Very Good Tatar Original wrappers. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14,5 cm). In Crimean Tatar in Arabic script. 25 p. Chipped on extremities, wear on spine, slightly stained and dusty covers. Overall a good copy. First and only edition of this first regulations consisting of 87 articles under 11 main headings, of the parliamentary (qurultai) of the Crimean People's Republic, which was the first Turkic and Muslim democratic republic in the world, existed from December 1917 to January 1918 in the Crimean Peninsula, a modern day Ukrainian territory currently occupied by the Russian Federation. The Crimean People's Republic was declared by the initiative of the Qurultai of Crimean Tatars, which stipulated the equality of all ethnicities within the peninsula. Noman Çelebicihan (1885-1918) was chosen as the first President of the nascent Republic. The Qurultai, in opposition to the Bolsheviks, published a "Crimean Tatar Basic Law", which convened an All-Crimean Constitutional Assembly, established a Board of Directors as a provisional government, and erected a Council of National Representatives as a provisional parliament. The Board of Directors and the Central Council of Ukraine both mutually recognized each other. This attempt to build a new nation was quickly defeated by the Bolshevik- and anarchist-dominated Black Sea Fleet. Already on 16 December 1917, the Bolsheviks captured Sevastopol where the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet was located and dissolved the local council of deputies. The power in the city was transferred to the local revkom. The Bolsheviks were supported by some ships of the Black Sea Fleet. To defend itself, the Crimean government created a United Crimean Headquarters on 19 December 1917, that had at its disposal two cavalry and one infantry regiment of Crimean Tatars as well as some Ukrainian and Russian formations that amounted to some thousand people. Several armed incidents took place during January 1918. On 14 January 1918, the Bolsheviks captured Simferopol where they managed to arrest former President of Crimea (Head of Directorate) Noman Çelebicihan who had just resigned on 4 January 1918. He was transferred back to Sevastopol and interned until 23 February 1918, when he was executed without trial. The body of Çelebicihan was thrown into the sea. On the initiative of Çelebicihan on 10 January 1918, the Qurultai created a special commission that conducted talks with the Bolsheviks to stop the armed conflict in Crimea. On the initiative of Çelebicihan on 10 January 1918, the Qurultai created a special commission that conducted talks with the Bolsheviks to stop the armed conflict in Crimea. By the end of January 1918, the Bolsheviks had captured the whole of Crimea and dissolved both the Kurultai as well as the Council of National Representatives. The Red Terror engulfed the peninsula. With Çelebicihan in the Reds' custody, another leader of the Crimean Tatars, Cafer Seydamet Qirimer, managed to escape to the Caucasus across continental Ukraine. Many Crimean military formations retreated to the mountains. The government of Ukraine blockaded Crimea while trying to re-establish control over the Black Sea Fleet and the city of Sevastopol. Any Muslim supporting military formations on the way to Crimea was stopped. That, in turn, triggered a protest from the All-Russian Muslim military council. By the end of January 1918, the Ukrainian government itself was forced to declare war on the Russian SFSR due to the advancement of the Red Guard forces of Moscow and Petrograd into Ukraine without explicit notification. The Bolsheviks briefly established the Taurida Soviet Socialist Republic on Crimean territory in early 1918 before the area was overrun by forces of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the German Empire. Some officials of the national government, such as Seydamet Qirimer who managed to escape the Bolsheviks' terror sought political asylum in Kyiv and petitioned for military help from the advancing Ukrainian Army as w
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.
