New English Oriignal cloth bdg. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In Turkish. 208 p. Ardaviraf's old text which was originally in Persian that influenced Dante Allighieri's Divina Commedia according to literary historians. "Of its author we know nothing except what his book tells. He has sometimes been connected with a religious scholar who wrote commentaries on the Avesta during the Sasanian Empire. His book narrates a vision of heaven and hell which Viraf saw in an inspired dream or vision. Most of the brief book is given here, except where the details of hell become too bestial, too coarsely sordid for modern taste. The entire vision is truly Dantesque; and while we do not know its age, we can say confidently that it is several centuries older than the work of Dante. So profound, even to this day, is the Parsis' faith in the reality of Viraf's vision, that when the work is read in their religious assemblies, the men weep and the women cry out in horror over its pictures of the damned. It has certainly a powerful influence in restraining the Parsis from sin". (Source: Avesta; bookk of Arda Viraf). Ardâvîrâfnâme. Cennet, araf ve cehennem. Translated by Prof. Dr. Nimet Yildirim.
Fine English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [10], 140 p. Guardians of thought: Limits on freedom of expression in Iran (Middle East Watch Report). In Iran it is never clear whether what can be said, written or filmed today will be cause for financial ruin, arrest or other punishment tomorrow. Guardians of Thought, which primarily covers the period 1989-1993, examines the various mechanisms of state control of expression and presents more than sixty individual cases (and one group case involving 161 people) of Iranian writers, filmmakers, journalists and intellectuals who have been imprisoned, prosecuted or otherwise punished for the content of their work or whose work has been banned and censored. The breadth of censorship goes well beyond the cases examined here, these only serve to illustrate tactics of direct and often violent pressure by vigilante groups, of defamation campaigns, of formal censorship, and of the power play between different pressure groups within the ruling elite.

New Turkish Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 212 p. Zerdüst dini: Zerdüst'ün Gathalari, üç unutulmus din: Mitraizm, Maniheizm, Mazdakizm. [= The religion of Zarathusthra: Tha Gathas of Zarathusthra, three forgotten religions]. Translated to Turkish by Nice Damar. Buyuk Peygamber Zerdust'un solugunun, antik tapinaklarin sunaklarindaki kullerini ufleyerek, yine tapinaklarini supurecegi gunu dusluyorum ve her sunak isildayarak atese donusecek ve yine gokyuzunden karsilik veren alevler, Iran dininin bir kez daha olmasi gerektigi gibi, insan tinlerinin isaret fisegi, dunyanin en buyuk dinlerinden biri, yaparak dusecek. Annie Besant Bu kitap, Dr. J.S. Taraporewala'nin "Zerdust Dini" adli ilk baskisi 1926'da yapilmis kitabinin yeniden gozden gecirilmis ve genisletilmis baskisidir. Kitapta ayrica Zerdust Gathalarinin Ingilizceden yapilmis serbest kosuk cevirisi ve Iran'in unutulmus dinleri Mitraizm, Manizm ve Mazda dinleri uzerine uc deneme de yer aliyor. Gathalarin cevirisi, okurun peygamberin bildirisini, kendi sozcuklerinden ogrenmesini, Iran'in unutulmus dinleri uzerine uc deneme ise, yasayan en eski dinlerden biri olan Zerdust dinini kendi perspektifinden gormesini ve bu inancin, neden hala gelismekte oldugunu anlamasini saglayacaktir. [The Religion of Zarathushtra is at the same time one of the simplest and yet most profound introductions to Zoroastrianism, the once glorious but now nearly forgotten religion of the Magi. The author grew up in the small community of Zoroastrians still surviving in India, and had a deep and abiding love for his religion. He was a man of liberal outlook and wide learning, with a full mastery of the ancient languages. He became one of the greatest scholars of Zoroastrianism in our time. The rare combination of a true believer and a profound scholar gives this book simple beauty and great depth.].

New English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. 104 p. Mîrzâ Makhdûm was one of the most interesting characters of Ottoman history. He was a high-ranking bureaucrat in the Safavid State, but after taking refuge in the Ottoman Empire, he began a career as a judge in Diyarbakir, Tripoli and Haramayn in the late sixteenth century. He lived with a dilemma not only in the countries in which he lived, but also in his family life. Since, his mother's side is Sunni, his father's side is Shi'a. His work on the Qizilbash titled Al-Nawâkid li-Bunyân al-Rawâfid is crucial to understand the era. This study indicates the identity crisis of Mîrzâ Makhdûm via investigating the Sunni-Shia conflict through the eyes of a scholar and tries to understand how a scholar from Iran has reached high ranks in the Ottoman Empire. Also, this study provides an exciting opportunity to understand the Safavid policy in the sixteenth century, the bureaucracy in the ilmiye class and the attitude of the Ottoman bureaucrats towards the Safavid scholars.
