Unfortunately this handsome large paper copy has suffered from water damage sometime in the past, additional photographs are available upon request. This set with the additional set of etchings on india paper by George Lewis, of a classic work of the utmost importance for its wealth of eye-witness information and anecdotes about printed books, manuscripts, buildings, other artefacts and people, both from past centuries and from the author's own day, for the extraordinary collection of illustrations, mostly drawn during the tour itself, and finally as a sumptuous piece of book production. As soon as the book appeared, leading scholars derided Dibdin for his lack of scholarship, especially concerning early manuscripts and printed books. But one must distinguish between the extensive and extremely useful information about things and people Dibdin saw during his 1818 tour, and his own interpretations and conclusions, which now serve only as a window to the attitudes of the time. Dibdin's enthusiasm, readable style and entertaining anecdotes, moreover, caught the mood of his age, making the book extremely popular and influential. Lewis' A Series of Groups... was intended to accompany Dibdin's Tour but was rejected by Dibdin as unworthy of his book. Lewis, most perturbed, issued them at his own expense and presented his case in the eight-page Advertisement which was separately printed. Jackson 48; 56; 56n: Windle & Pippin A38a; A44; D13.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original color map of Eastern Anatolia, Dogu Beyazit, Bayazid, Bargiri, Nakhchevan, Karakilise, Van, etc. 50x60 cm. In Ottoman script (Enverî). 1 p. Scale: 1:200.000. Slightly toned, several small holes on paper. Otherwise a very good copy. Enverî script is the war minister Enver Pasha's alphabet and writing amendment, which he tried to implement within the Ministry of War between 12 March 1914 and 10 August 1914. Starting from the Tanzimat (Westernization) period in the Ottoman Empire, the discussions on simplification in language, writing, alphabet and reading-writing had increased and at the end of the 19th century, military necessities also became one of the concerns. The problems such as the low rate of literacy among the recruited soldiers, the need to teach the soldiers how to read and write in a short time, and their misconceptions about the spelling of proper nouns led Enver Pasha to add the writing problem to his reform agenda, once he took office. Enver Pasha's reform is based on the principle of writing the Ottoman letters, which take different forms in the beginning, in the middle and at the end according to their unification with the other letters, separately in their original state without merging them. While this new alphabet was being created, the existing 32 letters in the Ottoman were preserved. The 8 vowels in the Turkish language, which could not be written with the old letters, was shown by placing small marks on the existing vowels and by doing so a new alphabet consisting of a total of 40 letters was created. With this alphabet, officially called 'Ordu Elifbasi', rules were adopted such as writing of the letters without merging them, writing the words as they are pronounced. At first glance, Enver Pasha's writing reform, which appeared as a definite solution to the theory of the solution of the ongoing debates on the alphabet and the spelling, formed a wide experiment field in the military. It was not possible to use Ordu Elifbasi, which essentially is a transliteration alphabet that allows transferring the sounds of these three different languages (Turkish, Arabic, Persian) to a single alphabet, in the daily life. Thanks to this new alphabet and spelling, learning to read and write were accelerated to some extent. However, it was seen that the literacy rate of the well-educated, literate people fell to the spelling and did not even progress. This alphabet and spelling reform, which Enver Pasha thought of spreading to the whole country, caused much more problems as it was experienced in the army. Although it was postponed until the end of the mobilization period following the declaration of the mobilization, Ordu Elifbasi, which remained in force for 152 days, eventually failed to be realized. (Source: Karakus: Enver Pasha's Alphabet And Spelling Attempt: Ordu Elifbasi (Army Alphabet)).In this extremely rare document, there are some articles and thoughts on a case. This is one the serie of the Bonn projection maps which are the first map series in modern techniques in Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. In order to produce these maps covering Turkish territory, Reconnaissance Branch was incorporated into The Mapping Commission. The maps were produced in the datum based on the latitude and longitude of Ayasofya Mosque in equal area Bonn Projection. The field works for the 123 sheets covering the country were conducted by 76 staff. The production was completed in 18 years starting from east west. Field works continued without stopping except in years 1914 and 1920. This map series called also reconnaissance maps contributed a lot to producing 1:25.000 scale maps. Extremely rare.

In-4°: pp. XIII,(3), 510. 1 cart. di tav. con ritratto dell’autore, marca tipografica al fronte spizio. Brossura editoriale.
In-4°; cc. (6). Per lo stampatore e la data ci sembra più corretto pensare che questa edizione preceda quella di Froben, Basilea, 1515, e che quindi sia da attribuire al tipografo Beplin nel 1513 (STC p. 208 Beplin, Roma 1513?; vedi anche British Library, 1513), piuttosto che seguire la lezione di F. Barberi, Tipografi romani del Cinquecento, Firenze, 1983, p. 53 (e ICCU) in cui questa edizione si attribuisce allo stampatore Etienne Guillery con la data 1518. Ristampato da Froben assieme agli epigrammi di Erasmo, questa elegia appassionata ed elogiativa della Guerra contro i Turchi è estremamente rara. Due sole copie in ICCU alla Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, e alla Biblioteca Trivuziana di Milano. Una alla British Library; non in OCLC. Alcuni epigrammi di letterati del circolo romano di Agostino Chigi accompagnano i versi; gli autori: Janus Parrhasius, Janus Vitalis, Monachus Severus, Decius Syllanus, Basilius Chalcondylas, Constantinus Achazas, Delius Hieronymus, Factius Polydorus, Pietro Foderè, Phoebus Ptolomaeus, Paulus Soranus. La materia dell’opera di Giano Damiani, letterato senese, fa riferimento alla questione che Leone X de’ Medici (1513-1521) si trovò a gestire quando i Turchi si presentarono alle porte dell’Oriente e del Mediterraneo. L’elegia è anche un inno alla pace, che non dimentica di citare le nazioni che sostennero lo Stato pontificio, tra cui gli spagnoli, i francesi, gli inglesi. Beplin, Johann, attivo a Roma dal 1506 a circa il 1515; tipografo di Strasburgo attivo a Roma. Secondo il Dizionario dei tipografi lavorò molto per Giacomo Mazzocchi, cui sarebbero appartenute le cornici usate per i frontespizi. I caratteri da lui adoperati erano gli stessi di Besicken e di Mazzocchi. Apud Sanctum Eustachium. Since the printer and date, it looks like this edition was printed before the Basel’s one (Froben, 1515) and it would be related to Beplin in 1513, more than the Barberi’s opinion, that attaches this edition to Guillery (and date 1518). Reprinted by Froben along with Erasmus’ epigrams, this passionate elegy of war against the turks is extremely rare. Some epigrams by scholars from the Roman Cirle of Agostino Chigi side the poems: Janus Parrhasius, Janus Vitalis, Monachus Severus, Decius Syllanus, Basilius Chalcondylas, Constantinus Achazas, Delius Hieronymus, Factius Polydorus, Pietro Foderè, Phoebus Ptolomaeus, Paulus Soranus. The matter of this work is the question dealed by Leone X de’ Medici when the Turks showed up to the doors of West world. It’s also an ode to peace, that quotes the nations supporting the Pope (Spain, France, England, between them). Johann Beplin operated in Rome since 1506 to 1515 ca. A typographer from Strasbourg, he worked in Rome for Giacomo Mazzocchi, the maker of frames used for title pages. The typefaces used by Beplin are the same used by Besicken and Mazzocchi.
