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. A few abrasions to binding paper spines nicked and chipped at ends internally some faint tidemarks peripheral toning and general cockling a few leaves nicked at foot: very good.

This edition includes the second and third series together of the Emprunt Impérial Ottoman 4% du Chemin de Fer de Bagdad Ottoman Imperial Loan 4% of the Baghdad Railway and reflects the contractual framework of the railway's financing. The first series was originally issued in 1905. ON "DE CASTRO" PRINTING HOUSE: In 1808 a work titled Tikuney Zohar was printed at the Hebrew printing press established by Yitshak ben Avraham Castro in the same year. It appears that the press did not publish any works until 1823 when printing resumed. From that year onward books bore the imprint "Yitshak de Castro and Sons." The place of printing was recorded as "el Saray de Ingiliz the English Palace." Castro who did the typesetting of the books in his own home used the English Palace in Constantinople as the printing house. This press primarily published Ladino works translated from Hebrew. Among these were books such as Ben Sira Sefer ha-Yashar and Kav ha-Yashar along with various collections of responsa and sermons. The most remarkable works published by this press were two books written in opposition to Christianity and British missionary activities. The press remained active until 1848 closing after the death of Yitshak Castro. After 1849 two Hebrew printers were active in Istanbul: Nisim de Castro and Moshe de Castro. They are believed to have been the sons of Yitshak Castro and following their father's death each established his own independent printing house. Between 1849 and 1850 Nisim de Castro's press produced three books two in Hebrew and one in Ladino. Moshe de Castro's press issued two Hebrew works one in 1849 and another in 1862. This press continued to operate under the name "Castro Press" publishing two additional Ladino books in 1877 and 1925. In 1853 Leon Haim de Castro likely a descendant launched and edited Or Israël The Light of Israel the first Jewish newspaper published in Istanbul. Meral.
