Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original color manuscript calendar prepared on a fine special paper with 'ahar'. 36x22,5 cm. In Ottoman script (Turkish with Arabic letters). 2 p. Several ink stains on paper, chipped on extremities. A very good manuscript. It shows astronomic situations, locations of planets and stars, and climates in 1324 [AD 1908]. It starts with high praise to Sultan Abdülhamid II with an old style of color moon & crescent icon. Sealed by Mehmed Pasazâde A. Ihsan. On the verso of paper, can be seen detailed calendar and details of 'ruzname'. Written on 'printed' down of the paper, probably it's prepared for the printing, therefore it's understood that Ihsan and Refet were thinking to print this 'taqwim'. Prepared in the year of the Second Constitutional Regime (II. Mesrutiyet) which was Abdul Hamid II's fall came as a result of the 1908 Young Turk Revolution, and the Young Turks put the 1876 Constitution back into effect. It seems, it's prepared before fall of the Sultan, and for the present to the Sultan. The Second Constitutional Period spanned from 1908 until after World War I when the Ottoman Empire was dissolved. "The starting year of the Hijrî calendar (al-taqwim al-hijri), the fundamental Islamic lunar calendar still in use among Muslims until today, is 622 CE. Its beginning corresponds to the Hijra or emigration of Prophet Muhammed and his followers from Mecca to Medina. It is based on the revolution of the moon around the Earth and consists of twelve months of 29 or 30 days: Muharram (30), Safar (29), Rabî' al-awwal (30), Rabi' al-thani (29), Jumâda al-awwal (30), Jumâda al-thani (29), Rajab (30), Sha'ban (29), Ramadhan (30), Shawwal (29), Dhul-'l-qi'da (30) and Dhul-hijja (29 or 30). The lunar year consists of 354 days, which is 11 days less than the solar year, and every 33 years it falls one year behind the Gregorian calendar. The discrepancy with the solar year, which follows the seasons, meant that Muslim countries also used the solar calendar, and some calendars drawn up by astronomers include the dates according to the European Gregorian calendar named after Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. Ottoman Turkey used both the Islamic lunar calendar and a solar calendar known as the Rumî or Roman calendar, which was based on the Julian calendar introduced since the times of Julius Caesar in 46 BC. The Roman calendar was inherited from the Byzantines and was used by the Ottomans for the taxation of agricultural revenues. The year according to the Rumî or Julian calendar began on 1 March, and the Ottomans took the starting year to be that of the Hijra. To make up for the gain of 11 days made by the solar Rumî calendar over the Islamic calendar, a leap year was deducted from the Rumî calendar every 33 years. A rûzname is a set of tables giving the first days of the months in both the Islamic and Rumî calendars, the date on which the sun enters each sign of the zodiac, and eclipses of the sun and moon. Also known as takvîm-i dâimî (perpetual calendar) or takvîm-i devr-i dâim (calendar of perpetual motion), the ruzname were permanently valid whatever the year. There is no evidence that such calendars were produced in pre-Ottoman times, and they may, therefore, be regarded as a type unique to Ottoman Turkey.".

English translation of map title: [The Complete Map of the Seven Islands of Izu with a Map of the Eighty Uninhabited Islands.] Large woodcut watercoloured map titled to illustrate the remote and mostly uninhabited Nanpo and Ogasawara archipelagos, lying some 1000 kilometers south of Tokyo, of the important and banned map produce jointly by scholar and official Tojo Kindai and Abe Rekisai, from a limited run of 500 maps printed in 1848, for private distribution, not for sale to the public owing to the Tempo reform which oppressed any interest in subject matters concerning Western interests (Hawaiians and westerners were inhabiting the island). Kindai was imprisoned and subsequently exiled from Edo for the publication of the map; Rekisai was a promoter of Japanese settlement of the Bonin islands and it appears that he may have been spared from persecution. Folded and mounted to two striped cardstock boards at two ends for neat storage, also giving it the appearance of a typical Japanese book for concealing the content. Title, legend, placenames, and detailed descriptions, are all in Japanese. Map measures approximately 105 x 76 cm, folding into sleeve for safe storage at approximately 25 x 18 cm. Some age-toning, title label to boards worn, reinforced to one fold, otherwise in very good condition, beautifully preserved, with lovely colour accents, extensive detail, and retianing a strong impression. A rare surviving woodcut map that was banned by the shogunate. Tojo Kindai (1795-1878) was a Confucian scholar, calligrapher and cartographer active in Edo, where he was born, during