1912053689Istanbul: Matbaa-yi Bahriyye. AH 1328 1912. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Paperback in original wrappers. Demy 8vo. 21 x 14 cm. In Ottoman script Turkish with Arabic letters. 16 p. Rear cover is missing. This pamphlet mostly prepared in the form of questions and answers describes the technical infrastructure required for the use of liquid oil fuel in warships. It was prepared for officers studying at the navy schools of the Imperial Ottoman in the early 20th century. On the cover it's indicated to be translated by the Ottoman Naval Forces Commission of Engines but no information on which source to be used to translate it. It's printed after the Second Constitutional Regime in 1908 and Tripoli War in 1911 probably during the Balkan Wars 1912-1913. Following the Young Turk Revolution in 1908 the Committee of Union and Progress which effectively took control of the country sought to develop a strong Ottoman naval force. The poor condition of the fleet became evident during the Ottoman Naval Parade of 1910 and the Ottoman Navy Foundation was established in order to purchase new ships through public donations. Those who made donations received different types of medals according to the size of their contributions. In 1910 the Ottoman Navy purchased two pre-dreadnought battleships from Germany: SMS Weissenburg and her sister ship SMS Kurfürst Friedrich Wilhelm. These ships were renamed Turgut Reis and Barbaros Hayreddin respectively. The Italo-Turkish War of 1911-1912 and the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 proved disastrous for the Ottoman Empire. In the former the Italians occupied Ottoman Tripolitania present-day Libya and the Dodecanese Islands in the Aegean Sea and the Regia Marina defeated Ottoman light naval forces in the battles of Preveza Beirut and Kunfuda Bay. In the latter a smaller Greek fleet successfully engaged with Ottoman battleships in the naval skirmishes of Elli and Lemnos. The better condition of the Greek fleet in the Aegean Sea during the Balkan Wars led to the liberation of all Ottoman-held Aegean islands other than those in the Italian-occupied Dodecanese. It also prevented Ottoman reinforcements and supplies to the land battles on the Balkan peninsula where the Balkan League emerged victoriously. The only Ottoman naval successes during the Balkan Wars were the raiding actions of the light cruiser Hamidiye under the command of Rauf Orbay. For this reason the Naval Ministry on the one hand tried to train a large number of sailor officers by printing technical booklets like this in order to close the gap.

1906052696Trabzon: Trabzon Nüfus Dairesi. AH: 1322 1906. No Binding. Very Good. Original autograph 'Mürûr tezkîresi' given to Kayikçi kethüdasi Hidayetzâde Osman' for his travel to Rize by the Ottoman Census Directorate of Trebizond. 4327 cm. In Ottoman script. With special Ottoman period-stamp '2 Kurus'. Two seals on paper dated 'fî sene 5 Haziran 1322' and '1324'. i.e. AH 1906 and 1908. Folded. Some stains on paper and minimal holes. Otherwise a good copy. There were several restrictions upon the travelling inside the state during the Ottoman Period. Both local residents and foreigners had to get some official documents called as "yol hükmü hereafter the route pass" in 16th century and "Mürur Tezkiresi hereafter the trip permission" in the 19th century to travel inside the state. The administrators of the settlements in which the visitors would pass were assigned with authorities in the route passes. In this regard administrators were ordered to help the ambassadors of the foreign states traders religious people to protect them and not to disturb them with such reasons as collecting taxes as well as to assist them in getting food and drinks. In the trip permissions the information on the name of the father nationality address and travelling route of the travellers were included. During the period in which the photos didn't exist or weren't prevalent some information on the age height and physical descriptions beard moustache eye color etc. were included in the document. The owners of the trip permissions would show the documents to the local administrators or officers upon their arrival and the authorities would stamp signed and dated the back of the documents while they were leaving the settlement. In those regions where epidemics were occuring the back of the travellers' documents were written that they didn't have any diseases while leaving the state. The "mürur" trip permission was redesigned along with the modern state organization structured by II. Mahmud period. Passport regulations inside the country were institutionalized thanks to "Mürur Nizamnameleri" in this period in which there weren't official passport regulations in practice. The Rum Riots in 1820s and the abolition of Janissary corps of the Ottoman Empire in 1826 affected the mürur practices and its supervision. Following the Rum Riots there were some claims that several spies existed among the Rums in Istanbul so the Rums who lived in the settlements of Istanbul were made to pay bail after their numbers were determined. It was especially declared that those without the trip permission couldn't enter Istanbul and even couldn't go to Anatolia. In addition to the Rum Riotsan emergency state was declared due to the start of Janissary corps' riot and a great number of Janissary were killed or exiled. On the other hand it was thought that those exiled out of the state might try to come back as they were accustomed to earning their life in Istanbul and so "Mürur Nizami" practices were put into effect. Those using ferries or sailing ships on the other hand needed to submit their passports to the captains in order to get a permission form pusula in return for it. After the captains delivered the passports to the officers those who came to Istanbul would get their passports back in 24 hours while those outside Istanbul would submit the permission form and take their passports. If they intended to stay they had to predicate where and how long they will stay. When the visitors couldn't submit their passports or give a reasonable excuse they would be deported from the Ottoman territories. In the event of determining a fake passport or travel document those would be deported following the contacting with the diplomatic representatives of the other countries. Those who showed their passports wished to stay in the Ottoman Territories needed to get a residence permit from the diplomatic representatives .
