1843Very Good French Original handsome leather bindings. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In French and Ottoman script. 4 volumes set: ([vi], [2], 784, 125 p., [vi], 1372 p.; [xxx], [2], 1097 p., [vi], 1320 p.). Slight foxing on pages, faded on boards, otherwise a very good set. Ex-libris of Izzet Gündag Kayaoglu. First edition of the complete set of this early dictionary from French to Turkish and from Turkish to French, published in Paris, in London Oriental Translations Committee Printer. Bianchi visited Istanbul at the beginning of the 19th century and prepared dictionary and phrasebooks in Turkish after he had returned to his country. One of his most significant works occurs to be this dictionary. What makes this dictionary noteworthy among other his works is the fact that Turkish words are written together in both Arabic and Latin characters. Turkish words with Arabic letters are written as to stereotyped pronunciation in the work. Therefore, they do not indicate the changes in the language. Bianchi reflects the pronunciation of writing in Turkish letters with Latin characters; and thus, the differences between spelling and pronunciation are highlighted. Thomas-Xavier de Bianchi (1783-1864), born in Paris on June 25, 1783, was the younger brother of the Austrian Field Marshal de Bianchi, Duke of Casalanza. He studied at the Central School of the department of Seine-et-Marne and followed, in Paris, oriental language courses at the College de France and at the Imperial Library under Sylvestre de Sacy. In 1807, he was appointed a pupil at the French school of young people of language in Constantinople, then directed by the scholar Ducaurroy and completed his improvement in Arabic, Persian and Turkish. Sent to Izmir in 1811, he was second there, and then the first dragoman of the Consulate General, and was noted for his dedication during the plague epidemic of 1812. In 1816, he was appointed assistant to the King's secretary-interpreters in Paris and was in charge to accompany the Persian envoy to Louis XVIII in 1819. In 1829, he was sent on a mission to the last day of Algiers, Hussein-pasha. The following year, France intervened in Algeria. He was appointed secretary-interpreter in the title and served as professor of Turkish at the School of Oriental Languages until 1842. After his retirement, he devoted himself to lexicographical and bibliographical work. He was an officer of the Legion of Honor, decorated with the Nichan-Iftikhar, as a member of the Imperial Academy of Constantinople.

AHMED AL-QIRIMI (17th century Turkish and Islamic geographer, cartographer).MareMagnum

[MAP of VENETIAN BAY and ALGERIAN SHORES from IMPORTANT TURKISH INCUNABULA / CIHANNUMA] Isbu sahifede Venedik Körfezi ve müstemil oldugu Cezayir ve sevâhilinde vuk'u memâlik ve bilâde desm ü tersim olunmusdur. [Published by Ibrahim Müteferrika, (1674-1745)].

1730Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original b/w map from Kitab-i Cihannuma which is one of the most important Turkish incunabula. Oblong large 4to. (31 x 37 cm). In Ottoman script. It shows Venice and Venetian Bay and Algerian shores at North Africa (Maghrib). Toponyms are in Turkish with Arabic letters. Written directions (Simal, Cenûb, Sark and Garb) on corners of the map, and decorative compass on Mediterranean Sea. Scale can be seen at left upper side (El-mikyas: Mil-i Islâmiyân Mil-i Frençe, and Mil-i Italiya]. It's one of the thirteen maps and plates from the book of Cihannuma. The story of Cihannuma can be considered as an effort to keep up with the speed that knowledge spread around the world at a time when literacy was highly limited. Kâtip Çelebi began to rewrite Cihannuma in 1654. During the next six years, he added to his books the knowledge he gained from the books he read. Kâtip Çelebi was vastly influenced by nonreligious positive knowledge, especially by the Atlas and later the Atlas Minor of Gerardus Mercator. He had the book translated from Latin to Turkish by a French recruit andenriched his own book with the new information. He brought together in Cihannuma the knowledge of geography and astronomy existing in Western sources (1654). Cihannüma has 13 charts and 27 maps. Mercator's maps are distinguished by their distinct properties. However, there are such maps which depict Istanbul, Anatolia, the Caucasus and the Orient that have to have been borrowed from other sources and there are those with relatively less detail that might have been prepared by Muslim geographers. Sources cite Ahmed El Kirimî (Ahmed the Crimean) and Galatali Migirdich as mapmakers for Cihannüma. Their names are placed on the maps. Another name that is mentioned is Tophaneli Ibrahim. Researchers agree on the fact that he is Ibrahim Müteferrika. Perhaps he wished to hasten the printing of the book. Perhaps he enjoyed making this contribution to a book he half owned. There is one map in Cihannüma which definitely does not belong to Mercator. Nor is there any information that it was originally charted by Müteferrika's team. Historians state that the 'invertedness' can be found in other maps made by Muslim cartographers. Since it is amap of Turkey, the difference can easily be perceived. The Mediterranean coasts of Turkey are at the top of the map while the Black Sea coasts are at the bottom. The compass on the map correctly indicates the North. The map seems to be inverted but it is not considered scientifically wrong to draw maps in this fashion...". (Source: Boyut; Kitab-i Cihannuma). Extremely rare.

