Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original very decorative 1/4 leather bdg. Raised bands, ornaments gilded on four compartments of five. Foolscap 8vo. (17 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script. 173 p. Framed text in a style of early 19th century mostly seen in the transition period from manuscripts to the printing. Slightly faded on boards, stains on margins of two pages. Otherwise a very good copy. Harputî Ishak Efendi was a 19th-century statesman and Islamic scholar in the Ottoman Empire. After completing his first education in his hometown, he came to Istanbul and received a license from "Sahn-i Seman Madrasahs" in Fatih, Constantinople. While teaching in Istanbul madrasas, he taught "huzur dersleri" [i.e. the peace lessons] of Sultan Abdulaziz. He continued these lessons for many years as an educator. During the reign of Sultan Abdülhamit II, he was a commission member in the Ministry of Foundations (Waqfs), as a teacher of junior high, and as a qadi of Isparta and Medina. Harputi Ishak was an accomplished theological instructor and writer. In 1861, he published the Sems al-hakikat against Karl Pfander's ideas. During the 1860s he was a teacher at the prestigious Darü'l-Maarif secondary school. Harputî Ishak then rose within the religious scholarly ranks while an instructor at the Fatih Medrese, and he gained the attention of Sultan Abdülaziz. In the 1870s, he held the position of molla, as he was an instructor at the Darü'l-Maarif, and attained the rank of Istanbul payesi (rank of the qadi of Istanbul). His literary ventures had the official sanction and reflected so-called traditionalist views of Sultan Abdulaziz's administration in contrast to Euro-centric reformers such as Ali Pasha. In 1874, he wrote the Kashifu'l-esrâr ve dafiu'l-eshrar, against Bektashism. On the third page of the work, Ishak Efendi stated that he divided the book into three parts. The first part includes Fadlullah el-Hurufi (prophet, or, leader of Hurufism) and the basic principles of Bektashism, the second part, the criticism of Abdülmecid Firisteoglu's work named Isknâme [i.e. The book of light], and third part, the criticism of the views against religion in Câvidânnâme (The sacred book of Hurufis by their leader, Fazlullah). Ishaq says that all Hurufis and Bektashis are the enemies of Islamic religion in his book, which he describes as Hurufi and attacks in this direction. (Source: AN ANTI-ISLAMIC POLEMIC IN 1878 OTTOMAN ISTANBUL: S.W. KOELLE'S GIDAÜ'L-MÜLAHAZAT, by Scott Rank). It is not known how many copies of the book written by Ishaq were published in any source, but it is known that the readers and the public of the period were influenced by this Sunni-origin counter-discourse.

Very Good Serbo-Croatian Original color lithographed print poster. Mounted on cardboard. Slight chip on the left corner, not loose. A good poster. 44x28 cm. In Serbo-Croatian. Artist signature: Kun, [Gleb?]. Red and black theme on the white surface. The peasant Serbian woman with her head and right hand raised to the sky is depicted. Antifastictika Fronta Zena [i.e. The Women's Antifascist Front] was a Yugoslav feminist and anti-fascist mass organization. The predecessor to several feminist front groups in the former Yugoslavia, and present-day organizations in the region, the "AFZ" was heavily involved in organizing and participating in the Partisans, the communist and multi-ethnic resistance to the Nazi occupation of Yugoslavia during World War II. It was formed by volunteers on 6 December 1942 in Bosanski Petrovac at the First National Conference of Women. In its early days, the organization was called the Antifascist Organization of Women (AOZ). In Croatia, the organization was named the Antifascist in front of women of Croatia. In Slovenia, there were a number of titles: Antifascist women association, Antifascist Front Women, Antifascist Front of Women. It was founded under the name of the Slovenian Antifascist Women Association. There was also a Slovenian Anti-Italian Women's Union. In Macedonia, it was called Antifascist front of women of Macedonia (Antifasisticki front na zenite na Makedonija). In Serbia, there was the Antifascist Front of Women of Serbia, including the Antifascist Front of Women of Vojvodina (based in Subotica). Before World War II, many women organizations advocated for peace, fighting against the different totalitarian forces that were growing across Europe. During the war, however, many women organized themselves within the antifascist movement and strengthened their position. This is confirmed by the first document of the Supreme Headquarters and the National Liberation Army volunteer Yugoslavia, which at that time was the supreme authority in the liberated territories. In various documents, it confirmed women's active and passive voting rights, which they already possessed prior to 1941, as outlined in the Constitution, but were not allowed to exercise. [.] Women began to massively involve the NOP as soldiers, medical staff, politicians, and MPs. Different female structures, which were established in 1941 under various names, have been associated in the wider areas, and as of 6 December 1942, held the first National Conference of Women. The conference was attended by 166 delegates from all over Yugoslavia, except for Macedonia, because they did not occur because of both distance and security concerns. Then the Conference founded the Antifascist Front of Women with the aim of mobilizing women for assisting new units, helping partisan government bodies, participation in armed and sabotage actions, and for the development of 'Brotherhood and Unity' among women. AFZ played an influential role in the Second World War, after the Invasion of Yugoslavia. The NLA attracted about two million women. In military units, there were 110 000 women. During the war, 2,000 women became officers. AFZ Committees were also responsible were collecting clothes for the NOV, caring about children, wounded soldiers, working as front-line nurses, and performing agricultural tasks. Of the 305,000 fallen soldiers between 1941-1945, 25000 were women, and of the 405,000 injured 40,000 were women. The issue of legal equality did not arise, because the women through their participation in the national liberation movement had arguably already achieved certain rights. All that after FOCA regulations on the principles of equality enshrined in the later constitutions "new" Yugoslavia, and various laws, the result of the struggle of women themselves in the feminist and anti-fascist women's organizations before the war, as well as their struggle during the war.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary green cloth bdg. Slight scratches on faded cloth, with slight foxing on pages. Overall a good copy. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 238, [2] p., 1 b/w portrait of Nezihe, ills. First and only edition of this exceedingly rare first book including a "May 1" poem, written by a Turkish female poet Yazar Nezihe. Nezihe was considered as one of the female poets in the Ottoman Period. She is known as a writer of the first Turkish poem for International Workers' Day on May 1. Yasar Nezihe differed from other female poets of the period in the sense of her life story and a contrary literary identity. Throughout her lifetime, she wrote poems about her penurious and challenging childhood as well as her love life and marriages. Being known as the first female poet whose works were published in Aydinlik Dergisi (i.e. Enlightenment Journal), Yasar Nezihe also became prominent for supporting labor unrests and her activist identity. She was recognized as a socialist poet who gave voice to poverty in her poems. She wrote the poem named "Gazete Sahiplerine" (i.e. To Newspaper Owners) addressing the executives with the intent of supporting laborers who were on strike because of the disagreement between newspaper owners and Mürettipler Cemiyeti (i.e. Typesetters Society). (Source: Wikipedia). This is her second poetry book. Being the first female poet wrote in Aydinlik Dergisi, Yasar Nezihe Bükülmez was accused of being a communist because of her writings, her membership of Osmanli Amele Cemiyeti [The Ottoman Workers' Society], and support for labor unrests and was arrested. Book has a biographical introductory text by Rifat Necdet Evrimer, (1898-1971) who was a Turkish/Ottoman poet, educator, and biographer in which is important being the earliest male gaze in its period.

