Besibiryerde. Compiling the visual odyssey of our beloved borough of Üsküdar, spanning 500 years from the 1420s up until the 1950s, "The golden city" album aims at presenting the pertinent documents of the historical heritage that Üsküdar possesses. The paintings, etchings, photographs, postcards, and maps incorporated into the book all function to adequately and efficiently reflect and convety a semblance of the likeness of the past times pertaining to the "Eternal city" Üsküdar (Scutari) the our present day, and carry them forward to to posterity.

Das Gros der Karten, nämlich 35, hat die Länder Europas zum Inhalt, darunter 16 betreffend Deutschland und 7, die Österreich-Ungarn abbilden. Im Vergleich zu den beiden Ausgaben des Vorläuferwerks von Bromme (1862, 1864) wurde vorliegender, von Carl Gustav Reuschle (1812-75), einem Mathematiker und Gymnasialprofessor in Stuttgart, verantwortete Atlas um 5, vorwiegend Deutschland betreffende Karten erweitert [»Europa, Flüsse und Gebirge« (Nr. 4), »Deutschland, physisch« (Nr. 32), »Mecklenburg, Schleswig-Holstein und Lauenburg« (Nr. 41), »Hessen« (Nr. 43) und »Elsass und Lothringen« (Nr. 44)]. Weiters sind die Karten nun flächen- und nicht mehr nur umrisskoloriert (ausgenommen die Meere). Die Karten »Türkei in Europa« (Nr. 20) bzw. »Spanien und Portugal« (Nr. 24) wurden von Ernst Serth neu gezeichnet. Neu gefertigt sind auch sämtliche Xylographien, der Text wurde von Reuschle ebenfalls grundlegend überarbeitet und aktualisiert. – Bindung: Der opulente Einband wurde von der Buchbinderei A. Welser aus Arad (heute Rumänien) hergestellt; auf dem fliegenden Vorsatz recto befindet sich ein entsprechender Blindstempel. – Erhaltung: Wie zumeist aufgrund der vermutlich häufigen Verwendung mit Gebrauchsspuren; der Rücken des opulenten Einbands an den Gelenken und Kapitale fachkundig erneuert, Tafeln und Textblätter an den Rändern mitunter und stellenweise etwas finger-, stock- und wasserfleckig, die auf dünnem Maschinenpapier gedruckten Textblätter mit Einrissen und kleinen Fehlstellen an den Rändern. – Seltenheit: Im Handel selten, JAP und APO weisen für die letzten rund 30 Jahre lediglich 4 Auktionsergebnisse aus.

[Cina Asia Geografia](cm. 24)Bossura editriale fig a colori. -pp. 173 L'opera geografica di Martino Martini rappresentò una svolta nella conoscenza della Cina perché frutto, per la prima volta, di studio diretto delle fonti cinesi e di ricerche effettuate sul campo da un missionario che conosceva bene la lingua mandarina e poteva dialogare con tutti. Martino Martini, gesuita trentino, nel 1655 offrì all'Europa una grande descrizione cartografica e geografica dell'estremo oriente, basandosi oltre che sull'esperienza, sui trattati in lingua cinese. Per evitare che le sue infrmazioni sparissero con il tempo, si affidò al maggior editorre dell'eopoce, Blaeu Joan di Amsterdam. Dopo 350 anni dalla morte del Martini, Castelnovi, esamina i ruolo del NOVUS ATLAS SINENSIS nella cartografia europea. Usuali segni d'uso alla brossura, erfetto all'interno. [n45] Libro

New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English and Turkish. 630 p., ills. Horizons of the world: Festschrift for Isenbike Togan.= Hûdudü'l-âlem: Isenbike Togan'a armgan. Edited by Ilker Evrim Binbas, Nurten Kiliç-Schubel. The articles gathered in this volume are dedicated to Professor Isenbike Togan by her students, colleagues, and friends to honor and celebrate her long and continuing career as one of the world's foremost scholars in the field of Central Asian history. The range of articles that the contributors to this festschrift submitted reflects in many ways the depth and breadth of Isenbike Togan's works and her understanding of history. Indeed, from a geographical perspective, her published works cover the vast area from China to Anatolia, and from a chronological perspective they extend from the 7th to the 21st century. While the central historical question with which Isenbike Togan engages most frequently is the nature of political culture, her books and articles address a wide range of issues and questions, including women's history, the dhikr ceremonies of the Naqshbandi order in Eastern Turkestan, legitimacy and state formation in Central Asia, tribal politics from the perspective of anthropological history, and Chinese historiography. Through her command of a wide range of languages, historical issues, and textual sources, she not only makes 'surprising' connections among these seemingly diverse historical topics, but offers systematic and new approaches in the study of the Turco-Mongol peoples. Her intellectual adventure has been shaped by her unique ability to engage with the objects of her inquiry in a truly holistic and integrative manner; her works, while thoroughly rooted in painstaking and careful textual and linguistics analysis, consistently address and illuminate the 'big picture' in history.

New New Turkish Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Large roy. 8vo. (25 x 18 cm). Text in Turkish with an English preface and it includes first sentences of books in Ottoman script. 2 volumes set: ([Lxxxix], 396 p., 16 color plts.; 397-912 pp., 8 color plates.).
