As New English Original bdg. In publisher's original slip-case. Elephant folio. (66 x 50 cm). In French and English. Color and b/w ills. 144 p., 49 plates., 3 maps. Another superb facsimile edition of a very rare book by Ertug & Kocabiyik. In 1795 the Alsace-born Antoine Ignace Melling, who had come to Constantinople to seek his fortunes, was appointed imperial architect by the Ottoman Sultan Selim III. During his tenure in that position, he also designed and landscaped a seaside palace for Selim's sister, Princess Hatice. While in Constantinople, Melling executed a number of astonishing panoramic views of the city and its environs.Melling returned to Paris in about 1803. In 1809 he set up an engraving studio for the purpose of reproducing these drawings. The completed images were published as a series of fascicles that were sent out to subscribers. The last one appeared in 1819. The Ertug & Kocabiyik facsimile edition of the complete book is produced from the original "elephant folio", an unfolded first edition in the collection of Ahmet Ertug. The technical aspects of the project were done under the supervision of Mr. Ertug in Switzerland by some of the world's leading facsimile specialists. This outstanding facsimile edition is available in two different bindings. One is bound in sturdy Japanese cloth and the other is a very limited edition of only 50 copies bound in leather that is intended for connoisseurs of exceptionally fine books. The binding and decoration of all the leather-bound copies were done by hand. The book measures 50 by 66 cms. The foldout image plates are 65 by 97 cms. There are 48 views of Constantinople in the late 18th century and also three maps. The publishers also offer an edition of the unfolded image plates presented in a leather-bound case. Only 25 copies of this version have been produced. The text for this edition is bound separately and presented in a pocket in the leather case. The descriptions of the views in the facsimile edition are in the original French and an English translation is also provided. The Ertug & Kocabiyik facsimile edition of "Voyage pittoresque" is an outstanding achievement and one that is certain to appeal to collectors of rare books and to those who admire beautiful art objects.

No. 46 OF 50 SPECIALLY BOUND COPIES of a total edition of 350. 670 x 508 mm. 26 3/8 x 20". 3 p.l. 10 pp. 63 leaves. <br/> Publisher's scarlet morocco by Buchbinderei Burkhardt AG covers with gilt-rolled border cornerpieces tooled in gilt upper cover with gilt calligraphic Arabic centerpiece lower cover with gilt central heraldic device marbled endleaves all edges gilt. With a portrait frontispiece of Emperor Selim III 48 DOUBLE-PAGE PLATES AND THREE DOUBLE-PAGE MAPS. ◆A virtually as-new copy.<br/> <br/> This is one of the deluxe copies of a modern facsimile of Melling's massive and magnificently illustrated work devoted to 18th century Constantinople a book that provided the earliest interior views and plans of the harems and palaces of Sultan Selim III when it was published in 1819. The illustrations remain the best and certainly most attractive record we have of the city during this era in its history. Our edition was produced from a copy of the elephant folio first printing in the collection of the facsimile's publisher Ahmet Ertug with images faithfully reproduced in their original mammoth size 650 x 970 mm. After his arrival in Constantinople in 1795 architect and painter Antoine Ignace Melling 1763-1831 was appointed imperial architect by Selim III. In the course of his duties he designed and landscaped a seaside palace for Selim's sister Princess Hatice and produced these striking panoramic views of the city and its environs. After completing the palace and a number of other building projects for Selim he returned to Paris and in 1804 issued a prospectus for this work. He established an engraving studio in 1809 to reproduce these drawings and began publishing the completed prints as a series of fascicles that were sent to subscribers. The last one appeared in 1819. The outstanding success of an exhibition of the paintings on which the "Voyage Pittoresque" was based earned Melling the rank of painter to the Empress Josephine. When "Voyage Pittoresque" was originally published booksellers in England sold copies for £84 a huge sum for a book at the time. The original edition in pleasing condition now fetches between $75000 and $100000. Our handsomely bound actual size facsimile offers an attractively priced alternative. Ertug & Kocabiyuk unknown

