Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) In full leaher bdg. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 13 cm). In Ottoman script. 91 p., b/w ills. According to the Zâtî's work, Between the Balkan States which constructed regular army system newly Bulgaria had the most powerful army. Moreover, as in the case of Montenegro, with the encouragement of national feeling a country with a small army can achieve a historic victory. The defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the First Balkan War, to which Ottomans began at a superior level compared to enemies, proves this defeat was due to political reasons. Zâtî's work has some details of Balkan geography and its demographic structure and idea of Turkish / Ottoman nationalism.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In Ottoman script. 185 p. Some stains on cover and interior. Pages are very clean. Faded on margins slightly. Otherwise a good and clean copy in its original wrappers. The work, which could not be published due to the war despite the necessary permission to be published while its author was alive, was admired by those who read it before it was published, and some copies were sent to well-known authors and intellectuals of the period such as Nâmik Kemal and Recâizâde Ekrem and were appreciated by them. Completed by Râci Efendi in 1897 and published by Necmi Râci who was his son artillery major after Raci Efendi's death as a posthumous edition, the work consists of three sections under the titles "History-i Vak'a-i Zagra" [i.e. History of the events in Stara Zagora], "Hercümerc-i Kit'a-i Rumeli" [i.e. Chaos in the Rumelia Army] and "Hicretnâme" [i.e. The book of migration]. The first part, with a short introduction by Necmi Râci and the author at the beginning, was written in a style of "memoirs" and begins with the entry of the Russians into the Ottoman lands by crossing the Danube River on 21 June 1877; The news of the invasion reaching the Old Zagra, the anxious waiting here, the persecution of the Bulgarians during the Russian invasion, the rescue of the town by the Ottoman army under the rule of Süleyman Pasha, and it ends with the depiction of the immigration and the disasters that took place with a short account of Stara Zagora and environs. The first part of the second chapter summarizes the military operation on the Rumelia front during the Ninety-Three War [i.e. '93 Harbi - Russko-Turetskaya voyna 1877-1878 - Russo-Turco War 1877-78], and the mistakes made during this time and what they cost are explained. The events that took place since the beginning of January 1878, when the Russians occupied Zagra and the surrounding towns for the second time, the situation of the Muslims and the sad scenes of the second migration are described, and parts of the articles of foreign journalists who saw this disaster are also quoted. Huseyin Râci Efendi was a müfti (clergyman) in Stara Zagora during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878. (Source: Islam Ansiklopedisi). This war was a conflict between the Ottoman Empire and the Eastern Orthodox coalition led by the Russian Empire and composed of Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro. Fought in the Balkans and in the Caucasus, it originated in emerging 19th-century Balkan nationalism. Additional factors included Russian goals of recovering territorial losses endured during the Crimean War of 1853-56, re-establishing itself in the Black Sea, and supporting the political movement attempting to free Balkan nations from the Ottoman Empire. The Russian-led coalition won the war, pushing the Turks back all the way to the gates of Constantinople but for the timely intervention of the western European great powers. (Wikipedia).

In 12°; 125, (9) pp. e 120 pp. Legatura coeva in piena pelle con cornice a doppio filetto a secco ai piatti. Filetti e autori e titolo in oro al dorso. Testi in greco e latino a fronte. Seconde rare edizioni, quanto le prime, pubblicate per la prima volta a Roma l'anno precedente, di due opere dell'antichità classica andate a lungo perdute. La prima opera è uno scritto del filosofo neoplatonico Sallustio che visse a Roma nel IV secolo. Amico personale dell'imperatore romano Giuliano condividendone il programma di restaurazione dell'antica religione romana. Persona dalla profonda saggezza fu apprezzato anche da almeno altri tre imperatori che successero a Giuliano che gli confermarono la carica di prefetto del pretorio d'Oriente. Libanio lo lodò come funzionario incorruttibile, Imerio gli indirizzò un'orazione in cui lo definiva un vero servitore e rappresentante dello stato: Gli stessi cristiani, che subirono le persecuzioni di Giuliano, anche su suggerimento dello stesso Sallustio, ne lodarono, nonostante tutto l'equilibrio. Fu persona dalla notevole erudizione. Pur mutuando numerose tesi da diversi neoplatonici, Sallustio seppe elaborare alcune teorie del tutto originali come ad esempio, quella sull'origine del “male”. Sallustio scrisse il trattato qui presentato, dedicato all'importanza degli dei e del loro culto, presumibilmente, come parte degli sforzi dell'imperatore Giuliano per rafforzare l'antica religione pagana contro il cristianesimo che si stava affermando. Il testo rimase sconosciuto per numerosi secoli, fino a quando il noto studioso e teologo, Leone Allacci (Chio, Chios in greco, 1586 circa – Roma, 19 gennaio 1669) lo rinvenne fra i manoscritti conservati della Biblioteca Vaticana. L'opera fu curata e tradotta in latino, dal filologo di Amburgo Lukas Holste (1596-1661), segretario e bibliotecario del cardinale Francesco Barberini prima ed in seguito, bibliotecario del Vaticano. La seconda opera raccoglie le sentenze morali pitagoriche del filosofo Pseudo-Demofilo. Anche questa è una seconda edizione dopo la prima edizione romana dell'anno precedente. Testo greco con a fronte traduzione latina a cura di Lucas Holstenius. Infine, alle pagine 104-109, ci sono versi del bibliotecario bulgaro Johannes Pediasimus sugli orrori o le gioie della cattiva o buona moglie: Desiderium. De muliere mala - de muliere bona. Rif. Bibl.: Per la prima opera: Goldschnitt Hoffmann III, 528; Schweiger I, 284; Houzeau/Lancaster I, 1027. Per la seconda opera: Schweiger I, 86; Hoffmann II, 10 (sotto Demophilus).
