First and only edition of a report about the Sinai and Palestine campaign 1915-1918 in Ottoman Turkish translation. This second half of this campaign was led by General Edmund Henry Hynman Allenby 1st Viscount Allenby 1861-1936. He commanded the Egyptian Expeditionary Force EEF then part of the British army against the Ottoman Empire in the conquest of Palestine in 1917-1918. The EEF succeeded in capturing Beersheba Jaffa and Jerusalem in late 1917 as well as the Jordan valley and Northern Palestine in 1918. The present work is a translation of Allenby's reports which cover the period between December 1917 when the British entered Jerusalem and September 1918 when General Allenby started a new campaign resulting in the capture of Damascus and Aleppo. The report begins with operations to make Jaffa and Jerusalem safe against Turkish counterattacks and continues with Allenby's succesful attacks on Jericho the Jordan Valley and As-Salt. The EEF won numerous other battles in the region before the Armistice of Mudros ended the campaign in October 1918. Allenby then became the High Commisioner in Egypt and Sudan from 1919-1925.With an inscription on the title page and on the back wrapper.

1927208311927. Photo album documenting a multi country group यातà¥à¤°à¤¾ in 1927 records interwar travel across southern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean including regions under colonial administration and recent political transition. The album follows a group of travelers moving from France through Italy Greece Turkey British administered Palestine and Egypt capturing urban landmarks archaeological sites and local populations encountered along the route. The sequence provides visual evidence of tourism infrastructure mobility and cross cultural observation during a period when former imperial territories such as Constantinople were undergoing redefinition following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of modern nation states.<br /> <br /> Album contains 93 black and white silver gelatin photographs and four real photo postcards with images ranging approximately from 2.5 x 4 inches to 3.5 x 5.5 inches and one larger group photograph measuring about 9 x 7 inches. Photographs are mounted on black paper boards with handwritten captions in white pencil and interleaved tissue guards; string bound in patterned cloth boards. The album opens in Avignon with views of St. Pierre's Church and the Palais des Papes then continues through Italy with scenes of Naples and Pompeii as well as shipboard images captioned S.S. Adriatic. Subsequent sections include Athens with views of the Parthenon followed by Constantinople where four postcards depict the harbor the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Hagia Sophia shortly after the end of the Ottoman Empire. In British Mandate Palestine images show street scenes in Nazareth and Jerusalem including sites along the River Jordan the Western Wall and the Garden of Gethsemane alongside a captioned portrait labeled "A Jewish Maiden." The album concludes in Egypt with extensive views of archaeological and urban sites at Thebes Memphis Cairo and Luxor including the Obelisk of Hatshepsut Edfu Temple the tomb of Amenhotep II the Colossi of Memnon and the pyramids and Great Sphinx at Giza where the final group portrait shows the travelers posed on camels.<br /> <br /> Produced during the interwar period the album reflects expanding international tourism networks alongside ongoing European influence in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. The juxtaposition of ancient sites modern transport and local populations situates the material within broader histories of archaeology empire and travel culture in the early twentieth century. Light general wear to album and mounts; images well preserved with clear captions; overall very good condition. unknown

Manuscript table of contents on recto of first leaf describes nine tales in German told by Ascher Horowitz and T. Holpern on first 51 pp: 'Jewish Tales from Jerusalem 1 Dear Aschmadai 2 Reb Itzchak Alchonon der Heilige 3 Ein Brief zu Gott 4 Die Hyaene 5 Die Hungersnoth in Jerusalem 6 Der Reich Mann mit seinen Soehnen 7 Der Mann der neimals sorgte 8 Der Edelmann Ahron beim Graefen von Polen 9 Wie ein Rabbiner seine Tochter verheiratete.'

