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.

185954671P., Gide 1859 In-4 18,5 x 27 cm. Reliure demi-toile moderne, IV + 550 pp., 16 planches hors texte, 30 vignettes dans le texte 1 carte dépliante in fine.
In 8°; (2 b.), (2), 102, (2 b.) pp. e una grande c. di tavola della Crimea più volte ripiegata. Qualche lieve traccia di foxing, dovuta alla qualità della carta e nel complesso, in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione, ancora in barbe e in bellissima ed importante brossura coeva. La magnifica legatura coeva in brossura in bianco e amaranto con motivi floreali e intarsi, è firmata nel margine esterno dall'autore della stessa, quel famoso Carlo Bertinazzi, che a Bologna, nel 1760, fondò una notissima ditta di carta per per rilegare i libri, per avvolgere i mazzi di fiori, per il retro delle carte da gioco, per le pareti delle case, per rivestire mobili e scatole ed altri vari servizi. La ditta stampava in Via Venezia (oggi via Caduti di Cefalonia 3-5) al numero 1749-1750 fino alla seconda metà dell'ottocento. A Carlo Bertinazzi, susseguì il nipote, Carlo Bruera che già verso gli anni 80' del settecento, aveva iniziato a lavorare con Carlo che aveva cambiato il nome della ditta in “Fabbrica dell’antica Ditta cantante Carlo Bertinazzi e Nipote”. Carlo Vittorio Bertinazzi era originario di Torino dove nacque nel 1731. Intorno al 1750 era Parigi dove aveva raggiunto lo zio attore, Carlo Antonio Bertinazzi (1710-1783) che era in Francia, una vera e propria celebrità come uno dei più grandi interpreti di Arelcchino nella Commedia dell'arte. Fu qui che Carlo Vittorio apprese l'arte tipografica, specializzandosi nei papiers peints che all'epoca, era un'arte in forte ascesa in Francia ma ancora poco conosciuta in Italia. Come scrive G.P. Tomasina nella sua monografia “All'uso di Francia” dalla moda all'industria. Carte decorate, papier peint e tessile stampato nel sec. XVIII: la Bottega Bertinazzi (Bologna 1760-1896)", Bologna, 2001, pp. 150-151: “La piccola arte del dipingere le carte a fiori, a drappo, a marmo e in tutte le fogge ‘alla francese' porta infatti a Bologna un'abilità fino ad allora ignorata, proprio negli anni in cui l'illusione di una bellezza altrimenti inaccessibile segna l'età d'oro del papier peint in Europa. Inserendosi nella produzione italiana vasta ed articolata di questo settore, la bottega Bertinazzi replica le novità che giungono d'oltralpe, ovvero carte decorate di ogni tipo, marmorizzate, dorate, goffrate, silografate, a colla…”. Le brossure identificabili a Bertinazzi direttamente su libri, sono pochissime. Prima rara edizione di questa celeberrima storia della Crimea, una seconda edizione, uscì nel 1785, lavoro del celebre poligrafo, storico e giornalista, Francesco Becattini (Firenze, 1743 (?) - Livorno, 1813). Poco si sa della sua vita, tanto che alcuni dati sono ambigui e discordanti. Quello che si sa è che fu un poligrafo di inesauribile vitalità, pubblicando numerosissime opere. Sicuramente si sa che fosse un uomo dagli scarsi mezzi finanziari e che scrivere, per lui era un mezzo per sostenersi. Le sue descrizione storiche sono spesso ricche anche di narrazioni di fatti curiosi, scandali e misteri nella descrizione dei quali, la sua vena letteraria, si esprimeva in tutto il suo potenziale. Proprio le difficili condizioni economiche lo portarono a cambiare spesso città e a scrivere dei temi più disparati, oltre a collaborare con diversi giornali. Come narra, Gian Franco Torcellan nella voce dedicata a Beccatini, nel Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani, Volume 7 (1970): "Tra il 1782 e il 1783, dunque, il B. dovette lasciare senza troppi indugi la Toscana, e finì per stabilirsi poi a Napoli. In questa città usciva infatti in quell'anno una sua compilazione storico-geografica, la Storia della Piccola Tartaria, penisola di Crimea ed altre provincie circonvicine, per le stampe del Pianese; l'opera, di discreta fortuna, ebbe una seconda edizione, che è quella più comunemente nota e diffusa, pubblicata a Venezia nel 1785 col titolo di Storia della Crimea, Piccola