Very Good Turkish Original typescript court document with autograph signatures of judge and two members of TC Istanbul Third Court. (32x21 cm). In Modern Turkish. 1 p. 10 stamps on front and verso of the paper. The Karamanli dynasty was an early modern dynasty, independent or quasi-independent, which ruled from 1711 to 1835 in Tripolitania. The territory comprised Tripoli and its surroundings in present-day Libya. At its peak, the Karamanli dynasty's influence reached Cyrenaica and Fezzan, covering most of Libya. The founder of the dynasty was Pasha Ahmed Karamanli, a descendant of the Karamanids. The most well-known Karamanli ruler was Yusuf ibn Ali Karamanli Pasha who reigned from 1795 to 1832, who fought a war with the United States in (1801-1805). Ali II Karamanli marked the end of the dynasty. By 1819, the various treaties of the Napoleonic Wars had forced the Barbary states to give up piracy almost entirely, and Tripolitania's economy began to crumble. Yusuf attempted to compensate for lost revenue by encouraging the trans-Saharan slave trade, but with abolitionist sentiment on the rise in Europe and to a lesser degree the United States, this failed to salvage Tripolitania's economy. As Yusuf weakened, factions sprung up around his three sons; though Yusuf abdicated in 1832 in favor of his son Ali II, civil war soon resulted. Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II sent in troops ostensibly to restore order, but instead deposed and exiled Ali II, marking the end of both the Karamanli dynasty and an independent Tripolitania. A descendant family with the same name still exists in modern Tripoli-Libya. This document shows distribution of Tripoli Governor Ali Pasha's succession who died in 1269 [1853] by Turkish court order. There is many successors mentioned on this document from sons of Ali Pasha's to Ziya Pasha and his wife etc. Court order has 24 lines and signatures. Dated on the stamp is June, 11, 1930.

Paris, Jouve et Cie éditeur 1910. In-8 broché de 283 pages. Peu courant
br., (couv. très légt fanée, rares soulignures au crayon de couleur) « Si les analyses de droit comparé visent à l’explication des singularités institutionnelles et des entraînements propres à chaque système juridique, l’histoire apporte ici les assurances fondamentales, la connaissance du terrain ; elle est, au fond, l’écologie des droits contemporains, au moins pour une très large part irremplaçable. C’est pourquoi sont si précieuses les recherches sur la formation des droits locaux, quand elles ne s’égarent pas dans une comptabilit privée d’interprétation, comme c’est encore le cas hélas ! de nos jours. Le livre ici rapporté sera reçu au titre d’un essai exemplaire ; il y manque seulement une conclusion plus tonique, plus ouverte sur les législations et les jurisprudences du XXe siècle. Pourquoi, au terme d’une étude si consciencieuse où pullulent tant de notations importantes, n’avoir pas ajouté quelques observations sur cet au-delà du XIXe siècle, notre présent ? Le XIXe siècle était si bien vue, comme aboutissement dans la conjoncture générale de l’unification des droits civils, que le comparatiste regrettera cette abstention de l’auteur pour le XXe. Mais la chicane ne va pas plus loin, car cet ouvrage mérite attention, par l’ampleur de son thème, la fermet de ses propositions, la localisation des sondages dans une région située au carrefour de plusieurs courants d’influence parmi les plus importants en Europe. » (Pierre Legendre, RIDC, n° 1/1971, p. 246-247).

demi-vélin ivoire, tit. doré sur pc. de maroquin brun, rel. au chiffre « J. G. G. », couv. cons., (qq. lég. traces d’utilisation, des soulignures au crayon de couleur), bon état « l’ouvrage se borne à l’étude du droit successoral, ce que le titre principal ne permettrait pas de comprendre s ’il n’était accompagné d’un sous-titre limitatif. (…) Cet ouvrage, en résumé, est une étude importante de l’ancien droit successoral liégeois. On ne chicanera pas l’auteur sur ses références à un ouvrage non encore publié sur les sources du droit liégeois; c’est un inconvénient dont il n’est sans doute pas responsable. (…). L’ouvrage sera utile à tous les historiens du droit et des institutions, et il faut en complimenter son auteur. » (Gabriel Lepointe, Revue du Nord, n° 117/1948, p. 69-71).
