1863162461Ethiopia: c. 1863. A duplicitous envoy at the heart of the Abyssinian court Two sketches attributed to M. Bardel a French diplomat who befriended Emperor Tewodros II in the build-up to the Abyssinia Expedition. They show an Ethiopian's head in profile as a mock-up for a cannon engraving and Bardel dressed in the emperor's armour. When Charles Cameron British consul to Abyssinia arrived in the country in 1862 he was accompanied by one Bardel a Frenchman who was assumed to be his secretary. A dispute led the the two to part ways after which Bardel entered the service of the emperor. Keen to deepen his European connections Tewodros entrusted Bardel to carry a letter to Napoleon III. However the Frenchman never received an audience and returned with a likely forged reply telling Tewodros that Napoleon did not approve of his erratic and often violent actions. He also informed Tewodros of uncomplimentary journal entries written by the Anglican missionary Henry Aaron Stern. This combined with the emperor's growing mistrust of Europeans and anger at being snubbed by their royal houses led him to order the arrest and torture of Cameron Stern and all other Europeans in 1864. The treatment of the prisoners resulted in the 1868 British expedition to Abyssinia led by Charles Napier. The captions on the first sketch read "Abyssian sic Head & the way they part their hair" and "This was done by Mr. Bardel for King Theodore & was a design of a warrior to be engraved on the celebrated big gun as per instructions in French he was rewarded by a present of 10 cows but the design was never carried out - June 1868". There are reports that Tewodros had the words "Theodore the Scourge of the Peverse" inscribed on his cannon. The captions on the second sketch read "Abyssian sic native prisoner being led to execution" and "Mr Bardel dressed in King Theodore's armour". Two ink sketches with brown watercolour on paper 89 x 65 mm and 133 x 70 mm each mounted on larger sheet 145 x 255 mm and 172 x 253 mm. Contemporary ink and pencil captions paper slip with contemporary manuscript ink caption affixed onto one sheet. Foxing and toning larger sheets chipped along one edge: very good. unknown

403957-3/4 x 5-3/4 inches. 1 vols. Fine. 7-3/4 x 5-3/4 inches. 1 vols. The Last Coptic Metropolitan of Ethiopia. Until the mid-twentieth century the head of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church was a Copt appointed by the Coptic Patriarchate in Egypt. In 1929 four native Ethiopian bishops were ordained to assist the Coptic Metropolitan. Subsequently with the support of Emperor Haile Selassie reigned 1930-1974 an agreement was reached with the Copts in 1948 providing for the election of an ethnic Ethiopian Metropolitan to succeed the Metropolitan Kyrillos. Thus when he died in 1951 an assembly of clergy and laity elected an Ethiopian Basilios as Metropolitan and the autonomy of the Ethiopian Church was established; eight years later he was confirmed by the Coptic Patriarchate as the first Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. unknown books

Very Good Turkish Original grey cloth bdg. Roy. 8vo. (25 x 17 cm). In Turkish. [xxviii], [4], [4], 1112 p., 2 full-page color maps. First map is the most famous one showing the Nile and the second one shows the Mediterranean shores and cities of Egypt. Rare first edition of the 10th, and the last volume of the Evliya's travel corpus including his descriptions of Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia in the late 17th century. This legendary travel account was published between 1896-1938 respectively in ten volumes. "Book X lands him in Egypt and takes him up the Nile to the Sudan and Ethiopia. When Evliya reaches Ibrim on the Nile, the southernmost limit of the Ottoman Empire, he remarks on the intense heat of the place; contrasting it with the intense cold he experienced at the northernmost limit, Azov; and with the mild climates at the eastern and western frontiers, Baghdad on the one hand, and Istolnibelgrad on the other. Apparently, Egypt suited him best, and he found Cairo a worthy counterpart to Istanbul; for he settled there to work up his memoirs of forty-one years of travel. He died around 1683, and there is controversy over whether a certain cryptic passage refers to the Ottoman defeat at Vienna.". (Evliya Çelebi's book of travels. 2. Evliya Çelebi in Bitlis). Evliya Çelebi visited Suakin during one of his journeys across Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti and Tanzania. He describes this territory under the title "The characteristics of old throne center Suakin" as "we stayed in this city for 12 days, trading with all kinds of people with camel trains. I sold 40 dromedaries in return for 500 piasters and also disburdened, sold 50 tusks for 500 piasters. Then we started to wander around the city. The Suez Sea is to the north of the island, and it takes 12 hours to reach Mecca from the island. Therefore, the direction of Mecca from this city is to the north. Suakin is a little island stretching three miles from east to west. (Afyoncu, Daily Sabah). Further travels in the 1670s took him to western and southwestern Anatolia and Syria. He completed the Hajj again and appears to have settled in Egypt for several years. He traveled in Upper Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia searching for the sources of the River Nile, before settling down to compile his great travel book. OCLC 630428224 (with four copies).
