In Ottoman script. 1 b/w Selim's portrait engraving 67 p. Selim I nicknamed Yavuz "the Stern" or "the Steadfast" but often rendered in English as "the Grim" October 10 1465/1466/1470 - September 22 1520 was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1512 to 1520. His reign is notable for the enormous expansion of the Empire particularly his conquest between 1516-1517 of the entire Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt which included all of Sham Hejaz Tihamah and Egypt itself. With the heart of the Arab World now under their control the Ottomans became the dominant power in the region and in the Islamic world. Upon conquering Egypt Selim took the title of Caliph of Islam being the first Ottoman sultan to do so. He was also granted the title of "Khâdim ül Haramain ish Sharifain" Servant of the Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina by the Sharif of Mecca in 1517. Selim was also a distinguished poet who wrote both Turkish and Persian verse under the pseudonym =mahlas Selimi; collections of his Persian poetry are extant today. In one of his poems he wrote as 'A carpet is large enough to accommodate two Sufis but the world is not large enough for two kings'. Sultan Selim who spoke Arabic and Persian very fluently wrote Persian poems cursively under the nickname Selimî. Those poems are extant today at the Imperial Archives at The Topkapi Palace Museum. He had Turkish poems as well and his Persian Divân T.N. poetry book was printed in 1306 in Istanbul and was published in 1904 by Paul Horn in Berlin by the order of Wilhelm II the German Emperor. During his eight years of ruling he didn't have any time to rest he slept four hours a day and spent the rest of the day writing and reading. Sultan Selim has many powerful poems with deep meaning and artistic style. Translation from Persian by Seyh Vasfi. Mikaeloglu Antranik Efendi 1850- was a Turco-Armenian painter who worked for the Ottoman court notably regarded for his sultan portraits during the reigns of Sultan Abdülhamid II 1876-1909 Sultan Mehmed Resad 1908-1918 and Sultan Vahdeddin 1918-1922. During the administration of the last two sultans in particular he received a number of orders from the palace and while Abdülhamid II was on the throne in the 1890s he sketched gravures for Servet-i Fûnun Wealth of Sciences journal. A vast body of these gravures depicts leading names of the age -Egypt's Khedive Tevfik Pasha Abbas Pasha Sultan Abdülaziz etc. and portraits illustrating the photographs of preceding sultans as well as architectural drawings such as Süleymaniye Mosque and Ayasofya-Santa Sophia. Another record testifying to the fact that Antranik Efendi received commissions during the reign of Sultan Mehmed Resad and worked for the royal family is a 1916-dated document in Dolmabahçe Palace Museum Archive.

000195<p>16x11 cm. Contemporary Ottoman binding tooled in gold with Shamsa on each board and flap. Surah headings in gold and colors golden durations between verses and all pages out-ruled in gold. 16th c. Signed Hamdullah el Amasi. The signature due to the Era of the calligrapher and the writing character is same of the calligrapher's. Sheikh Hamdullah was born in Amasya a north-central town in Anatolia. His father Mustafa Dede was a Sheik of the Suhrawardi order and had migrated from Bukhara in present-day Uzbekistan to Anatolia. In Amasya he studied the six scripts under the tutelage of Hayreddin Mar'asi. He learned the traditional method of the old masters but struggled to reproduce it. While studying he met Bâyezïd the son of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror who was a fellow student and the pair became friends. When Bâyezïd assumed the throne in 1481 following his father's death he invited his friend Sheikh Hamdullah to the capital Istanbul. Hamdullah went on to become a master calligrapher at the Imperial Palace. In 1485 Bâyezïd II acquired seven works by the great calligrapher Yaqut al-Musta'simi. Bâyezïd then encouraged his court calligrapher Hamdullah to devise a new script inspired by the acquisition. Hamdullah regarded al-Musta'simi's work as unsurpassable but at Bâyezïd's insistence Hamdullah reluctantly agreed. Scholars have suggested that Bâyezïd's enthusiasm for a new script was symbolic of his desire to establish a new empire and a new dynasty. Hamdullah underwent a period of reclusion during which time he claimed that a prophet taught him the new scripts in a vision. He ultimately recodified and refined the nashk style of calligraphy originally developed by Yaqut al-Musta'simi. Hamdullah's scripts were more elegant balanced and legible. From 1500 the majority of Q'rans adopted Hamdallah's new style which became known as the Ottoman style or "Seyh's manner'. For this he is often considered to be the "father of Ottoman calligraphy". His many students spread his style throughout the Ottoman Empire. His style endured for 150 years making him one of the greatest Ottoman calligraphers of all time. As much as two centuries later students of calligraphy such as Hâfiz Osman continued to copy his works assiduously as part of their training. He devoted his whole life to the art of calligraphy continuing to produce works well into his 80s. He produced 47 Mus'hafs book of Quran and innumerable En'ams Evrads and Juz' a number of which are held in the collection of the Topkapi Palace.12 His inscriptions also decorate the Bâyezïd Firuzaga and Davud Mosques in Istanbul and the Bâyezïd Mosque in Erdine. His son Mawlana Dede Chalabi became a calligrapher after studying with Hamdallah his father and Hamdallah's daughter whose name is unknown married a calligrapher by the name of Shukrullah Halife of Amasya who had also been one of her father's pupils. Hamdullah's grandsons also became calligraphers; Pir Muhammad Dede d. 986/1580 son of Hamdallah's daughter and Dervish Muhammad d. 888/1483 son of Mawlana Dede. As his reputation grew many myths to his abilities outside calligraphy sprang up. It was said that he was a great archer falconer swimmer and even an extraordinary tailor. He died in Istanbul in 1520 and was buried at Karacaahmet Cemetery in the district of Üsküdar at Istanbul. Surviving examples of his works are held in the Topkapi Collection.</p> hardcover

Meclis-i Mebûsân The Chamber of Deputies of the Ottoman Empire was the lower house of the General Assembly the Ottoman Parliament. Unlike to the upper house the Senate the members of the Chamber of Deputies were elected by the general Ottoman populace although suffrage was limited to males of a certain financial standing among other restrictions that varied over the Chamber's lifetime. The Second Constitutional Era of the Ottoman Empire began shortly after Abdul Hamid II was forced to restore the constitutional monarchy after the 1908 Young Turk Revolution. The period established many political groups and parties. Ahmet Riza became the first President of the Chamber in 1908. An amendment in 1909 to the original 1876 constitution resulted in the Chamber gaining more true political power at the expense of the non-democratically elected Senate and the Sultan. A series of elections during this period resulted in the gradual ascendance of the Committee of Union and Progress's CUP domination in politics. The second largest party Liberal Unionist Party LU Turkish: Hürriyet ve Itilâf was in fact a coalition of parties led by Prince Sabahaddin. This is a rare protocol register book of Meclis-i Mebûsân.
