1846Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Paperback. Chipped on margins. Some owner notes. Otherwise a good copy. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 18 cm). In Ottoman script. 32 p. This rare book includes the royal travel of Sultan Abdülmecid in 1262 AH [1846 AD] to Roumelia. From Edirne, Abdülmecid proceeded to Eski Zagra (Stara Zagora), Kizanlik (Kazanluk), Gabrova (Gabrovo), Tirnova (Turnovo), Rusçuk (Ruse), Silistre (Silistra), and Varna. The route of the 1846 tour followed closely, except in reverse order, Mahmud II's tour of 1837. According to witness accounts, along the way, the sultan was greeted everywhere with poetic recitations and songs of praise and prayer, both in Ottoman and Bulgarian. The pride of place among welcoming parties invariably fell on students, of all creeds, most clad in white uniforms, some in solemn church-going attire, with flowers and green branches in their hands. At every stop, ceremonial cannon salvos were fired during the day and elaborate firework illuminations were performed at night. In the town of Kizanlik, known then as now for the most fragrant roses and the best rose oil, the sultan's visit coincided, possibly by design, with the rose harvesting season. So the locals sprinkled rose water and poured rose oil before the sultan's cavalcade. According to Hristo Stambolski, in the three days of the sultan's stay in town, no rose harvesting was done so that the whole area would be exquisitely scented in his honor. For his part, the sultan had doctors vaccinate all children against smallpox in public before sending each one off with a small gift of money. Even people with rare diseases were, on occasion, summoned to the sultan's presence so his doctors could cure them. The sublime visit caused the locals, who were unaccustomed to direct contact with the center of power, quite a stir. The most detailed account, albeit from a hostile source, relates the sultan's visit to Rusçuk, which, at four days, may have also been the longest. According to Nayden Gerov, the greeting ceremonies proceeded on a communal basis, with the Jews being placed closest to the town walls, next to them the Armenians, then the Bulgarians, and finally, the Muslims, situated the farthest from town, yet being the first to see and welcome the sultan. As the sultan approached, each group of youngsters would in turn sing for him, everyone else bowing profusely. Based on Gerov's description, it seems that Abdülmecid was dressed in a slightly more luxurious fashion than during state ceremonies in Istanbul. ((Source: Sultan Abdülmecid's Tour of Rumelia and the Trope of Love by Stephanov). The sultan began to travel by the way of the gate of Yedikule in Istanbul in May 6, 1846. He followed the way of Ayastefanos, Silivri, Çorlu, Burgaz, Edirne, Zagra-i Atik, Kizanli, Trnova, Rusçuk, Silistre, Rusçuk, Shumnu, and Varna and came back to Istanbul by way of the sea on June 14, 1846. During this travel, the Sultan listened to people's problems and ordered the authorities to be solved with those problems. He received successful military and administrative authorities in settlements on the way of travel and rewarded them. He also received the governors of Serbia, Eflak and Bogdan, and the representatives of foreign states. With this travel, the Sultan aimed to strengthen the connection to the center of people and administrators in provinces. Özege 17910. First Edition.

1837Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary quarter leather binding with gilt decorations without title lettering. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). Seven different books and tractates (nine works) in one volume: (235, [1] p., 24 p., 143 p., 80 p., [6], 71 p., 84 p., 22 p.). Two leaves are torn from the hinge in the first book but not missing, one tractate is trimmed by margins, the board's extremities are worn, overall a good volume including multiple books. First editions (except for one) of these exceedingly rare poetic tractates collected together contemporarily in one handsome volume, reflecting early Ottoman poetic pleasure, including thematic mystic and erotic poetry mostly printed in the early 19th century. This volume includes the multiple works of Enderunlu Fazil and Sünbülzâde Vehbi, which are the earliest erotic and homosexual poems that seem to have been concealed by adding Keçecizâde's works to the beginning and the end of the volume. "Defter-i ask" [i.e. The book of love] by Fazil, in which he tells about his own romances, is a masnavi of 438 couplets. It begins with a description of divine love and tells the story of the poet's romances, which he fell into only to regret and repent afterward. "Hubannâme" [i.e. The book of beautiful young men] consists of 796 couplets with various titles and it has a mystical analysis of beauty in the first chapter. After an introduction that gives geographical information that may be considered novel for its period, it describes the beauties of male bodies of many countries from India to America. This style is unique and the first in Turkish / Ottoman literature. In the work titled "Zenannâme" [i.e. The book of women], which is a masnavi of 1101 couplets, women of various nations are described. The poet indicated in the introduction of his work that he does not want to talk about women, and that he has no orientation towards women. Enderunlu Fazil was an Ottoman poet who depicted the beauty of men from various lands of the Ottoman Empire. He achieved fame through his erotic works, which were published posthumously. Among his most famous works is The Book of Women, which was banned in the Ottoman Empire. The book describes the advantages and disadvantages of women from different nations. Fazil was born in Acre into an Arab family originally of Medina. He spent his early years in Safed in Ottoman Palestine. His grandfather Zahir al-Umar and father Ali Tâhir were both executed (in 1775 and 1776, respectively ) for participating in a rebellion. After his father's death, Fazil moved to Istanbul. There, he was admitted to the Enderun palace school (thus taking on the name Enderuni or Enderûnlu), but was expelled in 1783 as a result of his love affairs with other men there. In 1799, he was exiled to Rhodes because of his satirical writings and was only allowed to return to Istanbul after becoming blind. He spent the rest of his life there, ill and bedridden.