1875170484Constantinople c.1875. A superb photographic panorama A panoramic 360-degree view of the city. Towards the Golden Horn the Topkapi Palace and the city's great mosques can be seen including Hagia Sophia the Blue Mosque the Yeni Mosque and the Süleymaniye. Panoramas of this period usually favour the Galata Tower as a vantage point. The view is unsigned though likely from the studios of Pascal Sébah and Policarpe Joaillier or the Swede Guillaume Berggren. Both are renowned for their handsome panoramas of the city. In 1857 Sébah opened one of the first photographic studios in Constantinople. The business was taken over by his son Jean in 1883 who styled himself J. Pascal Sébah and went on to become a talented photographer in his own right. In 1888 he partnered with Policarpe Joaillier their firm becoming the official photographers of the Sultan. "From the 1870s Sébah and Joaillier were major suppliers of evocative imagery to the increasing number of people who undertook the Victorian Grand Tour" Hannavy p. 1261. Berggren moved to Constantinople in 1866 and opened his studio on Grand Rue de Pera in the early 1870s. His oeuvre included studio work a remarkable series of documentary portraits of working people and the eternalising of the construction of the Anatolian Railway. Oblong quarto concertina 290 x 255 mm. Comprising 8 mounted albumen prints each 165 x 248 mm together approximately 165 x 1984 mm mounts captioned in manuscript red and blue ink.

Oblong folio 16 by 12 inches 30 photochrom images each measuring approximately 9 by 6-1/2 inches and mounted on heavy cardstock; original red velvet blue silk gilt-lettered title centerpiece on front cover brass cornerpieces. $4500.Rare photographic album of Constantinople circa 1890 by the renowned studio of Photochrom Zürich with 30 beautiful mounted vintage photochrom color prints offering exceptional views of majestic mosques palaces and plazas as well as the people of this great city in magnificent velvet binding with brass furniture.This splendid souvenir album of Constantinople contains exquisite color photographic prints of images taken at the turn of the 20th century produced by the revolutionary photochrom process. Photochrom also called the Aäc process is ""a very successful form of color photolithography developed in the late 19th century by the Swiss firm of Orell Füssli and used mainly for topographical views; photochroms have almost the appearance of color photographs but through a glass will show a delicate ink pattern which was achieved by a combination of photographic and manual work on grained i.e. lithographic stones being a forerunner therefore of modern screenless offset lithography"" Gascoigne 206. In this process black and white photographic negatives were directly transferred onto lithographic printing plates to produce color prints. These photographs are a high point in late 19th-century photography when albums such as these captivated a world newly spellbound ""by photography's capacity to 'take them there' and bring them directly in contact with the long ago and far away"" Parr & Badger I:18. Each image captioned with a four-digit number followed by ""P.Z."" for Photochrom Zürich and then the title of the scene in French. A few instances of marginal spotting to mounts; photochrom prints clean and fine with vivid colors. Binding splendid. An about-fine copy of this lovely album. unknown
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript autograph handwritten document sealed 'Hüsrev Mehmed' sent to (and responded by) Serkâtib Mustafa. Written in special paper with 'ahar'. 39x21 cm. In Ottoman script. Slightly tear on folded place and slightly stains. Otherwise a very good manuscript paper. The document was written in accordance with the Ottoman state correspondence tradition prior to modernization. However, it is an indication of modernization that it is written to the serkâtib of Humâyûn (head clerk of the Ottoman / Turkish court) and not to the Sultan directly. The importance of this document is that it has many hints of modernization movements of the last period of Empire, depiction of the division of the first modern Ottoman army (Asakir-i Mansure-i Muhammediye) that's before one year of Egyptian Campaign by Koca Husrev Pasha and before eight years of proclamation of Reform (Tanzimat) and after only 22 years of Turkish Magna Carta (Sened-i Ittifak). Husrev Pasha was 'serasker' (commandant and head) of Assakir-i Mansure-i Muhammediye Army in that year. Husrev's text starts as 'Devletlü, inayetlü, atufetlü, oglum.." in 'Elqab'. In the Ottoman diplomacy, first person who used 'oglum' [i.e. my son] in elqab of the documents was Koca Hüsrev Pasha. (Source: Osmanli Arsiv Belgeleri, Orhan Sakin). Koca Hüsrev Pasha (Khosrew Pasha) was an Ottoman Kapudan Pasha ("Grand Admiral") of the Ottoman Navy and statesman who reached the position of Grand Vizier rather late in his career, between 2 July 1839 and 8 June 1840 in the reign of Abdülmecid I. However, during the 1820s, he occupied key administrative