1719G84EBF01U79OColophon: Rome 1719. 4to. Giovanni Francesco Chracas Modern boards covered with chemical-marbled paper black morocco spine label. With a hatched roman capital used as an initial. Set in roman types with extensive italic. 8 pp. Extremely rare contemporary account of the audiences of the first Ottoman ambassador to the Holy Roman Empire before the Emperor himself and before Prince Eugene of Savoy both in the year 1719. This signalled the beginning of the attempted transition from war to negotiation in the ever difficult relations between the great Islamic and Christian powers. The Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI 1685-1740 conducted the successful Austro-Turkish War against the Ottoman Empire in the years 1716 to 1718 lead by Prince Eugene of Savoy 1663-1736. After the Treaty of Passarowitz ended the war on 21 July 1718 the Ottoman Sultan Ahmed III sent Ibrahim Pasha to Vienna to serve as Ambassador and Charles VI sent Count Hugo von Virmont to Constantinople as Ambassador to the Sultan. This exchange of ambassadors was celebrated with a grand ceremony near the border where the two ambassadors met on 15 June 1719. The present publication begins by noting Ibrahim's arrival in Vienna on 14 August and gives an account of his audience before Charles VI on 4 September. The last two pages with their own drop-title give an account of Ibraham's meeting with Prince Eugene of Savoy on 7 September. Both accounts include lists of presents exchanged. Eugene was to receive Ibrahim Pasha again at his newly built Belvedere palace in Vienna on 2 October 1719.We have located no other copy of the present edition but the ICCU records one copy of an undated edition. It is also a 4to of 4 leaves but the fourth leaf is blank and it apparently omits the account of Ibraham's meeting with Prince Eugene which appears on the fourth leaf of the present edition. WorldCat records one copy of a German edition of the account of the meeting with Prince Eugene and three copies of a German publication on Ibrahim's arrival in Vienna.Somewhat foxed but otherwise in very good condition and wholly untrimmed preserving all deckles. An important document of the Ottoman Empire's relations with Christian Europe and a window into the opulence accompanying the diplomacy.l Cf.

P. Sto. I. P. Ste. A detailed ink drawing of the harbour of and fortifications of Edremit an Ottoman port city on the west coast of Turkey. The drawing is made after Johannes Peeter's print Ladimistri nel' archipelago originally engraved by Lucas Vorsterman the younger and first appearing 1664/65 in the series Diverse vis te! delli Dardaneli del' dtrecio come delle città e castelli nel archipelago. The series was published by Jacob Jacques Peeters 1637-1695 and the prints were engraved after drawings by his brother Jan Johannes Peeters 1625-1677 best known for his drawings of city views engraved by Merian. Johannes Peeters was a pupil of their eldest brother Bonaventura Peeters a well-known painter and draughtsman and specialized in maritime scenes.Slightly browned and with a few small and mostly marginal stains. The foremost canon appears to have lost some of its ink but the drawing is otherwise in good condition. The corners are damaged or discoloured from a previous mounting far outside the border of the drawing. unknown