[Craveri Giovanni Gaspare]MareMagnum

Guida de' Forestieri per la Real Città di Torino, in cui si dà notizia delle cose più notabili di questa Città, e suoi Contorni; cioè di Chiese, Conventi, Monasteri, e Luoghi pii; de'Magistrati, Palazzi, Piazze ed altre Notizie generali, e particolari

1753In-8° antico (173x120mm), pp. (6), 191, (1), cartonatura coeva alla rustica con titolo manoscritto in antico al dorso. 7 tavole ripiegate f.t. disegnate e incise su rame da Beltramo Antonio Re raffiguranti, nell'ordine, una pianta generale di Torino, il Duomo, il Palazzo Reale, Palazzo Madama, Palazzo Carignano, l'antica Torre Civica, il Palazzo di Città e la piazza antistante (per una più dettagliata descrizione delle singole piante rimandiamo alla Peyrot). Errata finale. Qualche leggera fioritura. Bellissimo esemplare. Prima edizione e seconda tiratura della "prima guida stampata, che si conosca, della città di Torino" (Peyrot). La guida fu redatta in occasione delle celebrazioni del terzo centenario del Miracolo del SS. Sacramento, in previsione del grande concorso di forestieri che sarebbe affluito in città. Nel medesimo anno furono fatte due tirature, di cui la prima contiene 9 tavole, mentre la seconda, quella del nostro esemplare, ne reca 7 (non sono presenti il Collegio dei Nobili e il Palazzo del Seminario) e presenta alcune lievi difformità testuali. Nelle prime pagine della guida l'autore sottolinea la necessità di tale opera, in particolare in quegli anni in cui Torino era "Metropoli del Regno", residenza del Sovrano e, quindi, meta di molti "Nobili Forestieri". La guida è pensata come un viatico di viaggio che conduce il visitatore nei differenti luoghi che si incontrano in un ideale percorso a partire dalla Cattedrale. Inoltre, si descrive Torino nei suoi contorni, ripartendo lo scritto in quattro giornate, come le quattro Porte della Citta' che si aprono verso le "delizie" dei sovrani e le altre particolarita' che si possono scorgere nelle zone limitrofe alla citta'. Al termine dell'opera sono posti ampi indici tematici. Peyrot, Torino nei Secoli, I, 181. Collezione Simeom, G 1. Cicognara, 4345. Schlosser, 552. Manca al Lozzi e al Manno. Italiano

The 10th edition of 1955 and its 1957 supplement were made redundant with the publication of the 11th edition in 1967. Each subsequent edition of the pilot supersedes the last which have appeared infrequently depending on newly available information from the mid-19th century until the present day.The front paste-down and recto of the first free endpaper contain a "caution" notice and room for the notation of "supplements and annual summaries of notices to mariners relating to this book" the first two pages are printed on red-pink paper.

1824rif. LCPCVOY-0033(Un excéptionnel guide de Moscou en édition originale. Un séduisant exemplaire tel que paru, à toutes marges, non rogné et en très grande partie non coupé) LE COINTE DE LAVEAU Georges. "GUIDE DU VOYAGEUR A MOSCOU, CONTENANT CE QUE CETTE CAPITALE OFFRE DE CURIEUX ET D'INTERESSANT... ET SUIVI D'UN ITINERAIRE DES PRINCIPALES ROUTES DE LA RUSSIE". 1824, Moscou, A. Semen. 1 volume in-8° (238x144 mm) (dimensions pages 238x153 mm) (2) ff. (faux-titre et titre), 1 frontispice gravé, (1) f. (dédicace), VI pp. (avertissement), pp. 11 à 459 (y compris la table des chapitres et des matières), (1) p. (errata), 6 tableaux dépliants et 5 in texto, 7 planches lithographiées h.t. ((2) ff., (7) ff., 2-12(8), (1) f. ajouté au f. 12(8), 13-26(8), 27-29(4), 30(8), (1) f.) Brochure beige imprimée originale. Exemplaire conservé dans une boîte de plexiglass. Edition Originale, très rare, du premier guide de Moscou. Quelques déchirures et un petit manque de papier dans la partie supériure du dos. Quelques petites brunissures éparses au début et en fin de l'ouvrage. Légères traces de poussière dans les marges extérieures. Mais superbe exemplaire tel que paru, à toutes marges, non rogné et avec de nombreux cahiers non coupés. Conservé dans sa brochure beige imprimée originale. Très curieuse guide de Moscou, avec la description de son histoire, de ses monuments et de ses institutions civiles et politiques. L'auteur précise que "malgré les relations nombreuses que Moscou entretient avec tous les états d'Europe... cette ville qui se trouve maintenant sur une multitude d'itinéraires, n'est cependant pas encore connue sous ses véritables rapports. Des erreurs qui ont été répétées par des voyageurs qui la visitèrent dans les premiers tems de son origine, se sont perpetuées jusquìà nos jours ; et il n'est pas rare de trouver à son sujet, dans les géographes, de fausses notions encore empreintes de la grossièreté des siècles dans lesquels elles ont été puisées". Nombreuses sont les pages dédiées aux collections particulières d'oeuvres d'art, de peinture et de livres précieux. Une Bible de Gutemberg, par exemple, est mentionnée dans les collections du Prince Michel Pétrovich Gallitzin. Le dernier chapitre du livre s'occupe des postes et des diligences et offre des tableaux avec tous les itinéraires et les correspondances de Moscou vers les principales villes de la Russie et vers les frontières du pays. L'auteur offre des conseils aux voyageurs en précisant que la diligence "n'attend pas le voyageur qui tarde, et qui perd sa place s'il ne parvient pas à rejoindre à la première poste..." et que le bagage "doit être de nature à se laisser facilement emballer et ne doit pas être d'un poids au dessus de 20 livres...".
