1988New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Large roy. 8vo. (25 x 18 cm). In English. [xiii], [3], 752 p. The lingua Franca in the Levant. Turkish nautical terms of Italian and Greek origin. The present study on the Lingua Franca in the Levant has a double purpose: the interpretation of a certain (semantically and historically well-defined) area of the Turkish vocabulary, and the demonstration, in the form of brief etymological sketches, of the linguistic-cultural unity of the Mediterranean. The study takes as its starting point the Western and Greek nautical elements in Turkish; these are illustrated as fully as possible. The end point is the Mediterranean distribution and history of each of the terms. In the gathering of the non-Turkish material the writers have paid particular attention to the Arabic, Dalmatian, and Greek cognates of the words under discussion, in order to present a more detailed picture of the Eastern (and Southern) Mediterranean than has been possible heretofore. The double orientation, at once Turkish and Mediterranean, of the study is reflected, in the composition of the group of workers and in the method followed in the elaboration of the study. Andreas Tietze, the Turkologist, collected nautical terms used in Turkish that were not, in his opinion, of Turkish origin; from these, Renée Kahane drew up a list of the terms that were, in her opinion, Italian or Greek in origin; for each term on this list Tietze gathered as abundant Turkish technical and literary records as possible; Henry Kahane and Renée Kahane outlined briefly the history of each term in the Mediterranean, trying (often in vain) to establish its ultimate origin and sketching its distribution throughout the Mediterranean, from Portugal to Greece, with Tietze adding the corresponding Arabic material...

2009New English Paperback. 4to. (28 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 229 p., color and b/w ills. The logbook of the Ottoman navy: Ships, legends, sailors.= Osmanli donanmasinin seyir defteri: Gemiler, efsaneler, denizciler. Ottoman Principality was introduced to the dark sea of the Middle Ages early in the 14 th century. The battles with the Venetians and the Genoese, conquests in Rumelia, and the establishment of the first shipyards all occurred during this period. As the conquest of Istanbul marked the end of the period of transition from Principality to Empire, the foundations of a strong navy that would unite the Mediterranean and the Black Sea over a political geography were laid. The power of the corsairs diminished by the end of the Renaissance; Barbaros Hayreddîn Pasha personified the golden age of Ottoman sea power. The discovery of the New World had instigated a revolution in the maritime world. Traditional Venetian galleys gave way to Spanish galleons and manpower was replaced by wind power. The Ottoman navy assumed a pioneering role in the process of modernization that extended from the 18 th to the 20 th century. Naval education in the Western sense, the implementation of new technologies and the organization of a modern fleet were all consequences of this period. Advancing from the galley to the battlecruiser, Ottoman sea power had the final say in the affairs of the Empire. "The Logbook of the Ottoman Navy: Ships, Legends, Sailors" exhibition intertwines three distinct, yet integrated mythologies of the sea. The imprint of the ships in Ottoman seafaring history, the battles they were engaged in and the heroes who became legendary in these battles assume their places on the stage of civilization in all their historic magnitude. At the center of the construct lies the extraordinary adventure of the transition from traditional to modern seafaring methods. The quest for power, the demolished thrones and man's identification of his fate with the sea is perhaps the oldest story behind this adventure. The cornerstones of a long history that extends from the legacy of a 16 th century Ottoman galley to the battlecruiser, Yavuz, is brought to light through the memories of seamen.

1942386 pages. Bibliography. "Written as the result of several years' extensive and intensive study of the role of the Federal Government in establishing labor and safety standards in the maritime industry. The matters dealt with extend over a period of about 150 years... The present war, with its extraordinary need for an efficient merchant marine, and the recent transfer of the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation from the Department of Commerce to the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard... clearly demonstrates the importance of Federal control over labor and safety standards in the merchant marine during the national emergency. Chapters include: Seamen's Need for Protection; Recruitment of Personnel, and Training Facilities for Seamen; Collective Bargaining and Seamen's Organization; Seamen's Right to Strike, and Settling Labor Disputes; Regulation of Seamen's Working and Living Conditions at Sea; Regulation for Seamen's Working and Living Conditions in Port; Safety of Life and Property at Sea; Inspection and Enforcement of Legal Standards; Past Achievements and Future Problems; Specific Conclusions; Appendices of statistics such as development of the American Merchant Marine as to Tonnage and Foreign Trade from 1789 to 1940, Nationality of Seamen, Strikes in Water Transportation, Average Seaman Wages, Casualties of the American Merchant Marine, and more. Top corner of front free endpaper neatly clipped. Prior owner's details neatly in pencil upon front free endpaper else unmarked. Notary Public's blind stamp atop half-title page. Average wear.

réf. 120563London, H. Hughes 1866, 220x145mm, III - 182pages, editor's binding. Excellent original publisher’s binding. Full green percaline with sharp cold-stamped decorations on both covers. The spine is blank as issued. The gilt work on the top cover - featuring the author, title, publisher, and a distinctive diagram of a spherical projection - remains bright and crisp.

The presence of only very slight foxing, which is more pronounced strictly on the endpapers, is exceptional for a technical manual intended for practical use at sea.
