Dominique Bouhours 15 May 1628 - 27 May 1702 was a French Jesuit priest essayist and neo-classical critic. He was born and died in Paris. Bouhours entered the Society of Jesus at the age of sixteen and was appointed to read lectures on literature in the Collège de Clermont at Paris and on rhetoric at Tours and Rouen. He afterwards became private tutor to the two sons of Henri II d'Orléans duc de Longueville. First Amsterdam Edition. He was sent to Dunkirk to the Romanist refugees from the Commonwealth of England and in the midst of his missionary occupations published several books. In 1665 or 1666 he returned to Paris and published in 1671 Les Entretiens d'Ariste et d'Eugène which was reprinted four more times at Paris twice at Grenoble and afterwards at Lyon Brussels Amsterdam Leiden and other cities. The work consists of six conversations entretiens between two companionable friends whose Greek- and Latin-derived names both mean "well-born" in the agreeable discursive manner of the well-informed amateur as it had become established in the salons— "the free and familiar conversations that well-bred people have honnêtes gens a by-word of the précieuses of the salons when they are friends and which do not fail to be witty and even knowledgeable though one never dreams there of making wit show and study has no part in it."1 The subjects erudite but devoid of pedantry are the Sea considered as an object of contemplation the French language Secrets True Wit "Le Bel Esprit" The Ineffable "Le Je ne sais quoi" and Mottoes "Devises" all expressed in flawless idiom and effortless allusions to the Classics or Torquato Tasso. The popularity of Bouhours' discursive heuristic Entretiens extended to Poland where Stanislaw Herakliusz Lubomirski imitated them in Dialogues of Artakses and Ewander. His thoughts on the elusive je ne sais quoi that was in vogue in the seventeenth century expressed through his characters ends in assessing it a mystery that escapes a rational inquiry. It determined by its delicate presence its grace and invisible charm the sense of what pleases or displeases in Nature as well as Art and remained an essential part of the French critical vocabulary until the advent of Romanticism.2 His Doutes sur la langue française proposés aux Messieurs le l'Académie française Paris 1674; corrected second edition 1675 was called "the most important and best organized of his numerous commentaries on the literary language of his time"3 when it was edited in a critical edition. His doubts are collected under five headings: vocabulary phrases and collocations grammatical constructions clarity and stylistic consistency in each case setting literary quotations under scrutiny. His standards expressed in the suggestions he offered for improving each example showed the way out of ambiguities skirting incongruous juxtapositions and untidy constructions. The work was widely accepted and Bouhours standards are still the accepted norm among literate readers today. The chief of his other works are La Manière de bien penser sur les ouvrages d'esprit 1687 which appeared in London in 1705 under the title The Art of Criticism Vie de Saint Ignace de Loyola 1679 Vie de Saint François Xavier 16824 and a translation of the New Testament into French 1697. His letters against the Jansenists had a wide circulation. His practice of publishing secular books and works of devotion alternately led to the mot qu'il servait le monde et le ciel par semestre. Bouhours died at Paris in 1702. According to the book Mother Tongue by Bill Bryson Bouhours' dying words were "I am about to -- or I am going to -- die: either expression is used." D' Estienne Roger

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original illustrated wrappers. Folio. (33 x 24 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 32 p., richly ills. First published in any form of this symbolist poem, is the manifest of the attempt to settle in New Zealand by falling into pessimism, written during Sultan Abdülhamid II's tyranny period between two Constitutionalist regimes in the Imperial Ottoman, by Servet-i Fünûn literary scene leading of Ottoman poet Tevfik Fikret and his friends like Mehmed Rauf, Hüseyin Kadri, Dr. Esad Pasa, Hüseyin Cahit, Süleyman Nesip, Ahmet Hikmet Müftüoglu. In the westernization period, there is an escape especially the Servet-i Fünuncus to New Zealand, Scotland, and Finland. This escape can be seen as both alienation and help-seeking. Historical point of view, sociological research and in-depth analysis personal sufferings of intellectuals who attempted to escape can provide true findings and information, which can light this period, about the dualism of these intellectuals and their attempts to escape. Tevfik Fikret is one of the pioneers who symbolize this escape. Fikret does not leave the homeland, but in much poetry, he attributes a mission of escape and rescue to places in his poem. Places, where this mission is the most intense, are streets, Asiyan, grave, mosque, Istanbul, the parliament, palace, garden, and village. The first utopian texts in Turkish literature were dreams written in an effort to save the declining Ottoman State. In the period of Servet-i Fünûn [i.e. The Wealth of Sciences], which was a time of crisis, some utopias such as the Yesil Yurt [i.e. Green Land]. Fikret decided to go to New Zealand (after Manisa city) with friends from his literary circle. After a while, he changed his mind and began to construct a special house for his family on the Bosphorus, which he called "Asiyan" (meaning close friends). Asiyan was finished in 1906. New Zealand carries all the characteristics of a utopian place in this poem by Tevfik Fikret. (Utopias from the Middle East 13).

Good Armenian Full modern leather binding. An ex-library stamp on the colophon. Small 4to. (27 x 18 cm). In Armenian. 512, [8] p., engraved plates. Richly illustrated. Stains on pages and edges. Otherwise a good copy. Extremely rare first Armenian edition of Fenelon's "Telemaque". According to Abdolonyme Ubicini's account in his La Turquie actuelle (Paris 1855), Les Aventures de Télémaque was the most popular classic among Levantines in Istanbul in the first half of the 19th century, and it was translated into many languages besides Turkish and Arabic in the Ottoman Empire. The first printed version of a Greek translation dates from the 18th century, while an Armenian version by Ambroise Calfa was published in Paris in 1860. (The Ottoman Reception of Fénelon's Télémaque.; Meral, Arzu). The translator, Ambroise Calfa Nar Bey, Guy de Lusignan, (1831-1906), was a Franco-Armenian historian and linguist from the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Ambroise Calfa is one of the three sons of Kévork (Georges) -Youssouf Calfa, an Armenian trader living in Constantinople, and Sophie Cantar (or Kantaroglou), daughter of an Armenian merchant or banker from the Ottoman capital. Member of several learned societies, including the Asian Society, Ambroise Calfa published several historical or linguistic works, including an Armenian Calligraphy (Paris, 1853), a work awarded at the Universal Exhibition of 1855, and, above all, an Armenian-French Dictionary ( Paris, Hachette, 1861) dedicated to Emperor Alexander II. (Wikipedia). Les Aventures de Télémaque, fils d'Ulysse (The adventures of Telemachus, son of Ulisses) with the original title is a didactic French novel by Fénelon, Archbishop of Cambrai, who in 1689 became tutor to the seven-year-old Duc de Bourgogne (grandson of Louis XIV and second in line to the throne). It was published anonymously in 1699 and reissued in 1717 by his family. The slender plot fills out a gap in Homer's Odyssey, recounting the educational travels of Telemachus, son of Ulysses, accompanied by his tutor, Mentor, who is revealed at the end of the story to be Minerva, goddess of wisdom, in disguise.