the mid-nineteenth century. He studied under Ota Kinjo and Kameda Pengsai, and later served the Fukushima Daimyo. His aim with the production of this map was to illustrate the strategic importance of the Bonin islands, but by doing so, revealed secret information, essentially information about Western civilians and their successful agragarian activites on the islands. Knowledge of western ways was strictly prohibited. He was gaoled for seven months, then exiled from Edo for eight years after producing the map, which centered on the coveted southern islands that would become Japan's first overseas colony only fourteen years later (still during his lifetime). Ironically, criminals in Edo were often confined on Hachijojima island (in which he clearly took interest) or Miyakejima of the nearby Izu island group, especially political prisoners such as Kindai would have been labeled. Abe Rekisai (1805-1870), also known as Abe Yoshito, Abe Tomonoshin, and Hashukuen, born in the Toshima District of Edo, was a Japanese botanist, herbalist and author who published many works, with subjects on horticulture, botany, and even social conflict resolution. In 1856 he published geographic descriptions of Hokkaido where Abe Sho¯nin, his ancestor, twice visited to collect medicinal plants, commissioned by the Shogunate government (Bakufu). A most fascinating map produced twenty years before Japan's Tokugawa (Edo) shogunate had claimed the Nanpo and Ogasawara archipelagos lying some 1000 kilometers south of Tokyo in 1862, the islands are named, and communication routes between them are clearly indicated. Mountain ranges are also shown, both on and around the islands. It was the height of the Tempo reform of 1841-1843 when Kindai first published the map, a highly risky endeavour with the economic and political reform that dealt a sweeping blow to the publishing industry. Resolute and unflappable, Kindai continued to seek out more information on the subject, and again printed a small number of his map, slightly revised, in 1848. It too, was banned by the shogunate, who undoubtedly gathered and destroyed all copies they could find, a common practice of the day, which yet again inspired and necessitated scholars to become clandestine transcribers of important works. For his map, now produced twice and deemed "an act of political agitation," Kindai found himself in violation of strict prohibitions against the publication of coastal maps, a rule motivated by security concerns of the isolationists. As such, after printing 500 woodcut copies of the slightly revised version in 1848, again for private distribution, he was discovered, tried in court, sent to a gaol for seven months, and began a criminal sentence that banished him from Edo for eighteen years (Kokushi daijiten.) The present map is an exceedingly scarce limited woodcut print which survived the shogunate's "ban and destroy" campaign while Kindai sat in the gaol.

Régny was a noted French economist who was invited around 1830 by Greek leader Capodistrias to assist Greece with their economic problems. Although Capodistrias was assassinated before he arrived Régny stayed in Greece during the period of Regency 1833-1835. He went on to found and assist in organizing the State Audit Council according to French ideals and became its first chairman. He also assisted in the Foundation of the National Bank of Greece in 1841. Arthémond de Régny got married in 1798 to the Genoese woman Catherine Castellini who was the daughter of Balthasar and granddaughter of Domenico Castellini who conquered the Algerians in 1763. Balthasar Castellini was consul to Naples and subsequently in Cartagena Spain Marseille and Genoa. He was in charge of important missions by the royal court of Naples and also held an outstanding position in the trade. The family Régny was originally from the province of Dombes. At the beginning of the eighteenth century Francois Régny established his family in Genoa where he was in charge of the "Direction of the Diplomats for the King. hardcover

Notenmanuskript. Quer Folio (240 x 330 mm). 30 Bll. letzte Seite leer. 8 Doppelblätter in 2 Lagen, Fadenbindung, starke Bütte, handrastriert, 10-zeilig, die beiden letzten Seiten 8-zeilig. Zeitgenössische Abschrift des Op. 28, deren Vorlage Rätsel aufgibt: Ein Vergleich mit dem Autograph und dem Erstdruck (Bureau des Arts et d'Industrie, PN 28, Wien 1802) sowie mit Titelauflagen und frühen Nachdrucken (Autograph, Abschrift und Originalausgabe im Querformat, Simrock 240 [1802] und Zulehner 130 [ca. 1807] im Hochformat, Hummel 1321 [1805/1806] im Querformat) führt zu folgenden Resultaten: Das Manuskript hat einige Gemeinsamkeiten mit dem Erstdruck und dem Autograph, die es von späteren Drucken unterscheidet, die daher nicht als Vorlage in Frage kommen. Es gibt aber auch Gemeinsamkeiten mit dem Autograph, in denen sich dieses vom Erstdruck unterscheidet (!), sodass auch eine zwischenzeitliche Abschrift der Sonate aus dem Manuskript vor dem Erstdruck als Kopiervorlage in Frage kommen kann. - Eine mögliche Erklärung dafür wäre der verhältnismäßig lange Zeitraum zwischen Entstehung im Herbst 1801 und Veröffentlichung der Sonate im August 1802 aufgrund der personellen Veränderungen in der Gründungsphase des Verlages: 1. Gesellschaftsvertrag vom 1. 