New English Original bdg. HC. Large roy. 8vo. (25 x 17 cm). In English. 519 p., color and b/w ills. Scramble for the past. A story of archaeology in the Ottoman Empire, 1753-1914. When, at the turn of the nineteenth century, Lord Elgin stripped the Parthenon of its sculptures and carried them to England, he saw himself as both preserving classical art for posterity and claiming the rightful heritage of the west. And when, soon after, the French government purchased an armless statue of Aphrodite on the island of Melos and displayed it triumphantly in the Louvre, it too identified France as the natural heir of antiquity. The Austrians and Germans, for their part, unearthed and brought home vast quantities of sculpture and architecture from throughout the Near East. Beginning in the mid-eighteenth century, European scholars and amateurs poured into Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Mesopotamia to explore, dig, catalogue, and cart home the material remains of the ancient world. The collections they amassed became celebrated museums; the scholarly techniques they developed formed the foundation of modern, scientific archaeology. But at the time, the lands they traversed and the antiquities they found belonged neither to the empires of Europe nor to local states; rather, the entire territory was the possession of the Ottoman Empire. What did the Ottomans think of the European passion for die past? What was their own view of the ancient worldand its heritage?Scramble for the Past explores the historiography of archaeology in the Ottoman domains between the founding of London's British Museum in 1753 and that of Istanbul's Evkaf Museum (Museum of IslamicArt) in 1914. It sees the rise of archaeology not as an alien western imposition upon the east, or indeed as a purely European invention, but as a process that emerged out of an interaction between Europe and the Ottoman world. Essays by fifteen leading international scholars explore the relationship of archaeology to politics, ideology, and national identity as well as the influences ofthe ancient finds on popular culture.Filled with anecdote and incident, richly illustrated with period paintings, sculptures, postcards, photographs, documents, and rarities from the Ottoman archives, Scramble for the Past offers a new look at the modern invention of the ancient world.

New English Original bdg. HC. 4to. (28 x 20 cm). In English. 214 p., color and b/w ills. The museum is established on the basis of the firm belief that the history of science and technology represents a common heritage of mankind. The part played therein by the Islamic Culture Area is highlighted here by means of historical instruments, tools and devices. Yet one should not lose sight of the fact that Muslims did not create these from scratch, but they adopted at first the inheritance of the preceding cultures, above all, that of the Greeks and the early Byzantines, and then developed this inheritance further. To a large extent, the exhibits displayed here are original inventions from the period extending from the ninth to the sixteenth century CE, a period in which Muslims themselves were creatively active.
