannico alla Porta Ottomana e lo stesso giorno fu nominato Pari d'Inghilterra. Nel maggio del 1776 partì alla volta di Costantinopoli. Il nuovo sultano 'Abd-ul-hamid, che succedette nel 1774, auspicava dei rapporti più stretti con l'Inghilterra, sia commerciali che politici ed instaurò con Ainslie un'ottima amicizia che gli permise di adattarsi felicemente alla vita di Costantinopoli affezionandosi ai costumi della popolazione. .