5. 1801 "Kunst- und Industrie-Comptoir" Kappeller und Holer. 2. Dem Gesuch zur Firmenprotokollierung vom 23. 10. 1801 legten die Verleger eine "Kontraktliste" bei, nach der sie bereits über eine Reihe von Kompositionen für die Veröffentlichung verfügten, darunter auch Beethovens Sonate Op. 28. 3. Die neue Firma wurde am 1. 5. 1802 protokolliert, 4. aber erst ab August 1802 die Musikalien des Verlages in der Wiener Zeitung (WZ) annonciert, wobei mit Beethovens Op. 28 (und der dazu passenden Verlags-/Plattennummer 28) ein öffentlichkeitswirksamer Paukenschlag gesetzt werden sollte: Beethovens Sonate wurde am 14.8.1802 (WZ 65) alleine vorgestellt, 4 Tage später folgte dann die Ankündigung der Werke von Krommer, Call, Albrechtsberger, Förster, Eberl, etc. mit den Verlagsnummern 1-30 (ohne die bereits vorgestellte VN 28, 18.8.1802, WZ 66, Weinmann, S. 220 f). - Gertsch/Prahia erwähnen im Vorwort zur Henle Urtext-Ausgabe (2008) zur Erklärung der ungewöhnlichen Zeitspanne zwischen Entstehung und Druck auch die - nicht belegbare - Hypothese, dass Beethoven "dem Widmungsträger Joseph Freiherr von Sonnenfels (1732-1817) auf die Sonate ein Exklusivrecht von einigen Monaten oder gar einem Jahr eingeräumt" hätte. - Das Papier ist nach Auskunft des Archivs der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde für Wien um 1800 untypisch, und zeitlich nur grob auf die ersten beiden Jahrzehnte des 19. Jahrhunderts bestimmbar. - Etwas fingerfleckig, ansonsten sauber.
Folio (220 x 355 mm). German manuscript on paper. A sheaf of court documents containing records and correspondence (some as drafts or copies). 30 pp., folio und 4to, thread-stitched in grey wrappers with handwritten cover title as quoted above. Uncommon example of early modern court records relating to a case of sexual assault in the principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt (now Thuringia). During the night of Sunday, 14 January 1821, the 19-year-old maidservant Johanna Christiane Pröschold from Piesau was brutally raped at Pfeiffer's inn in Ascherbach (now part of Lichte near Neuhaus am Rennweg) by Friedrich Scherf, Adolph Brödel, Markus Glaser, Christoph and Wilhelm Wächter, as well as Carl Kampf from Lichte. The documents include the records of the statements made by the maid as well as by the perpetrators, signed by the local sheriff Johann Christoph Horn; a certificate of good character for Pröschold's employer, the innkeeper, given by the priest Johann Jakob Korn; the copy of a letter to the Administrative Office in Schwarzburg; and the draft of a report to the general counsel, König, in which it is said that the maid "suffered through this most villainous, shameful behaviour the most horrible maltreatment, indeed insulting to humanity, which in fact endangers her very life". The culprits were sentenced to corporal punishments and prison terms of various severity, spent at the Schwarzburg gaol. - A few leaves loose; a few insignificant edge flaws, but on the whole in excellent state of preservation.
Folio. 33 ff. German ms. on paper. Green cloth (c. 1950) with giltstamped cover title. Narrative of an Austrian captain stationed in Arad (now Romania) about the operation of the local brothel and their life there. Much of the lewd account is dedicated to a so-called "Olympic Festival", a staged public defloration termed "baptism", after the passing of which obscene rite the deflowered girls became full members of the house: "Nun rief die Oberpriesterin: Das Opfer sei vollbracht! - In diesem Momente rauschte die Musik starker um das Ächzen des Mädchens unhörbar zu machen, das elektrische Licht warf seinen vollen Glanz mit möglichster Intensität auf den Opferaltar. Der Jüngling begann mit voller Kraft gegen die Pforte des Heiligthumes der Liebe vorzudringen. Man sah deutlich die konvulsivischen Zuckungen aller Muskel der Jungfrau und nach wenigen, aber markigen Stößen übertonte ein, von heftigem Schmerze ausgepreßtes - Ach! - der Jungfrau die melodischen Töne der Musik, denn der Sieg war errungen, die Pforte zum Tempel der Liebe und Wonne war geöffnet. Noch ein kräftiger Stoß und der Szepter der Liebe war bis an sein Ende im Heiligthume der Wollust weich gebettet [...]". - Inserted in the account of the "baptism" of fourteen-year-old Irma is a digression on Hungarian erotic tradition and superstition. - Tear in title page restored. Well-legible manuscript with numerous corrections and revisions by the author. Occasional slight finger and dust staining; traces of horizontal and vertical folds.
