An envelope attached containing - in black ink - Breton's handwritten notes reused in his manuscript. Important and long manuscripts of this article which will be published in the first issue of La Tour Saint-Jacques in November 1955. "1955: with this text entitled "Magie quotidienne", Breton gives a distant echo to the beautiful phrase the "wonderful daily" which closed the first chapter of Le Paysan de Paris, in 1926. But far from Aragon passed to Stalinism, it is to the young Jean-Louis Bédouin that a text is dedicated, which may appear as one of the sketches of Breton's great project that year, a book dedicated to L'Art magique. For the time being, it is to the fascinating game of correspondence, formerly understood under the Hegelian category of objective chance, that these pages are devoted, which will appear, accompanied by a long letter from "G.D." (Georgina Dubreuil) in the first issue of La Tour Saint-Jacques, in November." (Breton Archives) This long manuscript, abundantly corrected and made up of six parts defined by dates - from 21 to 26 February 1955 -, takes the form of a diary recounting troubling coincidences encountered by the writer.

Very Good Burmese Original dark brown leather with embossing on the front board with an initial-like symbol. The black script in ink with several pencil annotations on rectangular pieces of thick hand-made mulberry paper. Closed size: 38x12,5 cm. Open size: 550x38 cm. Text in Pali, written in Burmese "round" script, richly illustrated in red, black, white, and yellow from the most influential Buddhist and astrological texts of the region. Well-preserved and in very good condition. Extremely rare example of one of the longest and a richly illustrated parabaik from Burma, "reflecting an old system of Theravardan magical beliefs pertaining to Burma / Myanmar over 100 years ago". A highly collectible item from the pre-colonial period of the Konbaung dynasty, formerly known as the Alompra dynasty, the Third Burmese Empire, the last dynasty that ruled Burma/Myanmar from 1752 to 1885, Buddhist Myanmar. With its open size, it is extremely rare in length with 44 folds; "The longest one would have 64 folds" (Harvard online). The scenes might show episodes from the Buddhist folk tales popular in Burma towards the end of the 19th century including many ancient tables and ca. 40 specific depictions of Buddha's life, Buddhist practices, some historical scenes, and religious practices like sky burial scenes, etc, as well as astrological and astronomical chapters. Folding-book manuscripts (Parabaiks in Burmese) are a type of writing material historically used in Mainland Southeast Asia, particularly in the areas of present-day Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. The manuscripts are made of thick paper, usually of the Siamese rough bush (Khoi in Thai and Lao) tree or the paper mulberry, glued into a very long sheet and folded in a concertina fashion, with the front and back lacquered to form protective covers or attached to decorative wood covers. The unbound books are made in either white or black varieties, with the paper being undyed in the former and blackened with soot or lacquer in the latter. Along with paper made from bamboo and palm leaves, parabaik were the main medium for writing and drawing in early modern Burma/Myanmar.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary quarter leather bdg. Handsomely bound. Six raised bands to spine, the second compartment has the title, the fifth has "issue 1-104", and the sixth has ex-owner's name of the volume, "Semseddin" lettered gilt. Original end-papers of the period. Slightly age-toned on the lower pages, fading on extremities of boards, overall a very good volume. Folio. (41 x 29 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters) and Turkish with Latin letters. This folio volume consists of 104 issues of the periodical, each issue has 4 pages, which has mostly color illustrated covers as well as several b/w ones. A rare togetherness of the first 104 issues of this Turkish satirical magazine, richly illustrated with thousands of attractive illustrations and caricatures, was published in Istanbul twice a week every Wednesday and Saturday with at least four, at most eight pages, during the Letter Revolution 1928, when the transition from the Arabic alphabet to new Latin letters was ensured. The collection provides an invaluable resource, reflecting the changes in society during and after the Letter Revolution in New Turkey, 1928, placing the new Latin alphabet instead of old Arabic letters and contributing to the development of reading and writing skills of the new Turkish society, as well as "creating the basis for the rapid social evolution in the young Turkish Republic Revolution" soon after the proclamation of the Republic in 1923. The newspaper had a printing house with the same name headquartered in Bab-i Ali (The Sublime Porte of Constantinople), the place where the heart of the Ottoman press was. Burhan Cahid Morkaya left Karagöz Newspaper and founded Köroglu Newspaper in 1928 and wanted the people living in Istanbul and Anatolia to be able to read and write new letters. Indeed, during the period of its publication, Köroglu Newspaper reached the most remote corners of the New Turkish Republic with its attractive cartoons covering local and mostly international subjects. In addition to this news and cartoons, Morkaya also published Turkish reading passages with Arabic letters that were transcripted into Latin letters. Therefore, he created a great positive effect that facilitated the transition to new letters during the Turkish Alphabet Revolution. Duman 1155.