Tartaria ed altre provincie circonvicine soggetto delle recenti vertenze tra la Russia e la Porta Ottomana, con un esatto ragguaglio delle usanze, costumi di que' popoli, ultime loro vicende e produzioni del paese inservienti al commercio d'Europa. La piatta andatura della compilazione era interrotta soltanto nel finale dell'opera, nel quale si esprimeva una sentita partecipazione all'avanzata vittoriosa di Caterina II. Curiosamente, accanto al titolo da lui sempre ambito e prodotto su tutti i frontespizi di "accademico apatista", in quest'operetta il B. si designava, non sappiamo su quale base concreta, "professore di geografia e di storia nella sua patria". L'opera rappresenta una dei primi testi italiani, dedicati in modo monografico alla Crimea e alla sua storia, alla presenza dei Tartari, dei Cosacchi, alle guerre e dominazioni che si sono susseguite, nel corso dei secoli. Prima rara edizione in importante brossura coeva. Rif. Bibl.: IT\ICCU\UFIE\005136

AQ29397Two volumes. Manuscript on paper. 109; 119pp. Contemporary half- morocco and morocco-backed marbled paper boards respectively. Cocked and a little soiled remaining tight some rear leaves removed from earlier volume. The first and more interesting of this pair of manuscript journals narrates a voyage from London to Balaklava in the transport ship Mary-Ann of Bristol commanded by Captain Lambert. Having departed the English coast on June 9th 1856 the Mary-Ann passes Cape St Vincent on June 16th bound for the Crimea. By the next day she sails abreast of the strait passing the Rock of Gibraltar by the third day. Another transport ship the Onward is pulled alongside by the Chief Mate returning from the Crimea with troops and horses onboard bound for for England. The message is relayed to the captain that ‘all the troops were waiting in Constantinople for ships to convey them home'. So begins the journal of Second Mate Thomas Nunn Hall recently married on his voyage to Balaklava. Hall mentions the other ships he encounters on voyage - the Lady Eglington is signalled and he notes he remembers her from a tour of the Dardanelles the previous year. Also mentioned are the ships sailing in company with the Mary-Ann The Herefordshire 'lazy 1800 tons' being most named. It becomes more apparent that our narrator - a most unwilling and witless seaman - has sailed this voyage before. Though it remains unclear if Hall served actively in the war he later reminisces about 'standing on the deck of the ship 'Chalmers'.from the Crimea to the Holy Land instead of being on the poop deck of the 'Mary-Ann'.' By the 6th of July they pass the island of Malta three days later sight the Greek mainland though it takes a further four days for Mytilene to come into view. Finally they come to anchor at the Dardanelles and by July 20th reach the Sea of Marmara to take on several guests including a Mrs Hunter “a fine handsome woman of about 26 years of age” whom Hall determines to make speak to him. Fortunately she seems none too perturbed. The troops previously thought to be collected are nowhere to be found and the Mary-Ann is to take on stores for England instead. Steam tug Helen Fancet tows the ship up the Golden Horn though a mishap takes place damaging the ship. They later anchor up among the ships of war. During an evening walk in Pera he witnesses some society event with the French military band playing to 'hundreds of people' including 'many beautiful and elegantly dressed English and French ladies'. Given the relative paucity of interesting narrative presented in his frequently introspective often 'vexed' and occasionally calamitous account we should perhaps consider it a blessing that the journal ends before the voyage was completed. . 8vo. hardcover

