Jacob van der Schuere was a Dutch Golden Age writer. He was born in Menen but moved north to Haarlem where he became a schoolmaster and wrote educational books. In 1612 he published the work Nederduytsche spellinge, which was a proposal for a comprehensive spelling of the Dutch language and in 1643 he published the math book Arithmetica oft reken-konst. He probably died in Haarlem some time after the publication of his second book, though his death is not recorded.

8vo, br. ed. pp.354. An engrossing blend of travel writing and history, Drinking Arak off an Ayatollah's Beard traces one man's adventure-filled journey through today's Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia, and describes his remarkable attempt to make sense of the present by delving into the past. Setting out to gain insight into the lives of Iranians and Afghans today, Nicholas Jubber is surprised to uncover the legacy of a vibrant pre-Islamic Persian culture that has endured even in times of the most fanatic religious fundamentalism. Everywhere- from underground dance parties to religious shrines to opium dens- he finds powerful and unbreakable connections to a time when both Iran and Afghanistan were part of the same mighty empire, when the flame of Persian culture lit up the world. Whether through his encounters with poets and cab drivers or run-ins with"pleasure daughters&rdquo and mujahideen, again and again Jubber is drawn back to the eleventh-century Persian epic, the Shahnameh (&ldquoBook of Kings&rdquo). The poem becomes not only his window into the region's past, but also his link to its tumultuous present, and through it Jubber gains access to an Iran and Afghanistan seldom revealed or depicted: inside-out worlds in which he has tea with a warlord, is taught how to walk like an Afghan, and even discovers, on a night full of bootleg alcohol and dancing, what it means to drink arak off an Ayatollah's beard.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original fine 1/4 leather bound in Ottoman lettered gilt. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 174 p. Hegira: 1277 = Gregorian: 1860. Rare early (second) edition of this eye witness and first-hand account, and one of the most important chronicles describing the history of late Safavid Iran in the 18th century, the Iranian invasion of Afghanistan and the siege and the fall of Isfahan in 1722 written by Kruzinski who was a Polish Jesuit missionary served in the Persia in the early 18th century. In 1720 he was nominated advocate general of the mission in Persia and became the secretary to the Bishop of Isfahan. Krusinski himself, however, claimed later on that he is not only the author but also the translator of this work. As a chronicle, this is a history of Iran under the Safavids from 1499 up to 1727 with a special focus on the 1722 Afghan invasion that terminated the Safavid dynasty. "His account of the conditions and events preceding and during the siege and the subsequent demise of the Safavids is unique. It also offers key insights into the workings of the late Safavid state and government as well as the functions of the royal harem." (Bloomsbury). Translated and expanded by Ibrahim Müteferrika of Kruzinski's Latin manuscript written in 1726 in Istanbul and entitled "Historia revolutionis monarchia Persica". The book was first published in Italian, French, and English translations, in Rome (1727), Paris (1728), and London (1728). The founder of the legendary first printing house in the Islamic world, Ibrahim Müteferrika (1674-1745), was the editor of this book. Ceridehâne [i.e. Journal House] Printing House is the successor of the Müteferrika Press in the early 19th century. "The book is a Turkish translation of the history of Iran written in Latin by the Jesuit missionary Judas (Jan) Tadeusz Krusinski (1675-1751). The work, whose title can be translated as 'A voyager's description on the apparition of the Afghans and on the reasons of the Safavid Empire being undermined', focuses on the Afghan invasion of 1722 which led to the fall of the Safavid dynasty, but also offers an overview on the historical processes of early 18th-century Safavid Iran. The publication of this work was made actual not only by the vicinity of Iran to the Ottoman Empire but also by the historical turn reorganizing the relations of power in the region and triggering the intervention of the Ottomans as well. This may have been the reason that among the first Turkish incunabula this was the work published in the highest number of copies. This publication also offers an early example of copyright disputes, as Krusinski considered the Turkish translation as his own work, while Müteferrika, who does not mention his name in the printed version, suggests himself to be the translator".

(Source: The Mysterious Printer Ibrahim Muteferrika and the Beginnings of Turkish Book Printing: Library of Hungarian Academy of Sciences Online). The workshop of Müteferrika began its historical mission in 1728. They published 17 works in 22 volumes. The printing house served as a means to the long-term goal of Müteferrika, his efforts to broaden the horizon and modernize the knowledge of Ottoman society and Islamic civilization. This is evidenced by the subjects of the books selected for publishing, the motivations put forth in the publisher's introductions, as well as by the documents illuminating the background of the publication of each book, also published in print.

Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !!

br. ed. pp.56- Orientalista all'Università di Amsterdam, Seyed Jamal ritrova il diario di viaggio di uno scià che a fine '800 lascia la Persia e con un infinito stuolo di principi, funzionari e mogli dell'harem intraprende il suo Grand Tour alla scoperta dell'Europa. Armato di curiosità e ironia, Seyed si unisce alla carovana del re e come una moderna Sherazade, fondendo realtà storica e fiaba orientale, narra le mille e un'avventura di questo viaggiatore d'eccezione, despota crudele e ingenuo, colto e infantile, facile preda del Grande Gioco europeo per il controllo del Medioriente, sovrano di un regno millenario e retrogrado a confronto con il progresso vorticoso che cambierà il mondo e plasmerà il nostro presente. Accolto come un vecchio amico dagli zar e dalla regina Vittoria, con cui condivide la via del tramonto in un decadente rituale di corte, lo scià attraversa la Germania di Bismarck e la Francia repubblicana, incontra Tolstoj, il padre di Stalin, Debussy e Monet, testa l'aspirina della Bayer e sperimenta le scoperte di Siemens e di Pasteur, capisce la portata rivoluzionaria della catena di montaggio e delle industrie inglesi, e assiste impotente alla ribellione di Banu, sua moglie prediletta, che ha letto, pensato e sognato troppo per non cercare in questo viaggio una fuga verso la libertà. Ma lo smarrimento dello scià di fronte al formarsi dell'Europa moderna si riflette in quello di Seyed per la crisi dell'Europa attuale, dove la storia, con la stessa inesorabilità, lungo lo stesso tragitto seguito dal re persiano, conduce ondate di profughi intrecciando sempre più i destini di Oriente e Occidente, e dove uno scrittore rifugiato come Kader Abdolah, che con la «magia dell'immigrazione» si è ricostruito un'identità, cerca nella letteratura nuovi territori di incontro.
