Very Good Turkish Original four huge gelatin silver prints mounted on signed cardboards by Muhittin, who was the chief of the Electric Company Committee in Bursa. Cardboard size: 34x30 cm; photograph size: 23,5x17,5 cm. Fine silver prints of the decorative elements of Selimiye Mosque (two photos), Üç Serefeli Mosque, and Bayezid II Mosque. The photos of Selimiye Mosque show interior decorations in the building, the door of Üç Serefeli Mosque, and a window sash of Bayezid II Mosque. Üç Serefeli Mosque is a 15th-century Ottoman mosque, that was commissioned by Ottoman sultan Murad II and built between 1438-1447. It is located in the historical center of the city, close to the Selimiye Mosque and Old Mosque. The name refers to an unusual minaret with three balconies. The architect of the mosque is not known. The two blue and turquoise underglaze-painted tile panels in the tympana of the windows were probably produced by the same group of tilemakers who had decorated the Yesil Mosque (1419-21) in Bursa where the tiles are signed as "the work of the masters of Tabriz" ('amal-i ustadan-i Tabriz). The Complex of Sultan Bayezid II is a külliye located in Edirne, built-in 1488 by the Ottoman architect Mimar Hayruddin for Sultan Bayezid II (reigned 1481-1512). And Selimiye Mosque is an Ottoman imperial mosque, The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Selim II, and was built by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan between 1568 and 1575. The mosque's courtyard forms a dramatic approach that helps to frame the view of the main dome from outside. The central outer gate on the northwest side of the courtyard is unusually simple, as the customary muqarnas canopy is replaced by a simple round arch. Inside, the courtyard is surrounded by four porticos of arches and domes. The southeastern portico, immediately preceding the entrance to the prayer hall, is significantly taller than the other three porticos in order to match the great height of the mosque itself. This portico is composed of three wide arches with two very small arches between them, a configuration vaguely resembling a triumphal arch and very different from the earlier monumental portico designed by Sinan for the Süleymaniye Mosque. The façades above these arches are decorated with two marble circles inscribed with quotes from the Qur'an. The large lower windows around the courtyard are surmounted by decorative lunettes, except for the two windows on either side of the entrance portal, which are set below muqarnas niches instead. The lunettes of the windows on the prayer hall side are filled with Iznik tiles painted with calligraphy. The photographs in this small collection were taken by the chief of the Electric Company Committee in Bursa city, probably for an architectural project.

Good Turkish Missing covers with original end-papers. Slight tears on end-papers. Overall a good copy. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 16 cm). In Gagauz Turkish. 40, 4 p., b/w ills. First edition of this extremely rare translation in book form, which is the first comprehensive book on the Bessarabian Gagauz people, translated from the magazine "Viata Bessarabiei" in 1933... Ciachir worked for the Romanian magazine titled "Viata Basarabiei" [i.e. The life of Bessarabia] between 1933-34. Mihail Ciachir (or Çakir) was a Protoiereus and educator in the Gagauz language, and the first publisher of Gagauz books in the erstwhile Russian Empire and in the Soviet Union. Ciachir was born in the Bessarabian village of Ceadîr-Lunga, in a Gagauz deacon's family. Bessarabia is a historical region in Eastern Europe, bounded by the Dniester river on the east and the Prut river on the west. About two-thirds of Bessarabia lies within modern-day Moldova, with the Ukrainian Budjak region covering the southern coastal region and part of the Ukrainian Chernivtsi Oblast covering a small area in the north. In the aftermath of the Russo-Turkish War (1806-1812), and the ensuing Peace of Bucharest, the eastern parts of the Principality of Moldavia, an Ottoman vassal, along with some areas formerly under direct Ottoman rule, were ceded to Imperial Russia. The acquisition was among the Empire's last territorial acquisitions in Europe. The newly acquired territories were organized as the Bessarabia Governorate of the Russian Empire, adopting a name previously used for the southern plains between the Dniester and the Danube rivers. Following the Crimean War, in 1856, the southern areas of Bessarabia were returned to Moldavian rule; Russian rule was restored over the whole of the region in 1878, when Romania, the result of Moldavia's union with Wallachia, was pressured into exchanging those territories for the Dobruja. In 1917, in the wake of the Russian Revolution, the area constituted itself as the Moldavian Democratic Republic, an autonomous republic part of a proposed federative Russian state. Bolshevik agitation in late 1917 and early 1918 resulted in the intervention of the Romanian Army, ostensibly to pacify the region. Soon after, the parliamentary assembly declared independence, and then union with the Kingdom of Romania. However, the legality of these acts was disputed, most prominently by the Soviet Union, which regarded the area as a territory occupied by Romania. The Gagauz people is living mostly in southern Moldova (Gagauzia, Taraclia District, Basarabeasca District) and southwestern Ukraine (Budjak). Gagauz is mostly Eastern Orthodox Christians. The term Gagauz is also often used as a collective naming of Turkic people living in the Balkans, speaking Balkan Gagauz Turkish. The origin of the Gagauz is obscure. At the beginning of the 20th century, a Bulgarian historian counted 19 different theories about their origin. A few decades later the Gagauz ethnologist M. N. Guboglo increases the number to 21. In some of those theories, the Gagauz people are presented as descendants of the Pechenegs, Cumans-Kipchaks, or a clan of Seljuk Turks, or a mix of all. The fact that their confession is Eastern Orthodox Christianity may suggest that their ancestors already lived in the Balkans prior to the Ottoman conquest in the late 14th century. (Wikipedia).