17022The account of 'Events in 1855 and 1856' dated by Wrench from Park Lodge Baslow Derbyshire 1902. The duplicated letter dated 12 December 1880. The printed advertisement for talk at the School Baslow and dated 14 January 1881. Wrench was the son of a clergyman and well connected being presented to the Prince of Wales and staying at Chatsworth in his old age. His obituary in the British Medical Journal 27 April 1812 describes how he went out to the Crimea in 1854. 'He had been gazetted Assistant Surgeon to the 34th Regiment in November and joined it on its arrival in the Crimea. He served during the terrible winter of that year and was present at the capture of the quarries the successful assault on the Redan of June 18th and the final capture of Sebastopol on September 8th 1855. He was mentioned in despatches and received the Crimean medal and clasp for Sebastopol and the Turkish medal.' Wrench's own account of his experiences in the Crimea Item One below – entirely unpublished – is a personal one vividly-written and full of detail. It does not appear to be present in the collection of his family papers at Nottingham University Library. ONE: Manuscript consisting of 'Events in 1855' 4pp and '1856 12pp making a total of 16pp. 8vo on twelve leaves attached with a stud. In good condition on aged and dogeared paper. The first page of the 1855 manuscript is headed '12 sic Pages in this Year' but comprises four numbered pages. The beginning of account sets the scene and gives an indication of the level of detail: 'The 1st Janry found me doing duty with the 28th Foot or Slashers in the 3rd. Divt of the army before Sebastopol having landed at Balaclava from the Ship "Queen of the South" on the 20th. Nov. 1854. On the 6th July I was ordered to do duty with the 50th. Foot but as I did not wish to move the weather being very bad and my tent being as comfortable or rather as little uncomfortable as it could be made except to join my own Regt. the 34th. to which I had been gazetted on the 1st. of December 1854. I applied to be sent to it and was ordered to join which I did on 9th of Janry.' The account is made up from diary entries and is none the less vivid and interesting for that: 'On the following morning a wounded Russian named Alexo was brought into our Hospital and we amputated his leg he did really well and was eventually exchanged at Odessa. Poor Jordan's death threw a great damp on the Regiment as he was the first Officer we had had killed. On the 9th. of April being Easter Monday the 2nd. Bombardment took place. It was a fearfully wet windy day so that no one was able to go out to see what damage was done. On the 10th. I was on trenches and the noise was terrific but nothing to what I have since heard. I had a very narrow escape from a round shot which hopped over the parapet close to where I was.' In June 'after 68 hours bombardment an assault was made on the Quarries by ourselves . I did not go down till about 8 with Robinson Scott & Peel and 100 men. We were marching about the Trenches half the night and were finally sent to the middle ravine just below Mamelon. The scene there was most horrible the ground being strewn with dead & wounded. English French & Russians. One poor Russian boy was dragged up by two Zouaves but fainted just opposite to where we were lying. I got a light and found he was shot through the belly and that nothing could be done for him. I gave him some water and he lie sic by me some time but died before morning. I got an amulet off his neck & his cap pouch which I sent home'. The 1856 account begins in dramatic style: 'The first entry in this Diary relates to the explosion which took place within the British Lines during the Siege of Sebastopol. Feb 3rd. I was not many hundred yards from this explosion when it took place & will here relate now Janry 1900 my recollection of it. It took place in Novr. or Decr. 1855. I had just come in from a ride & had given my horse to my Batman when I noticed a vast cloud of smoke shoot up from the Right Siege train an open air arsenal about 500 yds from my house - a tremendous noise of explosion followed & knowing that there would be a rain of missiles from above to fall immediately I jumped under my doorway - hoping the strong lintel would protect me . a shower of fragments fell around me rattling on my iron roof - and wounding many men in the Regiment - 70 men were killed by the explosion some over half a mile