Altin isik.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) In modern very aesthetic full leather bdg. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script. 197, [2], [1] p. Altin isik. Ziya Gökalp, whose real name is Mehmet Ziya was born on March 23,1876 in Diyarbair. Ziya Gökalp started his education in Diyarbakir, and moved to Istanbul in 1895 to attend the school for veterinary medicine. During this stage of his life, he met important political figures of the era such as Ibrahim Temo and Ishak Sukûti. He was much influenced by the Young Turks movement and joined the political reform movement Ittihat ve Terakki (Committee of Union and Progress). He was arrested in 1898 because of his dissident activities and spent a year in prison. After his release, he was sent to exile to Diyarbakir where he worked on a minor governmental assignments. After the declaration of the second constitutional monarchy, he established a branch of Ittihat ve Terakki in Diyarbakir, and became its representative. He published the Peyman newspaper. In 1909, he attended the Ittihat ve Terakki Congress held in Thessalonica as the Diyarbakir delegate. The next year, he was elected member to the central administrative council of this organization in Thessalonica. He taught sociology courses in Ittihat Terakki's school, which he had helped establish in 1910. In the mean time, he also published the Genç Kalemler periodical. In 1912, he was elected as a representative of Ergani Maden to the Meclis-i Mebusan (Parliament), and he moved to Istanbul. He was also one of the founders of the association Türk Ocagi (The Turkish Hearth). He wrote about nationalism and Turkish nationalism in the publication of this association Turk Yurdu, and in many other publications such as Halka Dogru, Islam Mecmuasi, Milli Tetebbular Mecmuasi, Iktisadiyat Mecmuasi, Içtimaiyat Mecmuasi and Yeni Mecmua. In the mean time, he taught sociology at the Darülfünun-u Osmani (Istanbul University). During the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Ziya Gökalp sought to fashion a new national identity. In essence, his philosophy consisted of the effort of synthesizing the ethical and cultural values native to Turkish society, and certain values borrowed from the west. He summarized this approach as 'becoming Turkish, Muslim, and modern', and he took the cultural component from Turkish nationalism, and the ethical component from Islam. Gokalp defended that the constructive element of international culture were national cultures and he gave priority to folk literature over court literature. He believed in the importance of positive sciences, which had made the technological and scientific development of the West possible and considered religion as an auxiliary element on the way to reach religious and social unity. His social model was influenced by Emile Durkheim's theoretical concept of 'solidarism'. He opted for this model because unlike liberalism, which was based on the individual, and Marxism, which was based on class struggle, solidarism considered vocational organizations as the essential social unit. He wrote countless articles explaining his social and political views, and he systematized the concept of Turkish nationalism. He played an important role in the establishment and the development of Turkish national literature. In spite of the verse works and the poetry that he wrote in defense of Turkish nationalism, recent history Turkish cultural tends to acknowledge him more as a figure of political struggle. Ziya Gökalp earned great respect on the basis of his life of political activism. Leaving an indelible mark on the development of Turkish national identity, Gokalp died on October 25, 1924 as a citizen of the newly founded Republic of Turkey.

[A]Yâdgâr-i Zarîrân: Matn-i hamâsî az dawrân-i kuhan. [= Ayâdgâr-e Zârêrân].

New Persian, Old(ca. 600-400 B.C.) Original bdg. HC. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Persian and Pahlavi. 63 p. [A]Yâdgâr-i Zarîrân: Matn-i hamâsî az dawrân-i kuhan. [= Ayâdgâr-e Zârêrân]. Ayâdgâr-e Zârêrân, or 'Memorial of Zarer', a short Pahlavi text which is the only surviving specimen in that language of ancient Iranian epic poetry. It is preserved in a unique manuscript, written in A.D. 1322. The chief editions are those of J. M. Jamasp-Asana, The Pahlavi Texts Contained in the Codex MK II, Bombay, 1913, repr. Tehran, [1971-72], pp. 1-16; Pagliaro, Il testo pahlavico Ayâtkâr-i Zarêrân, Rome, 1925; and D. Monchi-Zadeh, Die Geschichte Zarêr's, Uppsala, 1981 (reviewed by D. N. MacKenzie, IIJ 27, 1984, pp. 155-63). It celebrates an event in the early history of Zoroastrianism. Wistâsp, having accepted the "pure religion of the Mazda-worshippers" (dên î abêzag i mâzdesnân)), is challenged on this account by Ardjâsp, lord of the Hyôns. The wise Jâmâsp foretells that Wistâsp's brother Zarêr and many others of his kin will die in the coming encounter. Nevertheless battle is joined. Zarêr, after fighting heroically, is foully slain by a Hyôn, Wîdraf the sorcerer. His son Bastwar, forbidden by Wistâsp to go to the battle-field because of his youth, flouts this command, finds his father's body, and utters a moving lament over it. He slays many Hyons in revenge, and shoots an arrow through Wîdrafs' heart. His cousin Spandyâd, Wistâsp's son, ends the battle by capturing Ardjâsp, mutilating him, and sending him abject away. There are numerous traces in the Pahlavi text of an older Parthian version, with Parthian words, phrases and grammatical usages scattered through it (for these see most fully MacKenzie, loc. cit.). Parthian, and other apparently archaic, certainly obscure, elements are most concentrated in passages of reported speech, notably par. 92, Bastwar's incantation over the arrow with which he is to shoot Wîdrafs; par. 41, an oath-taking formula; and pars. 84-87, Bastwar's elegy for his father...
