ANNOTATED THROUGHOUT BY JACQUES-AUGUSTE DE THOU AT AGE TWENTY. He 1553-1617 acquired this copy in 1573 a transitional year spent in Paris between his legal studies and his Italian travels. Among the earliest purchases he made for his library this book offered a template for his life's work A History of His Own Times 1604-9: "an unsurpassable model.the heir of ancient historiography" DLLF tr. It covers the sixty-four years from 1543 to 1607 marked by unrest and civil war in France. Herodian a Roman historian who wrote in Greek also chose a tumultuous period - the fifty-eight years from 180 to 238. He recounts the reigns of seventeen Emperors many assassinated. Both men were eye witnesses to some of the events they record. DE THOU MARKED UP THE GREEK TEXT ON EVERY PAGE underscoring words and passages as mnemonics and glossing the margins with citations to secondary sources. These reveal his reading habits his developing sense of historical method comparing differing accounts of the same events and the books he had to hand while reading Herodian whom de Thou credits with informing his views History Book LXVII.

1918M2BH82CWPN7GDamascus: Field Survey Company. R.E. E.E.F. 1918. Map of Damascus 73.5 x 51 cm printed in black and tan on a scale of 1:10000. Extremely rare British map of Damascus with a more detailed inset map of the area around Kadem Station to the west of the city centre the northern terminus of the Hejaz railway between Damascus and Medina especially rare in its present first state published by the British forces only a week after the fall of Damascus. Drafted by the Royal Engineers from a captured enemy map dated June 1918 with additional detail of Kadem Station from aeroplane photographs taken by the R.A.F. and printed under the surveyors supervision in the field probably in Damascus on a portable press carried by the Field Survey Company.The ancient city of Damascus one of the final prizes taken by the British and allied forces in World War I was long a great cultural centre the head of the Syrian Hajj Road and more recently the northern terminus of the Hejaz Railway and the headquarters of the Ottoman-German forces in the Middle East. In the last months of the war British forces met stiff resistance in Palestine and it was only weeks before the end of the conflict that they managed to break into Syria. British forces and their allies captured the Damascus on 1 October 1918. Lawrence of Arabia who was part of the conquering force was disappointed not to have been amongst the first allied troops to enter the city especially as he envisaged Damascus as the future capital of an independent and unified Arab state and Prince Feisals army supported the British and allied forces with that understanding unaware that the British and French in 1916 had made a secret agreement to divide the Ottoman territories outside the Arabian peninsula among themselves. Although Feisals troops did raise their flag in Damascus on 1 October and declare an independent Syrian state it was in fact to be ruled as a French protectorate until 1945.All maps printed by British and allied forces in the field in the Middle East during WWI are extreme rarities. The present map would have been issued in only a very small print run for the use of senior British officers and printed on fragile paper in a large format its survival rate would have been very low. We can trace only a single other example of the map in its present first state held by the British Library. The British forces printed the map in a second state with some revisions for the Survey of Egypt in 1919 but it is also extremely rare in that second state.In very good condition clean and bright with just some minor creasing from having been rolled for many years.l British Library Cartographic Items: Maps 48855.11; WorldCat 557017180 same copy; cf. 557017192: 1 copy of 1919 revision.

Evliya Çelebi was son of the chief court jeweler, he was educated in a madrasah (Islamic college) and a Qur?an school in Constantinople; and, excelling as a Qur'ân reciter, he was shown favour by the reigning sultan, Murad IV. Entering the Ottoman palace school, he developed skills in Arabic, calligraphy, and music. Under the patronage of the court he began the journeys that took him from Belgrade to Baghdad and from Crimea to Cairo, sometimes as an official representative of the government and sometimes on his own. The result of these travels was his masterwork, the Seyahatname (1898-1939; 'Book of Travels'). This work is also referred to as the Tarih-i seyyah ('Chronicle of a Traveler'). Evliya possessed a vivid imagination, occasionally mixing fact and fantasy; he described places he could not possibly have visited. Noted for his fascinating anecdotes and charming style, he wrote about the ethnography, history, and geography of the Ottoman Empire and neighbouring lands and about the inner workings of the Ottoman government during the 17th century. (Source: Britannica). Currently there is no English translation of the entire Seyahatname, although there are translations of various parts. The longest single English translation was published in 1834 by Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall, an Austrian orientalist: it may be found under the name "Evliya Efendi." Von Hammer-Purgstall's work covers the first two volumes (Istanbul and Anatolia) but its language is antiquated. Other translations include Erich Prokosch's nearly complete translation into German of the tenth volume, the 2004 introductory work entitled The World of Evliya Çelebi: An Ottoman Mentality written by University of Chicago professor Robert Dankoff, and Dankoff and Sooyong Kim's 2010 translation of select excerpts of the ten volumes, An Ottoman Traveller: Selections from the Book of Travels of Evliya Çelebi. Evliya is noted for having collected specimens of the languages in each region he traveled in. There are some 30 Turkic dialects and languages cataloged in the Seyâhatnâme. Çelebi notes the similarities between several words from the German and Persian, though he denies any common Indo-European heritage. The Seyâhatnâme also contains the first transcriptions of many languages of the Caucasus and Tsakonian, and the only extant specimens of written Ubykh outside the linguistic literature.

Cfr. Tooley’s Dictionary of Mapmakers, p. 147 - Graesse,II, 335. "Olivier Dapper (1636-1689), médecin hollandais, joignit à la pratique de son art l'étude de l'histoire et surtout de la géographie. Il recueillit tout ce qui pouvait faire connaitre les pays étrangers, et composa des descriptions très étendues et très intéressantes. Il orna ses ouvrages de cartes et de figures nombreuses. Les planches, bien dessinées et gravées avec soin, représentent avec assez de fidelité les lieux les plus importants et les usages des habitants. Parmi ses ouvrages (sur l'Afrique, l'Asie, la Perse, l'Amérique et la Terre australe), la ‘Description de l’Asie, contenant la Syrie et la Palestine ou la Terre Sainte’, traduit en allemand, Amsterdam, 1681, c’est le plus beau des ouvrages de Dapper”.

1930151871Beirut: Imp. Jeanne D'Arc 1930. A scarce handbook of French colonial rule in the Middle East First edition first impression of this scarce aide-mémoire compiled by the French High Commission for colonial administrators in its Syrian and Lebanese mandates. Copies appear in just eight institutions five French on WorldCat and in the Qatar National Library. The work opens with information on the costume character finances and nomadic patterns of different peoples followed by sections offering detailed discussion of tribes grouped into regions such as Damascus and its environs Alleppo Deir ez Zor and the Djebel Druze. To assist French colonial officials the work outlines the leadership and intertribal relations of each group while the map depicts where tribes are expected to be in winter and summer according to their nomadic patterns. With the size of each tribe's name on the map corresponding to their importance colonial officials could see at a glance how seasonal changes would impact French governance. The fluidity of nomadic movements across the boundaries of the mandate highlights the arbitrary and theoretical nature of colonial territory and borders and the extent to which French imperial authority was "illegitimate and thus unstable" Khoury p. 4. This copy is intriguingly inscribed on the front free endpaper in French "De la part de votre tout dévoué Dictionnaire géographique Beyrouth 23-12-31 Clerris " "On behalf of your totally devoted Geographical Dictionary Beirut 23-12-31 Clerris " with another ownership inscription below.