off. The artillery horses were passing in front of my door to water & stampeded hurting several men in their rush. Both my horse and my dog bolted. I got the horse back in a few hours - but my dog taken sic a few weeks before out of Sebastopol returned to her old home and was found there weeks afterwards I brought her to England My house that I had just finished building myself did not sustain much damage. .' The account continues packed with incident. At one point he writes: 'I had written the above in 1859 and continue it forty one years after November 4 1900. The events & fights of May 1856 being written so legibly in my brain that I can read much of what we did & said. Alas all the actors except myself are passed away. My notice has been called to the excursion by reading an Illustrated article in a magazine named "Travel" in which Dr. Hy. Lansell has been describing a tour taken last year over the same ground - so little altered from what I saw in 1856 that his description would do for mine'. The diary concludes in fine style. On 2 May 1856 he goes to Yalta where he finds 'the daughters of the English Clerk of the Works of Prince W's Palace were keeping the Hotel a very rough primitive structure low stone built rooms with a long rough wooden verandah overlooking the lovely Bay - We enjoyed an excellent dinner of Turbot & Oyster Sauce & a bottle of excellent local wine like Hock - as we returned we went over the Emperor's Villa Orianda . One day when I remember seeing for the first time a Persian horizontal Water Wheel in a very pretty village embosomed in Walnut Trees where also I bought an embroidered linen neck scarf which I still possess - On another occasion I accompanied Best & Chapman to the Alma & where I picked up the Russian Cannon Ball now on top of the Study Clock - I tried hard to get someone to accompany me to Bagshi Serai & Chuphut Kale but I had to go alone - I wonder now how I dare. For it was in the heart of the Enemies Country. I remember the Priest spit when I went near them in the Church in the Rock and I rode home at night through the Russian Camp on the river Balbec. I certainly felt no fear but that was the Ignorance of youth'. A final note more than half a page long records a meeting at Chatsworth in 1902 with Grand Duke Michael and his wife the Countess Torby. TWO: Duplicated letter by Wrench a hectograph in purple ink intended for circulation among his 'dear children'. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition on aged and lightly-creased paper. Signed 'E. M. Wrench'. At the beginning is a half-page drawing by Wrench captioned 'Russian Soldier - In the Valley of the Shadow of Death. near Sebastopol - 1855 on Black Sea in the distance'. He describes a lecture he gave at Bakewell the previous Monday on the Siege of Sebastopol beginning 'I began by describing the terrible state of the hospital at Balaclava in November 1854. I had a ward full of wounded from Inkerman with bad cases of fever & cholera - All the windows had been blown out by the great storm of November the 14th. The sick had no beds and often nothing to eat until 3 or 4 oclock in the afternoon. The harbour of Balaclava was crowded with steamers while the coast near was strewn with the wrecks of the 21 ships that had gone down in the storm. .' The letter continues with much valuable detail and a drawing of a 'Section of "sunk" tent with fire place' on the third page. In the final paragraph he reports that 'Lord Edward Cavendish M.P. took the chair at my lecture. The room was quite full and some of the audience had come 8 or 10 miles to hear me.' THREE: Printed handbill advertisement with duplicated illustration another purple hectograph by Wrench on reverse joke featuring two soldiers and a horse and cart. 1p. 12mo. In good condition on lightly-aged paper. The printed advertisement is crisply printed and the date '14th' is added in red ink. It reads: 'A Lecture will be delivered in the School Baslow On Friday January 14th. 1881 At 7.30 p.m. By E. M. Wrench F.R.G.S. entitled Personal recollections of the Siege of Sebastopol.