22255'Darlington 21/7mo July 1853'. See Sams's entry in the Oxford DNB. 4pp 12mo. On a bifolium the second leaf of which has had a rectangle almost amounting to half cut away from the bottom. The text of the letter is complete but the priced list of the prints and drawings on the last page lacks the lower half. A long letter closely written. Signed 'J. Sams.' Aged worn and lightly stained but nevertheless in passable condition. The recipient saluted as 'Esteemed Friend' is not named. In the first paragraph Sams is at pains to explain his bookselling practice as founded on plain dealing: 'I have been from home to York & other places & this is the first day I have had here since thine came. I regret the circumstance fearing it may cause to suppose I have been inattentive ot the request sent. As a rule the wish is to put all as cheap as may be & not take back. One great difficulty as to return is especially of a fine work likely to be noticed as this people have remarked last word underlined the book not seeing it as usual suppose it sold & gone even if they are not so informed. Consequently to see it come back again they suppose somethg. sic is the matter & the sale of the work afterwards; is probably much injured. Sometimes also some injury arises in carriage two ways.' But to a much respected customer I will look carefully among my plates & try to accommodate – tho' the risk at which I have made free to hint is very considerable.' He continues at equal length in the same idiosyncratic tone regarding his plan to 'forward a collection of fine & curious coloured prints all of which have their original marks but I should have said a number are coloured drawings'. After sending respects to 'thyself & daughter' he signs 'in haste J. Sams.' The reverse of the second leaf carries a list of fourteen of the prints and drawings with prices most marked with pencil crosses to indicate that they are desired. A fifteenth entry ends abruptly indicating that the bottom part of the list has been cut away. 'Darlington 21/7mo (July) 1853'. unknown
22242Both from Darlington. 15 and 17 August 1847. See Sams's entry in the Oxford DNB. Two letters providing an interesting glimpse of the practicalities of Victorian antiquarian bookselling. Both letters 3pp 12mo and bifoliums addressed on reverse of second leaf with broken seals and postmarks to 'Godfrey Meynell Esqre at Mr Stamp's Surgeon Seaton Carew nr Hartlepool.' Both addressed to 'Respected Frd.' In fair condition aged and worn. ONE: 15 August 1847. He begins by explaining that he was 'from home in the city of Durham' when Meynell's letter came. Sams explains the pricing of two items in his catalogue beginning with: 'The reduced price to give satisfaction that the rare Chaucer 1542 folio was put at was £2. 15s. 6d tho' it was considered modest at a guinea more 3. 13. 6'. The second book 'the Anglo Poetica' 'has not a word said for binding therefore it is to be taken as in old binding for when in Russia they carefully state it & when extra bd neat &c. But the present is very neat in the original oak bds covered with leather a state generally quite prized.' He discusses the cost of delivery: 'The carriage I do not suppose will be above a shilling which is the price to York much further than Seaton. However as perhaps the gentleman to whom I now write may be a customer hereafter I have determined to sustain the further loss tho' not intended to go at the least under the £2. 15s. 6 & on receing a line saying the exact mode by which this work is to be sent & whether by coach or merchant train the post order can be enclosed in the letter it shall be very carefully packed & sent as may be pointed out.' He ends with the information that 'a gentleman I saw at Durham since I have been away spoke to me about this very work & it seems likely he will call abt. It when this way at not less than 3£. or 3. 3s. Had it not the little injury it is supposed it wd. be well worth even 5£. now.' TWO: 17 August 1847. Begins: 'Thine has come to hand - the rare edition of Chaucer has been gone thro' leaf by leaf & it seems quite difficult to collate for the paging is very often wrong but the catchwords prove nothing to be wanting. Yet we fear 1 or 2 leaves are wanting in the interior quite perfect at beginning & end tho' difficult to ascertain as clearly as could be wished.' Sams is 'striving to leave for the Metropolis' the following day '& time being exceedingly precious so close attention has not been given to the looking over the book as could otherwise.' He suggests a price of £2 15s for 'this rare book which is remarkable in having the original first & second titles as well as last leaf &c & also for being in the original oak bds neatly covered with embossed leather'. He ends: 'I think of keeping it apprehending it wd. bring that or more at auction even.' A postscript concerns catalogue orders and ends: 'The christn. name is Joseph -'. In another hand Meynell's beneath the address on the reverse of the second leaf is an eight-line note on the faults in a book the Chaucer beginning: 'In the prologue at least 2 leaves are wanting that is from verse 505 to 715 -'. Both from Darlington. 15 and 17 August 1847. hardcover

1910053731The Ottoman Empire: Ottoman Directorate of Mapping. c. 1910 1910. No Binding. Very Good. Original lithograph map with brown white and blue tons. 81x57 cm. In Ottoman script Old Turkish with Arabic letters. All toponyms are in Ottoman Turkish and Arabic. Scale: 1:500000. Shows Mediterranean shores on the north Bahr-i Lût i.e. the Dead Sea Aqaba Bay areas of Arabic tribes in very detail in addition special huge lands like 'Al-Hism Land'. Also it shows holy places antiquities fortresses rivers; and Turkish Sanjaks Qazas Nahiyes Qariyes based on the Ottoman administrative system. Cartographer is not indicated but it's composed for military purposes in the last period of the Imperial Ottoman especially for showing Arabian tribes spreading over vast areas in its period just before World War 1 date of the printing of this map such as 'Houtat Tribe'. A very detailed and attractive map of Palestine and Quds area and their topography. Following the Muslim conquest of Palestine in 636-640 several Muslim ruling dynasties succeeded each other as they wrestled control of Palestine: the Rashiduns; the Umayyads who built the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem; the Abbasids; the semi-independent Tulunids and the Ikhshidids; the Fatimids; and the Seljuks. In 1099 the Crusaders established the Kingdom of Jerusalem in Palestine which the Ayyubid Sultanate conquered in 1187. The Crusaders failed to retake Palestine despite further attempts. The Egyptian Mamluks took Palestine from the Mongols who had conquered the Ayyubid Sultanate in 1260. The Ottomans captured Palestine in 1516 and ruled it until Egypt took it in 1832. Eight years later the United Kingdom intervened and returned the region to the Ottomans. Considerable demographic changes happened during the 19th century and with the regional migrations of Druze Circassians and Bedouin tribes. The emergence of Zionism also brought many Jewish immigrants from Europe and the revival of the Hebrew language. Arabs in Palestine both Christian and Muslim settled and Bedouin were historically split between the Qays and Yaman factions. These divisions had their origins in pre-Islamic tribal feuds between Northern Arabians Qaysis and Southern Arabians Yamanis. The strife between the two tribal confederacies spread throughout the Arab world with their conquests subsuming even uninvolved families so that the population of Palestine identified with one or the other. Their conflicts continued after the 8th-century Civil war in Palestine until the early 20th century and gave rise to differences in customs tradition and dialect which remain to this day. Beit Sahour was first settled in the 14th century by a handful of Christian and Muslim clans hamula from Wadi Musa in Jordan the Christian Jaraisa and the Muslim Shaybat and Jubran who came to work as shepherds for Bethlehem's Christian landowners and they were subsequently joined by other Greek Orthodox immigrants from Egypt in the 17th-18th centuries. Due to the legacy of the Ottoman period the ethnic origins of some rural and urban Palestinians are either Albanian Circassian or from other non-Arab populations. <br/> <br/> [Ottoman Directorate of Mapping]., [c. 1910] unknown
