Very Good Turkish Modern cloth bdg. 4to. (27 x 20 m). In Turkish. 201 p., 7 military plans in the end-pocket (no missing). Türklerle beraber Süveys Kanalina. Translated by Mazhar Besim Özalpsan. Scarce First Edition. Only one copy located in OCLC: 69392693 (Bogaziçi University Library). Kress von Kressenstein was a German general from Nuremberg. He was a member of the group of German officers who assisted in the direction of the Ottoman Army during World War I. Kress von Kressenstein was part of the military mission of Otto Liman von Sanders to the Ottoman Empire, which arrived shortly before World War I broke out. Kress came from a patrician family in Nuremberg. His father, Georg Kress von Kressenstein (1840-1911), was a high court judge. Kress von Kressenstein joined the Bavarian army as an ensign in the artillery in 1888. In Palestine during the WW 1, Kress joined Djemal Pasha's army in Palestine as a military engineer and was later chief of staff. Djemal Pasha was given the job by the Turkish leader Enver Pasha of capturing or disabling the Suez Canal. This effort is called the First Suez Offensive, and it occurred in January 1915. Kress von Kressenstein was responsible for creating special boats for crossing the canal (pontoons) as well as organizing the crossing of the Sinai desert. While the desert was crossed with little loss of life, the British were aware of their approach and their attack on the Suez came as no surprise to the defenders. The Ottoman forces were repulsed easily and after two days of fighting, they retreated. Kress von Kressenstein's special pontoons were never used. More than a year passed when the Ottomans tried a second attack on the Suez. With Djemal Pasha directing affairs from his base in Damascus, Kress von Kressenstein led a larger Ottoman army across the Sinai desert, again. This attack ran into a strong British defensive fortification at Romani, 40 kilometres (25 mi) east of the canal. The Ottoman army prepared a major set-piece assault on Romani, scheduled for 3 August 1916. The attack was beaten off and again the Ottomans retreated back to their bases in Palestine. The British responded with an attack of their own. They captured some small Ottoman forts in the Sinai, built a railroad and water pipe across the desert and then launched an assault on the Ottoman fort at Gaza. Kress von Kressenstein was in charge of the Ottoman defences along with General Tala Bey. In the First Battle of Gaza (March 1917), the British were defeated, largely due to their own errors. In the Second Battle of Gaza in April 1917, the British were defeated again, the credit for this victory largely going to Kress von Kressenstein. The British removed their unsuccessful generals and replaced them with General Allenby. The Ottomans also replaced their top leadership, bringing in the former Chief of the German General Staff, General von Falkenhayn. Kress von Kressenstein was kept on as commander of the Ottoman 8th Army defending Gaza and he was also awarded Prussia's highest order, the Pour le Mérite. In November 1917, the British under General Allenby breached the Ottoman defensive positions at the Battle of Beersheba and the Third Battle of Gaza. Kress von Kressenstein was able to withdraw his defeated troops in fairly good order to new defensive positions in the north. In the middle of 1918, with the Ottoman-German alliance breaking down, Kress von Kressenstein was sent with a small German force to Georgia (Caucasus), that was protected by Germany after its independence. He helped to frustrate the Red Army's invasion of Georgian region Abkhazia. (Source: Wikipedia). This is the first and only Turkish translation of his memoirs in Palestine during World War 1.

1st Separate Edition. Original Wrappers. 12mo. 5 pages ; 16 cm. Printed as a tri-fold pamphlet with text on every page but the cover. Reprinted from the New York Evening Post (December 12, 1917) by the Zionist Organization of America. Published the year after the FAZ was renamed and Zionist Organization of America is printed on the title page. In 1909 Friedlander became the founding president of Young Judaea, an amalgam of several Zionist youth groups. In 1912, together with Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, a professor of homiletics and philosophy of religion at the Jewish Theological Seminary, he guided young Jewish adults in combating assimilation into secular American society or Reform circles. These efforts resulted in a popular lecture series, which were a predecessor of the Young Israel movement to combat the wave of assimilation by Jews .He was part of the Governing Board of the Intercollegiate Menorah Society, the Executive Committee of Bureau of Education of the Jewish Community of New York City and the Executive Committee of the Federation of American Zionists. He was known for his ardent support of Zionism. In 1918, Friedlander was invited to travel to Mandate Palestine as the Jewish representative of a Red Cross relief mission. In January 1920, Friedlander traveled to Poland as part of a four-member commission of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to distribute $35 million to starving Jews in Poland and Ukraine. The US State Department gave its permission for the trip, but would not issue passports or afford any protection to the commission members. On July 5, Friedlander and Rabbi Bernard Cantor were murdered by soldiers of the Red Cavalry near Kamenetz-Podolsk, Ukraine (Wikipedia, 2018).

In 8 (cm 15 x 22), pp. 32. Brossura editoriale con lievi mancanze al margine inferiore del piatto posteriore. Resoconto del viaggio in Oriente fatto da un gruppo di persone partite da Milano nell'anno 1874. L'opuscolo riporta, con errore di stampa, la data 1872 (ma con tutta probabilita' 1877). L'autore e' padre Gaetano Rizzi, uno dei membri della comitiva, fra gli altri partecipanti vi erano: Antonio Stoppani, professore di geologia, l'avvocato inglese Norman Basalget, il conte Lumiares Falco' Quanito, Don Antonio Ceroli della Biblioteca Ambrosiana e altri...Antonio Stoppani dara' il suo personale resoconto del viaggio nel libro intitolato "Da Milano a Damasco. Ricordo di una carovana milanese" pubblicato nel 1888 in cui descrisse usi e costumi delle popolazioni incontrate oltre a paesaggio e alla morfologia dei territori visitati. In questo breve saggio, Gaetano Rizzi comincia il suo racconto da Damasco, poi lo spostamento da Damasco a Beirut passando per Baalbek con il resoconto dell'incidente occorso a Stoppani: un cavallo della carovana colpisce con un calcio la gamba di Stoppani durante la traversata del deserto. Stoppani viene aiutato e medicato da alcuni Turchi del luogo, quindi la carovana si divide: Stoppani ed altri rientrano a Damasco, alcuni proseguono il viaggio.

br. Cosa sappiamo della Giudea della prima metà del I secolo? Sicuramente molto. I Vangeli e le opere di Flavio Giuseppe forniscono una mole di informazioni unica per la storia antica. Eppure l'importanza che questi anni hanno assunto per la storia successiva ha spesso spinto ad ingigantire gli avvenimenti accaduti in questo arco di tempo o a guardarli attraverso la lente deformante della storia degli effetti, o, peggio, ad isolarli rispetto al più ampio contesto imperiale romano. L'enorme visibilità che Gesù ha dato a quanti sono entrati con lui in contatto - farisei, scribi, sommi sacerdoti, Ponzio Pilato... - ha fatto perdere di vista la reale dimensione storica di queste figure, il loro effettivo ruolo politico-sociale e i poteri concreti di cui disponevano. E così, in modo quasi paradossale, il contesto politico e sociale con cui Gesù entra in contatto nella brevissima parentesi del suo operato pubblico è stato elevato a immagine dell'intero giudaismo del I secolo. L'intento di questo volume è quello di restituire alla dinamica della storia quel periodo fondamentale che va dal 4 a.C., anno in cui muore Erode, al 44 d.C., quando finisce la breve esperienza di Agrippa I, ultimo re nella storia di Israele: sono anni densi e complessi in cui Roma proverà, per scelta di Augusto, a rinunciare all'appoggio di un re-vassallo e a imporre, non senza esitazioni, errori e ripensamenti, il proprio controllo sulla regione.