Rare poster is coming with the set inside the volumes as a supplement to the magazine. Extremely rare togetherness of the complete set of 130 issues of the Ottoman Turkish-French satirical magazine "Kalem", richly illustrated with thousands of attractive illustrations and cartoons, started its publication life with the end of Sultan Abdulhamid II's repression regime in 1908. The collection provides an invaluable resource, reflecting the changes in society after the Second Constitutional Revolution in New Ottoman State. The magazine was published weekly in 130 numbers between 21 August 1324 (3 September 1908) and 16 June 1327 (29 June 1911), starting immediately after the Second Ottoman Constitutional Revolution. The magazine was a mixture of satire and a saloon magazine, focusing on politics, social life, and revolution. The only continuously running part of the magazine was Haftalik Dedikodu (Weekly Gossip). The founders of the magazine were Salah (Selah) Cimcoz (1875-1947), a Turkish politician, lawyer, and owner of Kalem Newspaper, and Celal Esat Arseven (1876-1971) a Turkish painter, writer, and parliamentarian. He was the first to introduce the history of art and urbanistic architecture to Turkey.

Ensemble de 9 volumes in-8 (204 x 125 mm), plein veau fauve moucheté de l'époque, dos lisses ornés de doubles filets dorés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin rouge, nom de "Boissy d'Anglas" doré en pied, filet à froid en encadrement des plats, roulette à froid sur les coupes. Ensemble complet de ce monumental ouvrage en 9 parties, devenu au fil des événements un périodique publié sur plus de dix années (1814 à 1824). "À l’origine de cet ouvrage, une commande de Bonaparte qui réclame à Montlosier un ouvrage établissant une continuité entre la monarchie, le Consulat et l’Empire, afin de fournir des arguments historiques à une réconciliation nationale. Montlosier retrace l’histoire de la monarchie en expliquant comment la noblesse a été progressivement écartée du pouvoir et dresse, en fait, un véritable réquisitoire contre la monarchie d’Ancien Régime. Napoléon refuse l’imprimatur en 1807 et l’ouvrage ne sera publié qu’en 1814. Seuls les trois premiers tomes composés entre 1804 et 1807 correspondent à la commande de Bonaparte; dans les suivants Montlosier développe l'idée d'une dégradation continue, depuis Hugues Capet de l’ancienne constitution de la France sous l’effet de l’usurpation progressive du pouvoir par le monarque au détriment des 'grands du royaume' (…). Dans ce renversement de perspective et des conséquences qu’il en tire pour analyser les causes profondes de la Révolution, Montlosier se montre novateur et amorce les nouvelles recherches du XIXe siècle, celles de Guizot et d’Augustin Thierry" (M.-F. Piguet, "Contre-révolution (…) Montlosier (1755-1838) penseur du conflit politique moderne", 'Astérion', 6 | 2009). Élu député aux États généraux de la noblesse, le comte de Montlosier (1755-1838) se montra favorable aux débuts de la Révolution avant de basculer dans la contre-révolution, à partir de 1791, aux côtés des monarchiens. S'il défendit toujours le régime monarchique, il était en revanche beaucoup moins fermement attaché au principe de légitimité dynastique. Il tenta un ralliement critique à Louis XVIII, puis à la Monarchie de Juillet qui le nomma Pair de France en 1832. Quelques accrocs à la reliure, sans gravité. Exemplaire de François-Antoine, comte de Boissy d'Anglas (1756-1826) avec son nom doré en pied de chaque volume. L'une des principales personnalités politiques de la période, girondin modéré, il participa à pratiquement tous les gouvernements depuis son élection au Tiers État en 1789, de la Révolution, de la république, de l'Empire puis de la Restauration où, rallié à Louis XVIII, il fut nommé pair de France. Bon exemplaire, frais, très bien conservé.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary two-cloth bindings. Folio. (40 x 29 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). Extremely rare complete ran of the first episode in Arabic letters, of this richly illustrated pre-Republic Turkish satyric magazine including 90 issues in two folio volumes, published between 2 Kanun-i Sânî 1338 [February 2, 1922] - 9 Ikinci Tesrîn 1339 [November 9, 1923]. The Ottoman Turkish satirical magazine "Aydede" appeared in the first episode from January to November 1922 twice a week in 90 issues. Its founder, owner, and publisher Refik Halit Karay (1888-1965), a well-known poet and journalist, criticized through the published articles, poems, and caricatures not only the social inconveniences and imbalances within the Turkish society but also the young Turkish republic in general. One of the contributors to Aydede was Ratip Tahir Burak, a well-known Turkish cartoonist. Despite the short period of its publication, the magazine influenced the satirical style of many intellectuals and subsequent satirical magazines, including Akbaba. In 1922, the publication of the magazine ceased when Refik Halit was forced by the Turkish Government into exile in Aleppo and Beirut. The reason was Refik Halit's overt opposition to the ongoing Turkish War of Independence. After his return, he published the magazine 1948 and 1949 for another ten months in the second episode in 125 issues, but with little success. (Wikipedia). Duman 0156.

