Partly uncut and untrimmed. Hilye-i Hakanî. AH: 1307 = AD: 1890. The term hilya denotes both a visual form in Ottoman art and a religious genre of Ottoman Turkish literature each dealing with the physical description of Muhammad. Hilya literally means "ornament". They originate with the discipline of shama'il the study of Muhammad's appearance and character based on hadith accounts most notably Tirmidhi's al-Shama'il al-Muhamadiyyah wa al-Khasa'il al-Mustafawiyyah "The Sublime Characteristics of Muhammad". In Ottoman-era folk Islam there was a belief that reading and possessing Muhammad's description protects the person from trouble in this world and the next it became customary to carry such descriptions rendered in fine calligraphy and illuminated as amulets. In 17th-century Ottoman Turkey hilyes developed into an art form with a standard layout often framed and used as a wall decoration. Later hilyes were also written for the first four Caliphs the companions of Muhammad Muhammad's grandchildren Hasan and Hussein and Islamic saints walis. Mehmed Hakani Beg's 'Hilye' is one of the first example of the 'hilye' literature in the Turkish / Ottoman world. Özege 7631.; Not in TBTK It has earlier and later editions. <br/> <br/> N. p.

186743456London Taylor and Francis 1867. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" Vol. 157 - Part I. Titlepage to volume 155 and pp. 49-88. Titlepage with minor light browning at corners. Internally clean. A small stamp on verso of titlepage. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this seminal paper in its full version from "Transactions" representing the announcement of Maxwell's final "Theory of Gases" and introduces the "Maxwell Distribution" in its final form a statistical means of describing aspects of the kinetic theory of gases a theory together with his electromagnetic theory are considered to be SOME OF THE GREATEST ADVANCES IN PHYSICS OF ALL TIMES. Everett considers this paper 1868 to be Maxwell's greatest single paper. Maxwell's discoveries laid the foundations of special relativity and quantum mechanics.One of Maxwell's major investigations was on the kinetic theory of gases. Originating with Daniel Bernoulli this theory was advanced by the successive labours of John Herapath John James Waterston James Joule and particularly Rudolf Clausius to such an extent as to put its general accuracy beyond a doubt; but it received enormous development from Maxwell who in this field appeared as an experimenter on the laws of gaseous friction as well as a mathematician.In 1866 he formulated statistically independently of Ludwig Boltzmann the Maxwell-Boltzmann kinetic theory of gases. His formula called the Maxwell distribution gives the fraction of gas molecules moving at a specified velocity at any given temperature. In the kinetic theory temperatures and heat involve only molecular movement. This approach generalized the previously established laws of thermodynamics and explained existing observations and experiments in a better way than had been achieved previously. Maxwell's work on thermodynamics led him to devise the Gedankenexperiment thought experiment that came to be known as Maxwell's demon. </em> unknown
