Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Original greenish and yellowish wrappers and hardcover (1317/1901-1902 vol.). Folio. (33,5 x 23,5 cm). In Ottoman script and French. 4 volumes: (144 p.; [4], 150 p.; 12 p., 6 folded statistical tables). The third volume lacks its back cover and has a detached front cover, with some staining present; the fourth volume shows wear and tear along the edges. First and only editions of these four exceedingly rare volumes form an invaluable collection, presenting the earliest statistical tables that shed light on the diseases most commonly and least frequently encountered in early twentieth-century Ottoman Istanbul, the causes of death resulting from illness and other factors, average life expectancy, and the overall health conditions of the city's population. The registers constitute an exceptional data source, as the information is systematically disaggregated by religious affiliation (Muslim and non-Muslim), age, and gender, and further classified by neighbourhood and season. The statistical data contained in these registers documenting the causes of death in Istanbul and its surrounding districts, is based on information compiled from ten divisions of the Department of Health Affairs, as well as from major medical institutions, including the Sixth Department Hospital, Darü'l-Aceze, Haseki Nisa Hospital, Gümü?suyu Hospital, Gureba-y? Müslimîn Hospital, Toptas? Bîmârhâne, the French Hospital, the Jérémie Hospital (established by the French Lazarists), the Yedikule Armenian Hospital, the Russian Hospital, and the Italian, British, and German hospitals. According to these statistics, tuberculosis, organic heart failure, and pneumonia were among the leading causes of death in Istanbul. Infant and child mortality also occupies a prominent place in the records, largely attributable to poverty, lack of education, and inadequate hygienic conditions. Rare surviving copies from the statistical registers known to have been published between 1899 and 1907, specifically those for the years 1902 (two issues), 1903, and 1907. All these statistical bulletins are extremely rare; according to WorldCat, only three copies are recorded worldwide in institutional holdings.

To Seyh Mehmed Suleyman Pasha: a berat certificate awarding a gold medal in appreciation of his support for and contribution to the building of the Hejaz railway. The document reads, in translation: "I ordered the construction of the railway from Damascus to Mecca and Medina in order to facilitate the journey of the pilgrims who wish to attain the forgiveness of Allah. A medal of various classes was established to reward men and women who helped by providing financial aid to this railway construction or by working in construction. Seyh Mehmed Suleyman Pasha, an Algerian notable and scholar, assisted in the construction of the railway. For this reason, he was awarded the Hejaz Railway Gold Medal. In accordance with law and my imperial edict, I order the above-named person to be awarded a gold medal. Accordingly, this document has been written on 16 Rajab 1323". - Berat certificates were official documents issued by the Sultan to grant a privilege, to appoint dignitaries, or to confer the right to possession of a property belonging to the state. Many donation campaigns were launched during the construction of the Hejaz railway, and Sultan Abdülhamid II himself made a donation of 50,000 liras to encourage others. The Hejaz Railway Medal and certificate were awarded to benefactors who donated a certain amount or contributed in the building of the railway. This medal was issued in gold, silver and nickel versions: nickel was given to those who donated 5 to 50 gold coins, silver to those who donated 50 to 100 gold coins, and gold to those who donated more than 100 gold coins. - Folded with light edge flaws; minor stains.

1st Edition. First edition. Title page with large woodcut illustration showing the King on his throne surrounded by the delegates. In Bastarda type, with two floral woodcut initials. In later hard paper. Gilt title vignette on spine, damaged. [20] p. A bibliographically unrecorded, early sixteenth-century French book about royal ordinances regarding the commonwealth, along with the French translation of Sultan Selim I's letter of conquest (fethname) addressed to the Grand Master of Rhodes. The first and major part of the book presents nine concepts of orders of Francis I (1494-1547, King of France from 1515 until his death) regarding the commonwealth (chose publique). The drafts concern such topics as the commerce of spices and drugs, wool, cloth, and other goods (chapter 1-4), the weights and equivalents of coins, and the recognized foreign currencies (chapter 5), the recognized units of measures (chapter 6), the regulation of the extravagance of clothing (chapter 7), the inn trade (chapter 8), and the money that goes to Rome, for obtaining Bulls (chapter 9). The second section comprises the responses to the aforementioned concepts of the representatives of the Good Cities (Bonnes Villes), Provence and Dauphiné who had been previously assembled in Paris by the order of the King in March 1516. In most cases they requested a delay of reply, to discuss the matters with those who they were representing. The third section presents the grievances and requests delivered to the King by the delegates, regarding the provincial councils (conciles provinciaux), the prolixity of the trials, the tariffs, the public officers, the superior courts (cours souveraines), the land taxes (tailles), and the abuse and plunder by the soldiers crossing the kingdom. These sections were recorded and written down by the court clerk Jean Hesselin, Seigneur of Girodon. Hesselin mentions himself twice (p. [14] and [17]), once by name (p. [14]) within the text. The final part is the French translation of the Ottoman Sultan, Selim I's fethname (letter of conquest), sent on 27 August 1516, from Aleppo, to Fabrizio del Carretto (1455-1521), Grand Master (Magnus Magister) of the Knights Hospitaller in Rhodes, between 1513 and 1521. The fethname, accordingly to its genre, details Selim's expedition and the conquest, and emphasizes the power and grandeur of the Sultan and his army. Selim I (1470-1520) ascended the throne as the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire in 1512. He is remembered for the enormous expansion of the Empire during his reign, thus raise the Ottomans to the leaders of the Muslim world. Selim's most notable deed was the conquer of the Mamluk Sultanate, which included Levant, Hejaz, and Egypt in 1516 and 1517 at the Battles of Marj Dabiq and Ridaniya. The Battle of Marj Dabiq, near Aleppo, took place on August 24, 1516, where Selim defeated the Mamluk Sultan Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghuri. This was a decisive victory of the war between the Ottoman Empire and the Mamluk Sultanate, which ended in the conquest of much of the Middle East. Such an expansion of the Ottoman territory was a clear threat to Rhodes, which was the nearest Christian possession to the coast of Asia, halfway between Constantinople and Egypt. At the time the Grand Master in Rhodes was the Italian admiral Fabrizio del Carretto (1455-1521; Grand Master from 1513 to 1521), for a short interlude of a course of fifty-five years of Frenchmen serving as the supreme heads of the Order. Selim announced his victory and forecasted his threat to del Carretto in a fethname, (presented here in French translation), however eventually he did not have the time to conduct the campaign against Rhodes. It was his successor Suleiman I, who conquered the island in 1522, thus gained control over the eastern Mediterranean for the next centuries. By the time of the siege, the commander of the Order was again a Frenchman, Grand Master Philippe Villiers de L'Isle-Adam (1464-1534). Suleiman allowed him and the surviving knights t.