Prior to the upcoming World War II, it was carried out both as a review of the level of preparation of the armed forces and as a show of strength for potential enemy threats. First of all, the fascist movement led by Benito Mussolini in Italy and then the Nazis, led by Adolf Hitler in Germany, after they took the power to aggressively take up arms and run again to share the land in the European continent, were regarded as a sign of an upcoming war. Therefore, Turkish state officials, especially Atatürk, decided to get military exercises to prepare the armed forces for a military confrontation and to intimidate potential threats.

Very Good German n modern aesthetic full leather bdg. Folio. (32 x 24 cm). Bilingual in German and Turkish. 103, [1] p., b/w plates. Includes exhibition booklet (15 pp., b/w ills.), and text of the speech of German ambassador (Franz von Papen) for this exhibition (4 pp.). "The New German Architectural Exhibition opened in Ankara Exhibition House between 31st January and 15th February 1943 was one of the exhibitions opened during World War II. This exhibition occupied a distinctive place on the public agenda due to its size and effect in media on that date. A great number of Turkish authorities, foreign diplomatic representatives, and journalists attended the exhibition, which was opened with great efforts, and the leading role of the German Ambassador in Ankara, Franz von Papen, and such a situation caused the exhibition to attract attention. Even though the civil architectural and engineering works stopped completely in Germany during the War and some of the projects were draft and incomplete, they tried to be exhibited to give the impression of Nazi Germany's "great power" with the aim of propaganda. In Turkey's press, great praises were presented in writings towards the magnificence and architects of German architecture. Not only axis powers but also allied powers tried to attract the attention of the Turkish Government and the public agenda in Turkey using propaganda methods. As a result of such attempts, the UK opened exhibitions in 1944 on English architecture in Ankara first and then in Istanbul. Similar praises spent for German architecture were also presented to that of the UK. At this point, it may be stated that as for the War, Turkey followed a policy of active neutrality, Turkish media also followed the same policy."

Joan of Arc nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans" (French: La Pucelle d'Orléans), is considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War and was canonized as a Roman Catholic saint. She was born to Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romée, a peasant family, at Domrémy in northeast France. Joan claimed to have received visions of the archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria instructing her to support Charles VII and recover France from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The unanointed King Charles VII sent Joan to the Siege of Orléans as part of a relief army. She gained prominence after the siege was lifted only nine days later. Several additional swift victories led to Charles VII's consecration at Reims. This long-awaited event boosted French morale and paved the way for the final French victory. On 23 May 1430, she was captured at Compiègne by the Burgundian faction, a group of French nobles allied with the English. She was later handed over to the English and put on trial by the pro-English Bishop Pierre Cauchon on a variety of charges. After Cauchon declared her guilty, she was burned at the stake on 30 May 1431, dying at about nineteen years of age. In 1456, an inquisitorial court authorized by Pope Callixtus III examined the trial, debunked the charges against her, pronounced her innocent, and declared her a martyr. In the 16th century, she became a symbol of the Catholic League, and in 1803 she was declared a national symbol of France by the decision of Napoleon Bonaparte. She was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920. Joan of Arc is one of the nine secondary patron saints of France, along with Saint-Denis, Saint Martin of Tours, Saint Louis, Saint Michael, Saint Rémi, Saint Petronilla, Saint Radegund and Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. Joan of Arc has remained a popular figure in literature, painting, sculpture, and other cultural works since the time of her death, and many famous writers, playwrights, filmmakers, artists, and composers have created, and continue to create, cultural depictions of her.
