In 1884 Ali Bey started his journey as an ex-governor of Trabzon city and a new OPDA officer from Constantinople (Istanbul), and he arrived in Baghdad through Lesbos, Ayvalik, Smyrna (Izmir), Mersin, and Alexandretta (Iskenderun). On their way to Baghdad, they cross the Tigris River on rafts that local people call "Kelek". His descriptions of Baghdad city are very important and first-hand accounts of the region including the details of the walls of the city, hospitals, health organizations, industry, a transportation company on the river, a new settlement near the center of Kadhimiya with a tram line to through the city built. Ali Bey landed on the Indian continent in Karachi (today's Pakistan). He made a detailed description of the big cities that were the British Colony and states that he was influenced by these cities as a Reform period Turkish intellectual. He also describes Islamic India, Parsi traditions, costumes and funerals, Portuguese culture in India, Victoria Garden Zoo, silk weaving factories founded by David Sossoon, who came from Baghdad, architecture, music, theater, etc. List of ills.: General view from Ayvalik, the port of Smyrna (Izmir), the port of Mersin, two panoramas of Diyarbakir and Aleppo cities, the bridge of Musul, "Keleks" on the Tigris, a local woman of Aleppo, Famous water mill of Aleppo, Fortress of Aleppo, Eagles of Parsi people in Bombay, A Parsi family from Bombay, Arcadia ship in Bombay, Straight of Hormuz in Basra. Ali Bey was a playwright originally. He learned French in private lessons and firstly he worked at the Babiâli (The Sublime Port) Translation Office as a clerk, then he became a member of the Health Council and the first secretary of the Directorate of Quarantine. He went to Eastern Anatolia, Iraq, and Japan as an inspector of public debts (1855-88). After his duty as the Governor of Trabzon (1890-93) he became the director of the Office of Public Debts (1890-93), which would last until the end of his life. It is for this reason that he was called Direktör Ali Bey. His first work was published in Diyojen (1869-72), the first humorous review, published by Teodor Kasap. Ali Bey, who was one of the regular writers of this review, wrote plays for the Gedik Pasa Theater, which was founded by the Armenian Güllü Agop and his friends, and wrote scripts adapted from French plays. He gave Turkish diction lessons to the Armenian actors and participated in theater activities. His plays were performed under the authorship 'A Person' to hide his official identity. He explained the meanings of words satirically in his dictionary Lehçetü'l Hakayik (Language of Realities) which he wrote in 1897 and was the first work of its field; the faults of the 19th-century Ottoman Empire were also criticized in this dictionary.

188788Horsham: The Architectural and Planning Partnership and Mahmood Ali and Partners 1982. Baghdad resurgent - Arabian vernacular architecture meets modern urban planning First and sole edition rare: this the only copy to appear on auction records and we trace just one institutionally at Harvard. This impressively produced report concerns the historic Bab al-Sheikh neighbourhood in the Rusafa district of Baghdad a sensitive site that includes the mausoleum of Abdul-Qadir al-Gilani c. 1077-1166 founder of the Qadiriyya Sufi order. In 1980 the Mayoralty of Baghdad initiated plans to integrate Bab al-Sheikh into a wider development project. Previously some areas had been thoughtlessly levelled to make room for parking lots so local government consulted the distinguished Iraqi architect Rifat Chadirji who opposed random redevelopment without consideration for older structures. To lead the project Chadirji brought in two Britons architects and planners John Warren and Professor Roy Worskett and architect Mahmood al-Ali who had previously made water liability studies in the area alongside "colleagues in Horsham London and Baghdad" foreword. Chadirji remarks that "Warren's planning studies were of remarkable quality and insight as regards the conceptual requirements" Chadirji & Mutschler p. 57. When it came to the Bab al-Sheikh Warren identified for conservation some twenty "houses of quality" as Chadirji calls them and Mutschler remarks that "Bab al-Sheikh is an old residential quarter of great national importance and the problem was to design an economically viable project that would fit the pattern of the old Islamic city with its mosque and buildings Whoever intends to build upon the ground of a millennium-old culture has to combine its Arabian character and variety with the requirements of modern civilization". This report would have been produced for circulation among those most closely connected to the project and not intended for general release. Landscape small folio. Printed on coated paper illustrated throughout with architectural drawings plans and images of architectural models divisional titles printed on deep purple coated paper; separate APP image loosely inserted; text in English. Original screw-post binding nickel-plated screws green morocco-grain cloth covers gilt-lettered and decorated on both covers.

Very Good Arabic Original brown half leather bindings in Egyptian style, raised six bands to spine, title gilt on the second, volume nos on fourth, and alphabetical with the historical content of the volumes on sixth compartments and "Mahmoud Al-Tawawî" name. Minor foxing on some pages. Overall a very good set. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Arabic. 14 books are complete set in 7 volumes. Extremely rare first printed edition of the most comprehensive and complete corpus on Baghdad city, which includes Al-Baghdadi's first-hand account of the collection of hadiths, biographies, and his travels in the 11th century Baghdad in traditional "al-râwî" style. Al-Baghdadi is known as a Muslim traveler in the pursuit of knowledge who compiled hadiths and traveled to many Islamic cities. He was born on the 24th ?jumada II, 392 (1002) at Darzidjan, a large village on the west bank of the Tigris below Baghdad. The son of a khatib [i.e. preacher], he began his studies very early and spent his youth traveling in search of ?adith. In this way, he visited Basra, Nishapur, I?fahân, Hamadân, and Damascus. Finally settling in Baghdâd, he held the office of a kha?îb and this was the origin of the name al-Khatîb al-Bag_dadi. After completing his education, he spent more than twenty years of his time writing "Tarikh Baghdad". He finished his corpus in 444 AH [1052-53]. He was a fellow student of Rîsürrüesâ Ibn al-Muslima who was the vizier of the Abbasid caliph Kâim-Biemrillâh. The vizier took Khatib, whom he appreciated in the science of hadith, under his patronage. The Abbasid caliph, therefore, ordered Khatib to be given permission to take hadith lessons from him. Khatib started to narrate hadiths from "Tarikh Baghdad" to his students here in his house near the Nizâmiya Madrasa, on the other hand, he started to read the books for which he had permission to narrate from many teachers, also write the books he planned. Several years after, the Turkish commander Besasiri (?-1060), who was a supporter of the Fatimid Caliph Mustansir-Billâh, entered Baghdad with the encouragement of the Fatimid caliph, deposed the caliph, and killed Ibn al-Muslima. Some members of the Hanbali sect, who had a grudge against Khatib because of what they wrote against some Hanbalis in Tarikh Baghdad, started to disturb him by taking the opportunity to kill the vizier. Therefore, he had to flee to Damascus. In his masterpiece, Khatibi, in addition to his account and descriptions of the city during his time in Baghdad, 7831 figures of people in total who lived or came in Baghdad before 450 (1058), statesmen such as caliphs, viziers, commanders, poets, judges, and other professions. This is an alphabetical work giving information about biographies of these figures, but it starts with the name "Muhammad" referring to the Muslim prophet. The first volume is about the establishment of Baghdad in the pre-Islamic period, its conquest by the Muslims, and its history. This masterpiece of him, published in fourteen volumes, is the most comprehensive corpus written on Baghdad in the Islamic world including the city's topography, history, et alli.