Very Good Tatar Original wrappers. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Tatar and Kiptchak Turkish with Arabic letters. 204, 4 p. Occasionally stains and foxing on covers, chipped upper margin on front cover. Otherwise a very good copy. First and only edition of Bigiev's work on fasting and feasts of Islam. In a broader sense, the book includes Muslim prayer and fasting in the northern regions of Russia, as well as ijtihad [i.e. Physical or mental effort, expended in a particular activity) is an Islamic legal term referring to independent reasoning or the thorough exertion of a jurist's mental faculty in finding a solution to a legal question], the creation of Adam, Dhu'l-Qarnayn [i.e. Alexander the Great], imitation, freedom of mind, comparison, and naskh issues are discussed. Bigiev (sometimes known as Luther of Islam), was a Tatar Hanafi Maturidi scholar, theologian philosopher, publicist, and one of the leaders of the Jadid movement. After receiving his education in Kazan, Bukhara, Istanbul, and Cairo, he became a political activist for the Ittifaq, the political organization of the Muslims of Russia. He also taught in Orenburg, wrote journalistic texts, and translated classic works into Tatar. After emigrating from the Soviet Union, he traveled Europe and the Middle and the Far East while writing and publishing. This is the early and one of his most important texts which include his ideas that have become his manifesto and thoughts as a leader of the Russian Muslims. In 1708, the Khanate of Kazan was abolished, and Kazan became the center of a guberniya. After Peter the Great's visit, the city became a center of shipbuilding for the Caspian fleet. The major Russian poet Gavrila Romanovich Derzhavin was born in Kazan in 1743, the son of a poor country squire of Tatar ancestry though himself having a thoroughly Russian identity. Kazan was largely destroyed in 1774 as a result of the Pugachev revolt, a revolt by border troops and peasants led by the Don Cossack ataman (captain) Yemelyan Pugachev, but was rebuilt soon afterward, during the reign of Catherine the Great. After the Russian Revolution of 1905, Tatars were allowed to revive Kazan as a Tatar cultural center. The first Tatar theater and the first Tatar newspaper appeared. On May 27, 1920, the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the RSFSR was declared. Under Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Union began to place restrictions on the use of the Tatar language, which used a variant of Arabic script. The Tatar alphabet switched to Cyrillic.

Oblong roy. 4to., First Edition, with title in red and black, text and captions in red, blue and black, 34 splendid large plates in photo-collotype and full-page musical score in blue; original red cloth, upper board ruled and blocked with regimental badge in gilt, expertly recased, BUT WITH SOME AGE- OR DAMP-DAMAGE TO 22 OF THE LATER PLATES (mercifully restricted mainly to upper blank margins and only materially affecting around ten plates); nevertheless a valuable record and a very scarce work. An unusually lavish production for a single battalion, this work is distinguished by the quality of the plates, which (damage apart) varies from very good to magnificent. The photographs are superbly executed by F. Bremner, photographer, variously of Lahore, Simla & Quetta, and their rendering as collotypes preserves the quite extraordinary detail of faces, uniforms and equipment. The plates include fine portraits of Major-General Frederick Walter Kitchener (Commanding 3rd (Lahore) Division) and Colonel J.C. Yale (commanding 1st Battalion), together with close-ups of the Colours and mess plate. The main body of plates is devoted, of course, to group studies. These include the officers (individually captioned), the battalion on parade, the Colour and colour sergeants (individually captioned), the NCOs (individually captioned), corporals, companies A-H (each company photographed separately), and a fine series of the battalion's various support units, trades and sports teams. An unusual composition is the plate 'Regimental Types' and depicting eight members of the battalion in a variety of uniforms including officer's full dress and OR's marching order. In addition to the plates, there is a detailed account of the battalion's service from Tournay (1794) to its arrival at Lahore Cantonment in 1906, together with pages devoted to regimental marchess. Not the least importance of this work must be as a superbly detailed record of the appearance of a regular battalion of line infantry of the period - crucially, the last phase of Edwardian opulence and before the irreversible changes brought about by the Great War. EXTREMELY SCARCE. IT IS UNCLEAR HOW MANY OF THESE REMARKABLE PORTFOLIOS WERE PRODUCED; CERTAINLY NOT MANY, AND EVEN FEWER CAN HAVE SURVIVED. Sutcliife p.103; not recorded by White (1965).
