New Arabic Original full crown leather bdg. Large roy. 8vo. (25 x 17 cm). In Arabic. 6 volumes set: ([63], 3555 p.). Tabaqât-e a'lâm al-Shî'a. Nuqabâ' al-Bashar fî al-Qarn al-Râbi' 'Ashar. 6 volumes set. Edited by Sayyid Muhammad Tabatabyi Behbahani. Tehrani was born on 11 Rabi?a I 1293/6 April 1876, into a mercantile family of Tehran that had strong religious interests; his father, ?âjj 'Ali, participated actively in the celebrated tobacco boycott of 1308/1891 and later wrote a book on the history of the movement. Aqa Bozorg received his initial education from private tutors in Tehran before proceeding to the ?atabat in 1315/1897. (1313/1895 in Rahnema-ye ketab, p. 525), where he spent the rest of his life, with the exception of four brief return visits to Iran and two short journeys to Syria, Egypt, and the ?ejaz. Among his teachers in Najaf were A?und Molla Mo?ammad-Ka?em ?orasani, Sayyed Mo?ammad-Ka?em Yazdi, Say?-al-sari?a E?fahani and ?ajji Mirza ?osayn Nuri. He was particularly close to the first of these, working as his amanuensis and assisting in the composition of his major work on feqh, al-Kefaya. On the death of ?orasani in 1329/1911, he left Najaf for Samarra to join the circle of Mirza Mo?ammad-Taqi Sirazi. He stayed there until 1354/1935, returning then to Najaf which remained his home until his death. While in Samarra, he conceived, and began to execute, the plan of a comprehensive bibliographical survey of all classes of literature produced by Shi?ite authors. His original intention was to refute a statement by the Christian Arab litterateur, Jorji Zaydan, belittling the Shi?ite contribution to Arabic letters. However, the survey that Aqa Bozorg produced, al-?ari?a ela ta?anif al-si?a, went far beyond this polemical purpose to become the main achievement of his career and a major contribution to Islamic scholarship. In al-?ari?a, the titles of all books written by Shi?ite authors are listed alphabetically, together with a brief indication of authorship and content, as well as place and date of publication in the case of printed works, and location in the case of manuscripts. Aqa Bozorg returned to Najaf in 1354/1935 and established a press (Ma?ba?at al-sa?ada) to print the first volume of al-?ari?a, but was soon obliged to sell it (see Rahnema-ye ketab, p. 526). Other arrangements were then made for the printing in Najaf of the second and third volumes, but all subsequent volumes-with the exception of the thirteenth and fourteenth-were published in Tehran. Twenty-two volumes have appeared to date; seven more await publication (For full bibliographical details concerning al-?ari?a, see ?akimi, pp. 543-45). Aqa Bozorg also compiled a biographical dictionary of Shi?ite scholars as a companion to al-?ari?a. The dictionary has the general title ?abaqat a?lam al-si?a, but each section, pertaining to the scholars of a given century, also has a separate title. Three sections have been published so far: Nawabe? al-rowwat fi rabe?at al-me?at (Beirut, 1390/1970), dealing with Shi?ite traditionists of the 4th Islamic century; al-Keram al-mobarrara fi'l-qarn al-?ale? ba?d al-?asara (Najaf, 1374-77/1954-57), on scholars of the 13th century; and Noqaba? al-basar fi'l-qarn al-rabe? ?asar (Najaf, 1373-88/1953-68), on scholars of the 14th century (?akimi, pp. 549-51). In addition to these multi-volume works, Aqa Bozorg wrote a number of less voluminous books, including a survey of some 600 biographers of Shi?ite traditionists, Mo?affa 'l-maqal fi mo?annefi al-rejal (Tehran, 1337 S./1958); a biography of Mirza ?asan Sirazi, Hadiyat al-razi ela 'l-mojadded al-Sirazi (Najaf, 1392/1972, Pers. tr., Mirza-ye Sirazi, Tehran, 1362/1983); a polemic against Sunni concept of ejtehad, Tawzi? al-rasad fi ta?ri? ?a?r al-ejtehad (unpublished); and a defense of the textual integrity of the Koran, al-Naqd al-la?if fi nafy al-ta?rif ?an al-Qor?an al-sarif (unpublished); and a brief biography of Shaikh Abu Ja?far ?usi (Zendagani-e Say? ?usi, Tehran, 1360 S.

