Osman Sevki Uludag was a Turkish soldier, doctor (radiologist), medical historian, composer, deputy, writer. He was born in Bursa. He is the eponym of 'Uludag', where he reached the top by performing the first climb in the history of the republic in 1925. Osman Sevki Bey attended the travel of Members of the Geography Council which consisted of teachers, in Bursa in 1925. He made the first climb in the history of the Republic by climbing to the summit of the 2545 meters high Monk Mountain. He was impressed by the majesty of the mountain and suggested that the name of the mountain be changed to "Uludag"; When his offer was accepted, he was the eponym of the mountain. When the Surname Law was enacted in 1934, he has taken 'Uludag' as his surname. He published his researches on Bursa, "Bursa and Uludag", "Yesil Mosque" and "Monks and Dervishes of Uludag".

This first reissue of the 'old' edition was invoked by popular demand following the uncomfortable introduction of the New & Revised Edition of 1904. It reproduces the full contents of the best (second augmented) edition of 1889 including the supplemental hymns added at that date. A lovely copy of a nostalgic edition, preserving many traditional melodies and choral parts. Very scarce in anything like this condition.

Captured several times by the S.S. and forced to witness the mass execution of thousands of his people, he was both resourceful and determined enough to escape each time and eventually reached Hungary.
