Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Modern black cloth, Arabic lettered gilt on spine. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 207 p. First edition of this extremely rare Turkish book, including Qirimi's first-hand account of the Prut War and Treaty (1711) and the defense of the city he participated in during the Russian invasion of Crimea (1735-36). The book was translated into Ottoman Turkish and edited by Turkish turcologist and soldier Necib Asim Yaziksiz, (1861-1935), with annotations, from the original work titled "Umdet al-Akhbar" [i.e. The principle of the news]. Abdulgaffar Qirimi was a Crimean scholar who lived in the Crimean Khanate in the first half of the 18th century and served in various government positions. Qirimi dedicated his work to Genghis Khan, the Golden Horde, and the Crimean Khanate. He reported many original details and, especially for the 18th century, his information is authentic and based on personal descriptions. The main part of the work is devoted to the Golden Horde (starting from Genghis Khan and his descendants), Crimean Khanate, Gerayids, and murzas. When Abdulgaffar Qirimi wrote a history of the descendants of Jochi Khan, he used in his book more than 20 historical works as sources. He stated the names of these works and indicated where he got this or that information. At the same time, he had access to the archives of the Crimean Khanate and used his family legends as well as popular traditions. Plenty of space in his work occupies his own observations as a participant in military campaigns and court life. His work concerning khans Berke, Tokhta, Uzbek, Tokhtamish, and Ulugh Muhammad reflects the popular version and is based on the oral historiography of the Tatars. The Russo-Ottoman War of 1710-1711, also known as the Prut River Campaign, was a brief military conflict between the Tsardom of Russia and the Ottoman Empire. The main battle took place during 18-22 July 1711 in the basin of the Pruth river near Stanile?ti (Stanilesti) after Tsar Peter I invaded Ottoman Moldavia, following the Ottoman Empire's declaration of war on Russia. The ill-prepared 38,000 Russians with 5,000 Moldavians, found themselves surrounded by 200,000 Turks under Grand Vizier Baltaci Mehmet Pasha. After three days of fighting and heavy casualties, the Tsar and his armies were allowed to withdraw after agreeing to abandon the fortress of Azov and its surrounding territory. The Ottoman victory led to the Treaty of the Prut which was confirmed by the Treaty of Adrianople. Özege 21999.; TBTK 479.; OCLC 281773486.

Very Good Arabic Early edition of this critical edition of Saad Zagloul's memoirs prepared by Mustafa al-Nahhas Jabr Pasha. Zaghloul was an Egyptian revolutionary and statesman, who was the leader of Egypt's nationalist Wafd Party. He served as Prime Minister of Egypt from 26 January 1924 to 24 November 1924. By working as a Europeanized lawyer, Zaghloul gained both wealth and status in a traditional framework of upward mobility. Despite this, Zaghloul success can equally be attributed to his familiarity with the Egyptian countryside and its many idioms. In 1918, he became politically active, as the founding leader of the Wafd Party, for which he was later arrested. Zaghloul became increasingly active in nationalist movements, and in 1919 he led an official Egyptian delegation (or wafd, the name of the political party he would later form) to the Paris Peace Conference demanding that the United Kingdom formally recognize the independence and unity of Egypt and Sudan (which had been united as one country under Muhammad Ali Pasha). The British in turn demanded that Zaghloul end his political agitation. When he refused, they exiled him to Malta, and later to Seychelles. In 1922, he was moved from Seychelles and was taken to Gibraltar due to ill health arriving there onboard HMS Curlew and he was released in 1923. Zaghloul's absence caused disturbances in Egypt, ultimately leading to the Egyptian Revolution of 1919. Upon his return from exile, Zaghloul led the Egyptian nationalist forces. Mu??afâ al-Nahhâs Pasha, (1879-1965), a statesman who, as the leader of the nationalist Wafd party, was a dominant figure in Egyptian politics until the revolution of 1952. A lawyer by profession, Na??âs was appointed a judge in the National Court at ?an?â in 1914. Soon after World War I he joined the recently formed Wafd; he was exiled with Sa'd Zaghlul in the early 1920s, and assumed the chairmanship upon Zaghlul's death in 1927. An imitation leather bdg., Arabic lettered gilt on front board. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Arabic. 280, [2] p., a portrait of Zaghloul, b/w ills. Offset lithography.

