Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original decorative 1/4 leather bdg. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In Ottoman script. 13, 2, 362 p., 1 plate, 17 numerous ills. [RARE OTTOMAN EDITION of COSMOGRAPHY by GILLEMIN & BRIEUX] Kozmografya yahud ilm-i ahvâl-i sema. Prep. and translated by Hasan Bedreddin. Amédée Guillemin was a French science writer and a journalist. Guillemin started his studies at Beaune college before taking his final degree in Paris. From 1850 to 1860 he taught mathematics in a private school while writing articles for the Liberal press criticizing the Second French Empire. In 1860, he moved to Chambéry where he became a junior deputy editor of the weekly political magazine La Savoie. After the annexation of Savoy by the French empire, he returned to Paris where he became the science editor of l'Avenir national (The Nation's Future). Guillemin presently started writing books of physics and astronomy which became very popular. He wrote "The Sky" which was translated into many languages. His major work, "The Physical World", consisted of five large volumes. His publisher, Hachette, encouraged him to write a series of booklets about astronomy and physics under the title "Small popular encyclopaedia", a scientifically sound but accessible collection about sciences and their applications. French astronomer Jacques Crovisier from the Observatoire de Paris suggests he may have been a source of inspiration for Jules Verne's 1865 novel, From the Earth to the Moon. Charles Auguste Briot was a French mathematician who worked on elliptic functions. The Académie des Sciences awarded him the Poncelet Prize in 1882. This is the rare translation of "Ele?ments de cosmographie" by Guillemin & Briot in the Turkish / Ottoman world. Second Edition. Özege 11206.; TBTK 11733.; Only two copies in OCLC: 949501098.

CEVRÎ IBRAHIM ÇELEBI, (1596-1654).MareMagnum

[ASTRONOMICAL PROPHECIES ON THE CALENDAR AND FORECAST IN PROSE] Malhâma-i Cevrî, aleyhi rahmet ül-Bârî. Calligraphed by Isfahanîzâde Mehmed Riza. [i.e. Cevrî's book of star prophecy].

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) In contemporary brown cloth bdg. with marbled boards. Spine re-backed masterfully. Minor fading on edges. Pages are clean. Demy 8vo. (21 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 178, [1] p. Litho. Melhame (c. Melâhim) as a term used to mean the great and bloody war that resulted in many casualties; the prophecies based on a prophecy on the future and destiny of the world, the universe, religions, states and societies, the astrologers making predictions based on astrology, and the saints based on discovery and inspiration; It means expressing big, important, terrible, horrible events or their symptoms that will take place in the future as well. In addition, melhâmes are weather forecasts based on meteorological observations. Daniel is said to be the originator of these works. Melhâmes are widespread in the Middle East, particularly in Mesopotamia. The most famous of melhâmes in Turkish is Yazici Salih's "Melhâme-i Semsiyye". This mathnawi [i.e. in prose], which is one of Cevri's well-known works, was composed of the rewriting of Semsiyye, written by Yazici Salih in 811 (1408), in 1044 (1635). This melhâme of Cevrî is smaller than the original (which is 4788 couplets) with its 3617 couplets, which include very interesting astrological and astronomical prophecies in prose. Cevrî Ibrahim Çelebi, (1596-1654), was a Mevlevî Turkish / Ottoman diwan poet and calligrapher. It has a decorative and ornamental head (serlevhâ) with traditional flowers including the calligraphic title "Melhâme-i Cevrî, aleyhi rahmet ül-Bârî", and it starts with Basmala. During the book, the text is separated into two blocks except for subheadings. Some pages have marginal texts and words originally. On the ketebe page, it's stated that the calligrapher of this book is Isfahanîzâde Mehmed Riza. A good example of lithography. Only two copies in OCLC (Harvard University, University of California, Los Angeles) 81057529.; National Library of Turkey 001255744.; TBTK 7482.

