Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Modern cloth bdg. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script. 188 p., ills. Lithograph. Divân-i Âsik Yunus Emre. [On 'derkenar'] Kenzü'l-miftah ve Serh-i Kaside-i Yunus Emre. Yunus Emre was a sufi poet in 13th century. The information on his life is fragmentary, based on what he writes in his Diwan and on stories told within the Bektashi tradition. He is the author of a Diwan. This Diwan contains 417 poems, all of which bar one are ghazals. He mostly used the Turkic system of versifying, based on the number of syllables and stress position rather than the elaborate rules of Arab-Persian prosody. He used the Old Anatolian Turkish language, which was understood by everyone in its period, with very few Arabic or Persian words, and he contributed greatly to the establishment of a Turkish mystical vocabulary based on classic Sufi terms. The most recurrent themes in Yunus Emre's Diwan are mystic love(âsk), the Friend (dost), and how to be a dervish. Yet he is no recluse and the conditions of everyday life are reflected in his poems. His easily understandable religious and moral advice is couched in a lyrical language that is heartfelt, sincere and often highly passionate. His poetry, set to music, was of central importance in the dissemination of Sufi teachings in Anatolia, and influenced the tekke poetry of the following centuries. The intense religious and humane feeling in his poetry has not lost its appeal today. (Source: A history of Seljuks, Ibrahim Kafesoglu). On derkenar text, there's 'Kenzü'l mifta hby Erzincanî Terzi Baba and annotation of 'qasidah' by Yunus Emre. Erzincanî's verse "Kenzil Fütuh" composed of his Sufi and mystic poems was compiled and transferred into verse by Haci Hafiz Mehmed Rüsdi Efendi and published as "Kenzü'l-miftah". It is very important poetry book on sufism and Islamic mysticism. Rare. Two undated copies in Özege pre-1885 edition. Özege 23525. OCLC: 1030936501.

[Money & Accounting] Amtsanweisung- Einblatt Druck Von Gottes Gnaden, Carl, Herzog zu Braunschweig... Von Gottes Gnade...die von den Beamten und Rechnungsfuhrern zeithero eingesandte Quartals Extracte...zum Theil nicht ordentlich formiret... so mangelhaft befunden worden... [Braunschweig 26 January 1779] First and only printing. Folio, 4 double leafs = 16 pages (40 x 35cm when opened). Text is in German. Rare antique accounting spreadsheet from 1779. A very good example of this unrecorded multi page print. An unusual set of instructions to the local magistrates on how to structure their tax accounting reports since audits by the court accountants have found many mistakes. In addition to the detailed 5 page instructions there are 8 pages (plus 3 integral blanks) of spreadsheet which show preprinted columns for Revenue and Expenditures. It is obvious that the court accountants did not expect any deficits as the instructions clearly expect a positive tax remittance to be made at the end of every quarter. Rare. No record in COPAC or KVK

Folio (22 x 32cm), 1 leaf folded, uncut and unbound as issued, very strong impression, light discoloration at bottom margin, otherwise in very good condition. Text in German. An interesting broadside issued by the King of Denmark in 1788 who at the time ruled over the Province of Schleswig Holstein (today part of Germany) and the City of Altona (today part of Hamburg) attempting to prevent the export of horses…"by land or sea…" This edict was most likely issued as a result of the 'Theatre War' which had started just a week prior on 24 September. Any available horses were most likely needed for the war effort. Rare and Unusual. No Copies in KVK.
Minor bump to bottom corner still wrapped in publisher's plastic. ; Handbook of Oriental Studies / Handbuch Der Orientalistik, Section 1 the Near and Middle East, 28; 1.1 x 9.5 x 6.2 Inches; 330 pages; Ugaritic, discovered in 1929, is a North-West Semitic language, documented on clay tablets (about 1250 texts) and dated from the period between the 14th and the 12th centuries B. C. E. The documents are of various types: literary, administrative, lexicological. Numerous Ugaritic tablets contain portions of a poetic cycle pertaining to the Ugaritic pantheon, but there are also administrative documents that shed light on the organization of Ugarit, thus contributing greatly to our understanding of the history and culture of the biblical and North-West Semitic world. This important reference work, a revised and translated edition of the author's Hebrew publication (Beer Sheva, 1993) , deals with the phonology, morphology and syntax of Ugaritic. The book contains also an appendix with text selections.
