Very Good Turkish Original wrappers. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 64 p., b/w ills. Two ex-library stamps on front and back covers. A rare Turkish brochure printed by "Folk Culture Center" in Germany for Turkey after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The Chernobyl accident was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on 25-26 April 1986 in the No. 4 nuclear reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat, in northern Ukrainian SSR. [.] No evidence of changes in the prevalence of human deformities/birth congenital anomalies which might be associated with the accident, are apparent in Belarus or Ukraine, the two republics which had the highest exposure to fallout. In Sweden and Finland where no increase in abortion rates occurred, it was likewise determined that "no association between the temporal and spatial variations in radioactivity and variable incidence of congenital malformations [was found]." A similar null increase in the abortion rate and a healthy baseline situation of no increase in birth defects was determined by the assessment of the Hungarian Congenital Abnormality Registry, Findings also mirrored in Austria. Larger, "mainly western European" data sets approaching a million births in the EUROCAT database, divided into "exposed" and control groups were assessed in 1999. As no Chernobyl-based impacts were detected, the researchers conclude "in retrospect the widespread fear in the population about the possible effects of exposure on the unborn fetus was not justified". Despite studies from Germany and Turkey, the only robust evidence of negative pregnancy outcomes that transpired after the accident were these elective abortion indirect effects, in Greece, Denmark, Italy, etc., due to the anxieties created. This is an extremely rare brochure prepared for Turkey by the German government on Chernobyl including the effects of disaster and the measures for the same, accompanied by many b/w illustrations in a very interesting black humor style.

Nota bibliografica manoscritta alla prima carta bianca. Quarta edizione della prima opera, ma prima a presentare le “lettioni in difesa della tragedia” comprendenti vari scritti di Speroni in difesa del suo lavoro e contro il ''Giudizio'' del Cavalcanti ed il ''Prologo in persona di Venere'' e prima edizione della seconda opera. Sperone Speroni (Padova, 1500 – Padova, 1588) fu un celebre scrittore, commediografo e filosofo padovano. Membro dell'Accademia degli Infiammati fu grande amico di Torquato Tasso che si affidò a lui per la revisione della “Gerusalemme liberata”. Insieme al Trissino, fu una delle figure più importanti del classicismo cinquecentesco anche se in modo ancor più estremo. Ad esempio, Speroni criticava il Trissino perché aveva tratto il soggetto della sua Sofonisba da fatti storici, invece che dalla mitologia. La prima opera qui presentata è una delle sue più celebri opere, la tragedia Canace. Uscita una prima volta nel 1546, di nuovo stampata nel 1550 e riedita nel 1566, l’opera ebbe subito grande successo, tanto da influenzare in modo molto marcato la produzione tragica della seconda metà del XVI° secolo. Nonostante il successo dell’opera, lo scritto incontrò una forte critica da parte di alcuni letterati, primo fra tutti Bartolomeo Cavalcanti come sottolinea anche il Gamba, 1654: "Edizione arricchita da varie composizioni e soprattutto dalla difesa che lo Speroni compose per la propria tragedia criticata da Bartolomeo Cavalcanti." Scrive così Pierr-Louis Ginguené, riferendosi alla Canace nella sua “Histoire littéraire d'Italie” «L'une des tragédies qui fit alors le plus de bruit fut la Canace du savant Sperone Speroni (1500-1588). (...) Il se répandit des copies de la Canace dans l'Italie entière ; il s'en fit bientôt des éditions pseudonymes et fautives dont le Speroni se plaignit inutilement. Avant même qu'elle eut acquis cette publicité, on avait fait courir en manuscrit un jugement sur la Tragédie de Canace et Macare, dans lequel l'ouvrage et l'auteur étaient durement critiqués, et quant à l'invention et quant au style. Le Speroni, qui avait d'abord méprisé ce Jugement, le voyant ensuite imprimé se mit à rédiger une Apologie, qu'il n'acheva cependant pas (...) Ceux qui en ont le plus approuvé le style y louent surtout une aisance et une certaine délicatesse ignorées jusqu'alors dans la poésie dramatique. Ils pensent que la Canace peut avoir, en cela, servi de modèle au Tasse dans son Aminta, et au Guarini dans son Pastor fido.». La seconda opera, in prima edizione, pubblicata solo postuma, contiene diverse orazioni di Speroni rivolte ad alcuni celebri personaggi del cinquecento ed considerato come uno dei massimi esempi dell’eccelsa arte oratoria di Speroni che sviluppò e portò a compimento l’oratoria rinascimentale. Il volume contiene: Al Re Filippo di Spagna; Al Re Antonio di Navarra della Pace col Re di Francia; In morte di Giulia Varrana Duchessa di Urbino; Al Principe di Venezia Luigi Mocenigo, nella sua creazione; In morte del cardinal pietro Bembo; A Giacopo Cornaro Capitanio di Padova nella sua partita; A Girolamo Cornaro Capitanio di Padova nella sua partita; Contra le Cortigiane; A gli Accademici Infiammati di Padova quando fu suo Principe.