roles in the fight against regional warlords, the reformation of the army, and the reformation of Turkish attire. In 1801, Hüsrev Pasha commanded the 6,000 Ottoman troops who assisted the British in removing the French from Rashid (Rosetta). For this, he was made governor of Egypt Eyalet (province), in which position he was charged with assisting Hüseyin Pasha in the killing or imprisoning the surviving leaders of the Mamluks. Many of these were freed by or fled with the British, while others held Minia between Upper and Lower Egypt. [.] He was later made governor again by Muhammad Ali for 2 days [.] After Diyarbekir and Salonica, in 1806 he was governor of Bosnia Eyalet, before being reappointed as governor of Salonica in 1808. Hüsrev Pasha held the rank of Kapudan Pasha of the Ottoman Navy from 1811 to 1818. He was then appointed governor of the Eyalet of Trabzon twice, during which time he conducted for the Black Sea region of Turkey the struggle the central Ottoman state was waging against local feudal rulers (Derebeys). During the Greek War of Independence, he was appointed Kapudan Pasha again in the end of 1822. In 1826, Husrev Pasha played vital roles both in the Auspicious Incident (the annihilation of the Janissary Corps in 1826) and in the formation of the new "Mansure Army" modeled after those of European Powers. Appointed as seraskier (commander the army) of the Mansure in May 1827, Husrev reformed and disciplined the corps. Himself ignorant of modern military methods, he assembled a staff of foreign experts and other personnel to assist him, the "Seraskeriye", which constituted the first staff in Ottoman history. Due to his early championing of military reform and virtual control over the new Ottoman army, Husrev was able to install many of his protégés in senior military positions. Husrev Pasha was also instrumental for the near-abandonment of the turban and the adoption of the fez as a universal headgear for Muslim men of the Ottoman Empire (excluding the religious classes) under Sultan Mahmud II. (Wikipedia). Möltke talks about him in famous book includes his personal letters as 'he is more powerful than sultan'. Following the suppression of the Janissaries in 1826, Sultan Mahmud II transferred the functions of the old Agha of the Janissaries to the seraskier.

Theology and ecclesiastical history are also very fully represented but poetry and ancient philosophy are almost entirely ignored. It seems that he did not think it necessary to deal with those authors with whom every well-educated man would naturally be familiar. The literary criticisms generally distinguished by keen and independent judgment and the excerpts vary considerably in length. The numerous biographical notes are probably taken from the work of Hesychius of Miletus" Wikipedia article on Photius. Hoffmann III 91; Sarton I 594. </p> . Christoph Mang unknown

Very Good French Contemporary 1/4 leather bdg. with marbled boards. Small 4to. (27 x 19 cm). 23 p. (11 p. in Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters; 12 p. in French), with rare 4 folded maps. A very good copy. First and only edition of this extremely rare bilingual book in French and Ottoman Turkish, including the first records on the formation and characteristics of storms to explain how storms and hurricanes occurred, which route they followed, and how they were conveyed to the regions that need to be warned by telegraph, for the vessels sailing in the seas, by French expert Coumbary who was founded the Rasathâne-i Âmîre [i.e. Ottoman Imperial Observatory]. Both the original French and Turkish translations of the work were published together in one volume. The work also included four maps which were drawn for this work only. The first map shows the movement of a storm that occurred on March 8, 1865, the second one shows the occurrence between the Tropic Cancer and Capricorn whirlwinds, storms in the Atlas and Indian oceans, the movements in the Bay of Bengal, the storms in different directions in the China Sea, the Gulfstream, Grönland, and Azores. The second observatory in the Ottoman era was established for meteorology. Before this center was established, beginning from the Reformation (1839), many meteorological observatories were built by foreigners in various cities such as Istanbul, Smyrna, Trebizond, Tekirdag, and Merzifon both as private and public establishments. The very first known temperature readings are the meteorological observations made by the Priest Dalmas at the St. Benôit monastery between 1839-1847. Later William Lane, an Englishman who came to Istanbul during the Crimean War, made observations at the British Cemetery at Haydarpasa. W. Noe, director of the Mekteb-i Fünûn-u Sahane made observations at the house in Kalyoncukulluk where he lived