Melâhim) as a term used to mean the great and bloody war that resulted in many casualties; the prophecies based on a prophecy on the future and destiny of the world, the universe, religions, states and societies, the astrologers making predictions based on astrology, and the saints based on discovery and inspiration; It means expressing big, important, terrible, horrible events or their symptoms that will take place in the future as well. In addition, melhâmes are weather forecasts based on meteorological observations. Daniel is said to be the originator of these works. Melhâmes are widespread in the Middle East, particularly in Mesopotamia. The most famous of melhâmes in Turkish is Yazici Salih's "Melhâme-i Semsiyye". This mathnawi [i.e. in prose], which is one of Cevri's well-known works, was composed of the rewriting of Semsiyye, written by Yazici Salih in 811 (1408), in 1044 (1635). This melhâme of Cevrî is smaller than the original (which is 4788 couplets) with its 3617 couplets, which include very interesting astrological and astronomical prophecies in prose.

It has a decorative and ornamental head (serlevhâ) with traditional flowers including the calligraphic title "Melhâme-i Cevrî, aleyhi rahmet ül-Bârî", and it starts with Basmala. During the book, the text is separated into two blocks except for subheadings. Some pages have marginal texts and words originally.

[RARE OTTOMAN EDITION of COSMOGRAPHY by GILLEMIN & BRIEUX] Kozmografya yahud ilm-i ahvâl-i sema. Prep. and translated by Hasan Bedreddin. Amédée Guillemin was a French science writer and a journalist. Guillemin started his studies at Beaune college before taking his final degree in Paris. From 1850 to 1860 he taught mathematics in a private school while writing articles for the Liberal press criticizing the Second French Empire. In 1860, he moved to Chambéry where he became a junior deputy editor of the weekly political magazine La Savoie. After the annexation of Savoy by the French empire, he returned to Paris where he became the science editor of l'Avenir national (The Nation's Future). Guillemin presently started writing books of physics and astronomy which became very popular. He wrote "The Sky" which was translated into many languages. His major work, "The Physical World", consisted of five large volumes. His publisher, Hachette, encouraged him to write a series of booklets about astronomy and physics under the title "Small popular encyclopaedia", a scientifically sound but accessible collection about sciences and their applications. French astronomer Jacques Crovisier from the Observatoire de Paris suggests he may have been a source of inspiration for Jules Verne's 1865 novel, From the Earth to the Moon. Charles Auguste Briot was a French mathematician who worked on elliptic functions. The Académie des Sciences awarded him the Poncelet Prize in 1882. This is the rare translation of "Ele?ments de cosmographie" by Guillemin & Briot in the Turkish / Ottoman world. Second Edition. Özege 11206.; TBTK 11733.; Only two copies in OCLC: 949501098.

This book generally describes the types of "Ilm-i nücum", using the letter symbolism of worshiping the stars, making sense of the positions and movements of the stars, and looking at fortune-telling with the zodiac. In addition, the book, which uses the mawâlid (prophecy by looking at the position of the star in the zodiacal zone during human birth) and ihtiyârât (deciding by choosing the times that are considered auspicious and ominous), mentions a system based on seven planets, twelve lunar months and twelve signs. For those who want to learn about the future from the stars, the book tells that each of the seven days of the week is under the influence of a star according to classical teaching and counts these stars: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