Abû-Muhammad Muslih al-Dîn bin Abdallâh Shîrâzî, (1193-1292), Persian poet and prose writer, widely recognized as one of the greatest masters of the classical literary tradition. His influence is not limited to Persian literature. He also deeply affected Turkish and Urdu literature and the Western world (Encyclopadiae Iranica). Bostan [i.e. the Orchard] and Gulistan [i.e. the Rose Garden], his famous Works, were translated into many languages and commented. Pendname is one of Sa'dî's poetical works. In this ethical-based work, ethical values such as science, justice, consenting to fate, honesty, patience, generosity, modesty, and grace are praised. Bad habits such as talking to ignorant, cruelty, lie, arrogance, and stinginess are badly criticized. The Persian text of Sa'dî's Pendname, it's an English translation, and Ottoman Turkish translation in verse were printed together in the early 20th century. The work is about some moral characteristics that are seen as "acceptable and submissive" in societies and have been recited with the idea of benefiting people.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript (handwritten) letter (ALS) signed 'Nafia Vekili Behiç' [i. e. Minister of Public Works, Behiç [Erkin]]. 21x14,5 cm. In Ottoman script. 1 p. Dated February 19, 1928. Written from Ankara. Letterhead 'Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devlet Demiryollari Vekâleti [Ministry of Turkish Republic Railways]'. To an un-named female correspondent. Behiç Erkin was a Turkish career officer, first director (1920-1926) of the Turkish State Railways, nationalized under his auspices, statesman and diplomat of the Turkish Republic, who helped save almost 20,000 ethnic Jews in France during World War II. He was Minister of Public Works, 1926-1928, and deputy for three terms; and an ambassador. He served as Turkey's ambassador to Budapest between 1928-1939, and to Paris and Vichy between August 1939-August 1943. As Turkish ambassador in France under the German Occupation after June 1940, Erkin used the power of his office and nation's neutrality to save Jews who could document a Turkish connection, however slight, from the Holocaust. Other Turkish diplomats in France and elsewhere, were also active in this rescue effort. The consulate staff under Necdet Kent in Marseille was particularly involved.
Very Good Turkish Original typescript court document with autograph signatures of judge and two members of TC Istanbul Third Court. (32x21 cm). In Modern Turkish. 1 p. 10 stamps on front and verso of the paper. The Karamanli dynasty was an early modern dynasty, independent or quasi-independent, which ruled from 1711 to 1835 in Tripolitania. The territory comprised Tripoli and its surroundings in present-day Libya. At its peak, the Karamanli dynasty's influence reached Cyrenaica and Fezzan, covering most of Libya. The founder of the dynasty was Pasha Ahmed Karamanli, a descendant of the Karamanids. The most well-known Karamanli ruler was Yusuf ibn Ali Karamanli Pasha who reigned from 1795 to 1832, who fought a war with the United States in (1801-1805). Ali II Karamanli marked the end of the dynasty. By 1819, the various treaties of the Napoleonic Wars had forced the Barbary states to give up piracy almost entirely, and Tripolitania's economy began to crumble. Yusuf attempted to compensate for lost revenue by encouraging the trans-Saharan slave trade, but with abolitionist sentiment on the rise in Europe and to a lesser degree the United States, this failed to salvage Tripolitania's economy. As Yusuf weakened, factions sprung up around his three sons; though Yusuf abdicated in 1832 in favor of his son Ali II, civil war soon resulted. Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II sent in troops ostensibly to restore order, but instead deposed and exiled Ali II, marking the end of both the Karamanli dynasty and an independent Tripolitania. A descendant family with the same name still exists in modern Tripoli-Libya. This document shows distribution of Tripoli Governor Ali Pasha's succession who died in 1269 [1853] by Turkish court order. There is many successors mentioned on this document from sons of Ali Pasha's to Ziya Pasha and his wife etc. Court order has 24 lines and signatures. Dated on the stamp is June, 11, 1930.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original cloth bdg. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script. 188 p., ills. Lithograph. Divân-i Âsik Yunus Emre. [On 'derkenar'] Kenzü'l-miftah ve Serh-i Kaside-i Yunus Emre. Yunus Emre was a sufi poet in 13th century. The information on his life is fragmentary, based on what he writes in his Diwan and on stories told within the Bektashi tradition. He is the author of a Diwan. This Diwan contains 417 poems, all of which bar one are ghazals. He mostly used the Turkic system of versifying, based on the number of syllables and stress position rather than the elaborate rules of Arab-Persian prosody. He used the Old Anatolian Turkish language, which was understood by everyone in its period, with very few Arabic or Persian words, and he contributed greatly to the establishment of a Turkish mystical vocabulary based on classic Sufi terms. The most recurrent themes in Yunus Emre's Diwan are mystic love(âsk), the Friend (dost), and how to be a dervish. Yet he is no recluse and the conditions of everyday life are reflected in his poems. His easily understandable religious and moral advice is couched in a lyrical language that is heartfelt, sincere and often highly passionate. His poetry, set to music, was of central importance in the dissemination of Sufi teachings in Anatolia, and influenced the tekke poetry of the following centuries. The intense religious and humane feeling in his poetry has not lost its appeal today. (Source: A history of Seljuks, Ibrahim Kafesoglu). On derkenar text, there's 'Kenzü'l mifta hby Erzincanî Terzi Baba and annotation of 'qasidah' by Yunus Emre. Erzincanî's verse "Kenzil Fütuh" composed of his Sufi and mystic poems was compiled and transferred into verse by Haci Hafiz Mehmed Rüsdi Efendi and published as "Kenzü'l-miftah". It is very important poetry book on sufism and Islamic mysticism. This book is printed by Raif Yelkenci, (1894-1974) who was a Turkish early antiquarian bookseller and manuscript dealer in Antiquarian Bazaar, Beyazit. He was specialist on Yunus Emre and his poems.