Light browning to a few margins. 2 plates with scattered brownspots otherwise clean and wide-margined. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of these fundamental paper in cosmology and physics as they contains the FIRST OBSERVATIONAL DATA TO SUPPORT THAT NEWTON'S DYNAMICAL LAWS HOLDS OUTSIDE THE SOLAR SYSTEM. Herschel shows here that the circulating motions of double-stars were under gravitational forces. Until then the validity of the law of gravity was only established within the solar system. Now a century after the establishment of the law it was traced out in the motion of incredibly distant stars and the theory first truly earned its title of Universal. The exact proof of the mutual gravitation of the double-stars was only obtained five years after Herschel's death when the motions of the stars were more precisely dtermined.One of the most notable of Herschel's discoveries of double-stars binary stars. A first cataloque of such pairs was published early in 1782 and contained 269 of which 227 were new discoveries. "Twenty years after the publication of his first cataloque Herschel was of Michell's opinion - Michell had expressed the opinion that the odds in favour of a physical relation between the members of Herschel's newly discovered double stars were "beyond arithmetic" - but was able to support it by evidence of an entirely novel and much more direct character. A series of observations of Castor presented in two papers in the "Philosophical Transaction" in 1803 and 1804 the paperS offered which were fortunately supplemented by an observation of Bradley's in 1759 had shewn a progressive alteration in the direction of the line joining its two components of such a character as to leave no doubt that the two stars were revolving round one another; and there were five oher cases in which a similar motion was observed.it was shown that the double-star was really formed by a connected pair of stars near enough to influence one another's mortion."Berry in "A Short History of Astronomy" pp. 342-43. </em> unknown

TOLOMEO Ptolomaeus, Claudius / HONTER, Johannes Ptolemaeus PtolomeusMareMagnum

Claudij Ptolemaei ... Omnia, quae extant, opera, Geographia excepta, quam seorsim quoque hac forma impressimus

In -folio, pp. (28), 511 (ma 482, mancano le ppp. 429-458, in questa copia sostituite con fogli bianchi), 2 tavole doppie, bella marca editoriale al colophon. Legatura in mezza pelle. Prima edizione molto rara dell’opera completa di Tolomeo tradotta in latino, a cura di Gemuseo (Hieronymus Gemusaeus) e Giorgio di Trebisonda (Trapezuntius): al frontespizio sono elencate le opere con i rispettivi traduttori. La copia è arricchita da due rare tavole doppie, qui perfettamente conservate, incise a legno da Johannes Honter (1498-1549), e che rappresentano le volte celesti figurate, quella Boreale e quella Australe: si tratta di due mappe rarissime, che per la prima volta accompagnano l’opera di Tolomeo, incise dall’umanista ungherese e ispirate a quelle del Dürer, che e presentano due novità assolute: sono le prime mappe a rappresentare le costellazioni in modo geocentrico (cioè viste dalla Terra: quelle di Dürer mostrano una visione dall’esterno), ed è anche il primo caso noto in cui le figure indossano vestiti contemporanei: “These two woodcut maps are noteworthy for both their geocentrism and their novel constellation style. Whereas Dürer’s maps, the first important printed single-sheet maps, showed the stellar universe as from the outside, Honter’s were the first important printed […] showing the stars as seen from earth. Other cartographers who quickly adopted Honter’s point of view were Piccolomini and Postel […] Honter dressed five of the male figures - Auriga, Bootes, Erichtoni, Perseus and Orion - in contemporary fashions, with belted tunics and flamboyant hats” (D. Warner, “The Sky Explored, Celestial Geography, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, 1979, pp. 123-26). Quest’esemplare è purtroppo scompleto, nel testo, delle pagine da 429 a 458. A first rare edition of the complete works of Ptolomaeus traslated into latin. This copy is enriched by the two woodcut plates by Johannes Honter: very rare, it’s the first time these plans accompany a printed text: “These two woodcut maps are noteworthy for both their geocentrism and their novel constellation style. Whereas Dürer’s maps, the first important printed single-sheet maps, showed the stellar universe as from the outside, Honter’s were the first important printed […] showing the stars as seen from earth. Other cartographers who quickly adopted Honter’s point of view were Piccolomini and Postel […] Honter dressed five of the male figures - Auriga, Bootes, Erichtoni, Perseus and Orion - in contemporary fashions, with belted tunics and flamboyant hats” (D. Warner, “The Sky Explored, Celestial Geography, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, 1979, pp. 123-26). This copy is unfortunately uncomplete in the text part, missing pp. 429-58.