until the Beyoglu Fire in 1848; and finally, it is known that French engineer Ritter, who was invited by the government for waterworks in Kuruçesme (1856-1860) also conducted meteorological observations. Observations on precipitation and humidity conducted between 1875-1892 by an amateur observer on the Thomson Farm in Erenköy are invaluable on the subject of Istanbul's climate. These observations have been published in Budapest in 1928. Excellent observations on heat, pressure, and humidity, made in the summer residence of the Russian ambassador on Büyükada have also been published, in Annales St. Petersburg. In 1858, the French government established the first observatory communicating data over the telegraph, and in 1863, by compiling meteorological data in France, the French National Meteorological Network started operations. In 1868, upon the recommendation of the French government, the Rasathane-i Âmire was founded to convey meteorological forecasts to certain centers by telegraph. Instruments were purchased from leading European factories, and operations started on top of a hill 74 meters high on Pera. The first director was Mr. Aristide Coumbray, who came to Istanbul to renovate the telegraph network. (Instruments commissioned from France were set up at Mr. Coumbary's home, which stood at the garden of the Swedish Embassy. The observatory was later moved after its offices were prepared.) Coumbary represented Turkey in the first international meteorology congress, convened in Wien five years later in 1873. Rasathane-i Âmire worked by the same system as the National Meteorology Center in France. In the observation books of 1868 (August-November), names of affiliated stations are given to us Soulina, Köstence (Constantia), Varna, Burgaz, Valona, Elbasan, Durazzo, and Beirut. Later, stations in Izmir, Diyarbakir, Baghdad, and Fao were also added. The observatory founded by Aristide Coumbary in 1868 in Istanbul, operated until the end of the First World War.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) In contemporary Ottoman quarter burgundy leather bdg. with red boards. Gilt lettering of the title with some decorative elements and four raised bands to the spine. Large roy. 8vo. (25 x 16 cm). In Ottoman script. 2 volumes set: (310 p.; 264 p). Hadikatû'-l cevâmî. 2 volumes set. [= Hadiqatul-gewami = The garden of the mosques]. Occasionally foxing on boards, slight stains on paper. Otherwise a very good copy. First edition of this rare monumental two-volume set in which an inventory is kept of almost all architectural buildings such as mosques, masjids, fountains, schools, and lodges in Ottoman Istanbul and its surroundings, built since Sultan Mehmet II up to 1768, in a traveler style, by Ayvansarayî, who was hafiz and janissary sekban who lived in the 18th century. "This excellent book has an extremely important place in the literature not only in terms of architectural works and topography but also as a historical source of Constantinople". (Hammer). Long recognized by Turkish scholars as a unique source of Istanbul's architecture and urban form, the text, which was started in 1182 (1768-69) and completed in 1195/1780 and revised and enlarged between 1248/1832-33 and 1253/1838 by Ali Sati, son of Mahmud Efendi, one of the judges of Medina, contains separate descriptions of each of Istanbul's more than 800 mosques, plus accounts of its madrasahs, tombs, tekkes and other monuments. The annotations place each of these buildings within the city's urban plan and provide biographical information about the patrons, architects, and other personalities mentioned in the text. Ayvansarayi's original text, which survives in a number of manuscript copies, was enlarged in the 1830s by Ali Sati Efendi, whose reworking was published in print in 1865 and has thus become the best-known version of the Hadika. (Crane). The author, who first visited the mosques and masjids inside the city walls in a topographic order, then examined the ones outside the city walls, then discussed Eyüp, Galata, both sides of the Bosphorus, Üsküdar (Scutari), Kadiköy (Khalkedon) mosques and masjids. After giving the name of the building in each article, if a mosque was transformed from the church, he noted this issue and recorded the name of the person who had it built. If known, he also indicates where this person's grave is located. Detailed info about the restoration of the architectural building has been restored. And he gives detailed information on additional facilities such as a public fountain, sebil, school, madrasah, and in some cases the people who lie in its burial ground, with brief information about the foundation of this charitable building. Hegira 1281 = Gregorian 1865. Özege 6565.; Thirteen copies in the US libraries according to the OCLC.
