Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Extremely rare and first and only edition of this Cairo imprint book that suggested a uniform Hegira calendar for all Muslim nations. It's work on chronology as well, including a fine guide to converting Hijri and Gregorian calendars. Ahmed Muhtar was born on 1 November 1839 to a Turkish family in Bursa in the Ottoman Empire and was educated in the Ottoman Military College in Istanbul. His father was merchant Halil Efendi. He eventually became professor and then governor of the school. In 1856, he served as an adjutant during the Crimean War. In 1862, he was a staff officer in the disastrous Montenegrin campaign. Between 1870 and 1871, he quelled rebellions in Yemen. He gained the titles of Pasha and Marshal and, in 1873, was made commander of the Second Army Corps, holding the position until 1876. During the 1875 uprisings in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he assumed control of the Turkish forces there. On the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish War, 1877-1878, he was sent to take charge of operations in Erzurum. Although the Russians ultimately defeated the Ottomans in the war, Muhtar's victories against them in the eastern front won him the title Gazi ("The Victorious"). In 1879, Ahmed Muhtar Pasha was appointed the commander of the Ottoman Empire's frontier with Greece, before being sent in 1885 to serve as the Ottoman High Commissioner in Egypt.

Hardcover, 8vo, 22 cm. In German. SUBJECT (S) : Judaism -- Works to 1900. Judaism -- Doctrines. Reform Judaism. The first volume of this important journal, which ran a total of 6 volumes 1835-1847. Geiger (18101874) was a pioneer of the Wissenschaft des Judentums and founder of Reform Judaism . Geiger was born in Frankfurt am Main to an Orthodox family and received a traditional religious education. Already in his childhood, he began studying classical history, which gave rise to doubts concerning biblical claims to divine authority. At the age of 17, Geiger began writing a study of the Mishnah, differentiating its legal style from biblical and talmudic law, and a dictionary of Mishnaic Hebrew. The two journals he edited contain numerous articles of scholarly and theological significance: Wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift fuer juedische Theologie (183539) and Juedische Zeitschrift fuer Wissenschaft und Leben (186275) (Heschel in EJ 2007) .

2 volumes in-12, demi-maroquin rouge cerise de l’époque, dos lisses ornés de compartiments garnis d’un jeu de doubles filets et petits fers spéciaux répétés au centre, titre et tomaison dorés, tranches citron, viii, (2), 462 p. et (4), 422 p., portrait gravé en frontispice. Edition originale. Issu d'une famille de huguenots français réfugiés en Prusse, pasteur, professeur, journaliste, détenteur de la chaire de philosophie puis devenu doyen de l'Académie de Berlin, Johann Heinrich Samuel Formey (1711-1797) occupa une position clef dans l'Europe culturelle de son temps. Spécialiste et introducteur de Christian Wolff en France, défenseur modéré des Lumières, il fournit plusieurs articles à l'Encyclopédie (dont "Dieu") tout en entretenant des rapports parfois difficiles avec Voltaire et les Encyclopédistes. Cet ouvrage contient le recueil de vingt-deux essais philosophiques dont certains avaient paru séparément: la liberté, le sommeil, les songes ("l’un de ses écrits les plus remarquables"), le suicide, l'usure, la matière, le bonheur, les preuves de l'existence de Dieu, "la réformation de la justice", la "physique appliquée à la morale", etc. (Haag, V, p. 144, n° 54. Cf. E. Marcu, 'Un encyclopédiste oublié: J.-H.S. Formey'). Quelques brunissures et petites auréoles éparses. Bon exemplaire, bien relié à l’époque.