1st edition. Folio. Newspaper. Illustrated throughout. Includes many advertisements and numerous personal family announcements. Following the Kristallnacht pogroms of November 1938, Jewish life in Germany and Czechoslovakia was even further curtailed and all remaining Jewish newspapers were shut down by the government. In their place, the Nazi Party ordered the creation of a single, new Jewish newspaper, "Das Jüdische Nachrichtenblatt, " that would be directly under Gestapo control. It was published concurrently in Berlin, Vienna and Prague and was occupied to a large extent with announcing the ever-increasing number of anti-Semitic discriminations, orders and exclusions imposed by the Reich government. Over the course of its history, the editors of the Jüdische Nachrichtenblatt were Leo Kreindler (1938-42) and Willi Pless (1942-43) . The Berlin edition ran from the 23rd November, 1938 until the final issue of 4th June 1943. The Prague edition continued until 1945. In a ghoulish twist of Nazi irony, Gentiles were forbidden from reading the Jüdische Nachrichtenblatt yet the newspaper's targeted readership, the Jews, were literally hounded to their deaths by the very authorities who presided over the newspaper's ownership! See Reiner Burger, Von Goebbels Gnaden: "Jüdisches Nachrichtenblatt" 1938-1943 (2001) . A mixed collection of 102 issues from Berlin and Prague sold at auction in 2015 for 9225.00 USD. These issues were at one point bound, but the binding was at some point removed. The newsprint is brown and quite fragile, with edgwear and old dampstains, but there is generally little text loss, except to a few letters on the lower outer margins of the final 10 issues. Now housed in an acid-free sleeved portfolio, with each issue in a separate clear sleeve for easy protected viewing. Fair condition, but very rare, very important, and very powerful. (kh-5-47)
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary cloth bdg. made after the Turkish Letter Revolution, in Latin script. Folio. (38 x 28 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 36 issues complete set. Exceedingly rare complete ran of important illustrated "Bosbogaz ile Güllabi" [i.e. The Gabbler and the Asylum Guard], which is an Ottoman satirical magazine, published twice a week from 6 August to 14 December 1908 in Istanbul by Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpinar (1864-1944) and Ahmet Rasim (1864-1932) in a total of 36 issues. The articles of the magazine contained original and fine jokes and satire. In addition to various writings, it also contained caricatures of famous people of the time and jokes about the magazine Mizan. Among other things the caricatures related to the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Some of the humorous articles were published in series and the articles were written in simple language and in a linguistic style appropriate to the period. In addition, Bosbogaz ile Güllabi contained daily news and serious articles that appeared under the name "Bosbogazin ciddî makalesi" ("Serious Bosbogaz Articles"). Apart from the signed articles, there were many anonymously written articles in the magazine. It is possible to trace them back to Hüseyin Rahmi because of the same writing style. Due to his critical style, he took over the administration of the magazine, which was published several times by the Ottoman government. Another famous writer besides Gürpinar and Ahmet Rasim was Mithat Cemal Kuntay (1885-1956). (Wikipedia). Duman 262.
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.