Very Good Bulgarian Original blue cloth bdg. with embossing. Slightly stains on boards and toned on pages. Otherwise a very good copy. 12mo. (16,5 x 12 cm). In Bulgarian. 1230, [2] p. [HOLY BOOK IN BULGARIAN PRINTED IN TSARIGRAD (CONSTANTINOPLE)] Bibliia sirech sveshtenoto pisanie na Vetkhiia i Noviia zavet: Viarno i tochno prevedena ot pûrvoobraznoto. [.] In 1840 5,000 copies of the first complete translation of the New Testament were printed in Smyrna by the British and Foreign Bible Society. A second edition which was printed in Smyrna in 1850 was an almost exact reprint of the 1840 edition. A third edition followed in 1853 with 15,000 copies. The fourth edition was published in 1857 in Bucharest, and for the first time civil characters type was used. In 1859, two more editions were published. In 1866, a new "pocket" edition with text revised by Elias Riggs and Dr. Albert Long was printed in Constantinople. The New Testament was revised and reprinted a total of nine times. In the period from 1840 to 1860 the Eastern (Tarnovo) dialect was adopted as literary Bulgarian language and the Macedonian dialect, in which the New Testament had been translated, was widely rejected. By 1858 Neofit Rilski had finished large portion of the Old Testament. Riggs met with Neofit Rilski and discussed a possible revision of the Bulgarian New Testament to remove the Macedonian dialect elements. Neofit objected the revision, so Riggs took the translation and returned to Constantinople. In January 1859 Riggs invited the Bulgarian teacher Hristodul Kostovich to help him with the revision. In 1862 Long and Riggs visited the noted Bulgarian writer and poet Petko Rachov Slaveykov in Tryavna. Slaveykov agreed to help with the translation and began the work on the revising of Neofit's New Testament at once. Long joined the revision of the New Testament into the Eastern dialect in 1863 and later assisted with the translation of the Old Testament. In June 1871, after more than 12 years of revision and translation, 36,000 copies of the complete Bible translation in Bulgarian were published in Constantinople. The translation came to be known as the "Tsarigrad (Constantinople) Edition". Tsarigrad [or; Tsargrad, Tzargrad, Czargrad] Tsargrad is a Slavic name for the city or land of Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, and present-day Istanbul in Turkey.

First and only edition of this extremely rare bilingual book in French and Ottoman Turkish including the first records on the formation and characteristics of storms to explain how storms and hurricanes occurred which route they followed and how they were conveyed to the regions that need to be warned by telegraph for the vessels sailing in the seas by French expert Coumbary who was founded the Rasathâne-i Âmîre i.e. Ottoman Imperial Observatory. Both the original French and Turkish translations of the work were published together in one volume. The work also included four maps which were drawn for this work only. The first map shows the movement of a storm that occurred on March 8 1865 the second one shows the occurrence between the Tropic Cancer and Capricorn whirlwinds storms in the Atlas and Indian oceans the movements in the Bay of Bengal the storms in different directions in the China Sea the Gulfstream Grönland and Azores. The second observatory in the Ottoman era was established for meteorology. Before this center was established beginning from the Reformation 1839 many meteorological observatories were built by foreigners in various cities such as Istanbul Smyrna Trebizond Tekirdag and Merzifon both as private and public establishments.