New New Turkish Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 21 cm). In Turkish. 387 p., ills. and documents. Belgelerle Istanbul Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesinde mülteci bilim adamlari. Collected biographies of German Jewish emigres professors teaching at Istanbul University during WW2. Numerrous studies have been conducted on those refugee scientists who took charge in various science, education and culture institutions of the country particularly including Istanbul University. Comprehensive studies both on the university reform and on the scientists who came to Turkey following this reform and worked particularly on basic sciences, medicine and architecture are available. However those studies conducted on the refugee scientists who came to Istanbul University. Faculty of Letters so far are more restricted in both quantitative and qualitative terms.

Biographies and scientific works of twenty-four scientists who took charge in Istanbul University, Faculty of Letters after 1933 have been examined on the basis of original documents.
Acquaforte e bulino, circa 1749, firmata in lastra in basso a destra. Da un dipinto di Tiziano Vecellio.Intorno al 1749 fu deciso di ripubblicare le tavole eseguite da Lefevre per il famoso set "Opera Selectiora". A causa di un cambiamento nel gusto e perché si erano consumati, le lastre vennero ritoccate con lavori di rifinitura di artisti come Giuseppe Waggner e Johann Gottfried Saiter o completamente rifatti. La raccolta venne pubblicata come "Le opere scelte dipinte da Tiziano Vecellio di Cadore, e da Paolo Cagliari di Verona" (Venezia, 1749). Una seconda edizione, con l'aggiunta di opere della collezione di Lovisa, fu pubblicata da Teodoro Viero (Venezia, 1786) con un titolo diverso: "Raccolta di Opere Scelte Dipinte da Tiziano Vecellio, Antonio Regillo detto il Pordenone, Giacomo Robusti detto il Tintoretto, Paolo Calliari Veronese, Dario Varotari detto il Padoanino, Li Bassani, Giacomo Palma, Giuseppe Salviati, e vari altri celebri Maestri della Scola Veneziana, che fiorirono ne 'tempi posteriori. Disegnate, ed Incise in parte Da Valentino Le Febre Di Bruxelles, ed in parte Da Silvestro Manaigo, e da Andrea Zucchi Veneti ".Bellissima prova, con margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Allegory on the three ages of man, after Titian; landscape with in the right foreground, seated on the ground, a naked young man and a woman playing pipe, on the left a winged putto stepping over two sleeping children, and beyond an old man contemplating a skull. The painting is now in the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh.From 'Raccolta Di Opere Scelte'.Around 1749 it was decided that the plates executed by Lefevre for the famous "Opera Selectiora" set were to be republished. Because of a change in taste, and because they had worn off, the plates were either retouched with burin work by artists such as Giuseppe Waggner and Johann Gottfried Saiter, or completely remade. The set was published as "Le opere scelte dipinte da Tiziano Vecellio di Cadore, e da Paolo Cagliari di Verona" (Venice, 1749). A second edition, with added plates from the collection of Lovisa, was published by Teodoro Viero (Venice, 1786) under a different title: "Raccolta Di Opere Scelte Dipinte da Tiziano Vecellio, Antonio Regillo detto il Pordenone, Giacomo Robusti detto il Tintoretto, Paolo Calliari Veronese, Dario Varotari detto il Padoanino, Li Bassani, Giacomo Palma, Giuseppe Salviati, e varj altri celebri Maestri della Scola Veneziana, che fiorirono ne' tempi posteriori. Disegnate, ed Incise in parte Da Valentino Le Febre Di Bruxelles, ed in parte Da Silvestro Manaigo, e da Andrea Zucchi Veneti".
