Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Paperback. Folio. (33 x24cm). In Ottoman script and French. [3], [1] p. Ottoman stamped in period. The Ottoman Empire used anthems since its foundation in the late 13th century, but did not use a specific imperial or national anthem until the 19th century. During the reign of Mahmud II, when the military and imperial band were re-organized along Western lines, Giuseppe Donizetti was invited to head the process. Donizetti Pasha, as he was known in the Ottoman Empire, composed the first Western-style imperial anthem, the Mahmudiye Marsi. Like in many other monarchies of its time, the anthem of the Ottoman Empire was an imperial anthem, not a national one. Hence it paid homage to a specific ruler and a new anthem was composed at each imperial succession. However, in 1844, with the Tanzimat reforms, the Mecidiye Marsi was recognized as the first official Ottoman national anthem. The first official Ottoman national flag (which was in essence identical to the present-day Turkish flag) was also adopted in 1844. Giuseppe Donizetti was an Italian musician. From 1828 he was Instructor General of the Imperial Ottoman Music at the court of Sultan Mahmud II (1808-39). His younger brother was the famous opera composer Gaetano Donizetti. He studied music first with his uncle, Carini Donizetti, and, later, he was a pupil of Simone Mayr. After enlisting in Napoleon's army (1808), he served there as band leader. He took part in the campaigns against Austria and in Spain, and followed Napoleon to Elba. He was present at the Battle of Waterloo. After the fall of Napoleon, he continued his career as a bandmaster in the Savoy army. Giuseppe Donizetti Pasha, as he was called in the Ottoman Empire, played a significant role in the introduction of European music to the Ottoman military. Apart from overseeing the training of the European-style military bands of Mahmud's modern army, he taught music at the palace to the members of the Ottoman royal family, the princes and the ladies of the harem, is believed to have composed the first national anthem of the Ottoman Empire, supported the annual Italian opera season in Pera, organised concerts and operatic performances at court, and played host to a number of eminent virtuosi who visited Istanbul at the time, such as Franz Liszt, Parish Alvars and Leopold de Meyer. Although the elder Donizetti was born in Bergamo, Italy, Constantinople became a second home for him, and he lived there until his death in 1856. He is buried in the vaults of the St. Esprit Cathedral, near the Beyoglu district of Istanbul, in Pera. Giovanni Avolio, (1849-1936) was an Italian conductor and composer. According to the sheet musical paper, this first anthem was composed in 1831 by Donizetti and arranged by Avolio into piano in 1918. J. D. Andria is one of the best known music publishers among the Ottoman Empire mionrities. According to he documents in hand, it can be estimated that he began musical score publication in the year of 1904. Andria dealt with music publication at the address of Beyoglu, Istiklal Street (Near Agha Mosque) at 68 no. Andria also published four pieces of Turkish marche parties for piano as far as we know; besides his big sized west music works, which were published in general by him. Donizetti's 'Marche' is one of them as well besides Halit Recep Arman's, Miilok's, and Orente's ones. It is known when publishing life of Andria ended.

Mm 160x225 RARISSIMO. Edizione originale - Brossura editoriale con copertina illustrata a colori, 154 pagine. Nonostante manchi metà del dorso (incollato) e il volume presenti inevitabili segni del tempo, il piatto anteriore risulta interamente conservato, l'interno fresco e pienamente fruibile -- Questo introvabile libro reportage raccoglie gli articoli scritti da Montanelli durante i mesi passati in Albania dal novembre del 1938 al marzo 1939. Dall'Albania Montanelli, d'accordo con Borelli, direttore del Corriere della Sera, inviò molti articoli di 'varietà' destinati alla terza pagina. Il libro è molto importante per una esatta ricostruzione dei rapporti tra Montanelli e il regime Fascista, ma soprattutto per mettere in evidenza le frequenti evasioni che Montanelli si concedeva con passione nel ruolo di eminenza grigia con ruoli politici e diplomatici (come accadde con l'ambasciatrice degli Usa Clara Booth Luce della quale fu ascoltato consigliere e in tante altre occasioni) -- Contattare la libreria per ulteriori informazioni

Copia, nello stesso verso, da un niello attribuito a Maso Finiguerra, appartenuto alla collezione Durazzo, di cui oggi si conosce solo una prova su carta (conservata al Louvre, coll. Rothschild, inv. 137 Ni, in controparte rispetto a questa), tratta probabilmente da un'impronta in zolfo. Il niello originale appartenne alla collezione di Eugène Félix, poi passò ai Durazzo, in seguito nella collezione Figdor di Vienna. I nielli della collezione Durazzo vennero fatti riprodurre in incisioni proprio dal proprietario, tra fine XVIII e inizio XIX secolo, a Venezia - come specificato anche dal Malaspina nel suo catalogo del 1824 - costituendo una serie che venne diffusa e collezionata dagli amatori. Bartsch descrive queste copie nel suo volume edito nel 1811, data che quindi costituisce il terminus ante quem per l'esecuzione. Per l'attribuzione a Maso Finiguerra, contestata da alcuni studiosi, si veda la sintesi in Zucker in The Illustrated Bartch,1993. Copy, on the same verso, of a niello attributed to Maso Finiguerra, owned by Marchese Jacopo Durazzo. Only one paper impression is known (kept at the Louvre, Rothschild collection, inv. 137 Ni, in counterpart to this one), probably pulled not from the silver plaque, but from a lost sulfur cast, as is shown by the thick, dark lines, caused by cracks in the sulfur, that run diagonally across the top of the image, as noted by Hind. The silver plaque owned by Durazzo was sold (Durazzo sale, 1872, n. 2876) to the Eugène Félix collection in Leipzig and later to the collection of Albert Figdor in Vienna. The nielli of the Durazzo collection were reproduced in prints by owner’s will, between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, in Venice - as also specified by Malaspina in his catalog of 1824 - constituting a series that was circulated and collected by the amateurs. Bartsch describes these niello prints in his volume published in 1811, a date that therefore constitutes the terminus ante quem for the execution. For the attribution to Maso Finiguerra, disputed by some scholars, see Zucker in The Illustrated Bartsch, 2401.002.

The Fossati brothers, Gaspare and Giuseppe (1822-1891), were Swiss architects. They completed more than 50 projects in Turkey during the Tanzimat Era.
