First and only edition: a deluxe-state printing of the Persian divan of Ottoman Sultan Selim I (1470-1520), edited by the German orientalist Paul Horn by order of the German Emperor Wilhelm II for presentation to the bibliophile Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The book was produced at a time of intensifying German-Ottoman relations; only in 1903 had the Sultan presented the Kaiser with the invaluable decorated facade of the eighth-century Umayyad residential palace of Qasr Mshatta, one of the Desert Castles of Jordan (now in Berlin's Pergamon Museum). - The present volume was the personal copy of Prince Reza Khan Arfa (1846-1937), Persian ambassador to Constantinople and himself a noted poet in Persian and French, under the pen-name "Danesh". - Occasional slight scuff-marks to the fine lacquered binding, mainly confined to lower cover. Interior in excellent condition throughout. - From the private collection of the Persian poet and statesman Reza Khan Arfa Danesh (1846-1937), ambassador to the Porte. Includes a dedicatory letter ("copie conforme") from Dr. Hermann Gies (1851-1924), the German Embassy's First Interpreter, to Prince Reza, writing: "Ne pas rendre accessible à Votre Altesse ce recueil eùt été une omission impardonnable, un crime de lèse-poésie. C'est pourquoi je me suis permis de prendre l'initiative du rapport dans lequel l'Ambassade Impériale, en rappelant au Ministre des Affaires Étrangères à Berlin les services signalés que Votre Altesse, poète par la grace de Dieu, a rendus à la cause de l'humanité, sollicitait l'autorisations de Sa Majesté l'Empereur de faire hommage à Votre Altesse d'un exemplaire de ce recueil [.]" (Péra, 3 Feb. 1906, 2 pp. on a bifolium, 4to). - OCLC 40474270.…

8vo. (24) pp. Coloured paper wrappers. Rare copy of the 12-leaf variant (instead of 8 leaves) of the 1569 Capitulations between Charles IX of France and Sultan Selim II, in Domenico Oliveri's translation. Negotiated by Guillaume de Grandchamp de Grantrie, French ambassador to the Sublime Porte from 1566 to 1570, it allowed the Kingdom of France to recover ships and goods previously confiscated by the Ottoman Empire in order to recover a large debt owed by Charles IX to the Portuguese Sephardi diplomat, banker, and politician in Ottoman service Joseph Nasi (1524-79). - France had a long history of diplomatic relations with the Sublime Porte, the first Capitulations dating back to 1517, when the new Ottoman rulers of Egypt upheld a treaty between France and the Mamluk Sultanate from 1500. In 1535, Suleiman the Magnificent signed Capitulations concerning the trade of French goods in the Ottoman Empire and granting extraterritorial legal rights to the French consuls that allowed them to exercise jurisdiction over disputes arising with French merchants instead of the local Islamic Sharia courts. This was followed by the long-lasting Franco-Ottoman Alliance forged by Francis I and Suleiman the Magnificent in 1536 that was unprecedented in Europe. - With a minor stain over several pages. Well preserved. - Baudrier IV, 86. Atkinson 187. Göllner 1277. OCLC 761347596. Cf. Brunet, Anonymes, 14. Picot 2460.…

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 to leave unmolested and eventually the Hospitallers were quartered permanently on Malta in 1530. To the best of our knowledge the original fethname has not survived, and we could not trance any other printed version or edition of the French translation. We could find one surviving copy of a Spanish translation of Selim's letter, which was addressed to Pope Leo X, titled Carta de nuevas grandes buenas y ciertas embiada a nuestro s. padre Leon X de las cosas que han passado en Levante entre el gran turcho y el gran solda (Valencia, Juan Viñao, 1517?; Norton 1256, IB 11215, USTC 344377), kept at Cambridge University Library (F151.d.8.12).

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12,5 cm). In Ottoman script. 1 b/w Selim's portrait engraving, 67 p. Selim I, nicknamed Yavuz, "the Stern" or "the Steadfast", but often rendered in English as "the Grim" (October 10, 1465/1466/1470 - September 22, 1520), was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1512 to 1520. His reign is notable for the enormous expansion of the Empire, particularly his conquest between 1516-1517 of the entire Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt, which included all of Sham, Hejaz, Tihamah, and Egypt itself. With the heart of the Arab World now under their control, the Ottomans became the dominant power in the region, and in the Islamic world. Upon conquering Egypt, Selim took the title of Caliph of Islam, being the first Ottoman sultan to do so. He was also granted the title of "Khâdim ül Haramain ish Sharifain" (Servant of the Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina), by the Sharif of Mecca in 1517. Selim was also a distinguished poet who wrote both Turkish and Persian verse under the pseudonym =[mahlas] Selimi; collections of his Persian poetry are extant today. In one of his poems, he wrote as 'A carpet is large enough to accommodate two Sufis, but the world is not large enough for two kings'. Sultan Selim, who spoke Arabic and Persian very fluently, wrote Persian poems cursively under the nickname Selimî. Those poems are extant today at the Imperial Archives at The Topkapı Palace Museum. He had Turkish poems as well and his Persian Divân (T.N. poetry book) was printed in 1306 in Istanbul and was published in 1904 by Paul Horn in Berlin by the order of Wilhelm II, the German Emperor. During his eight years of ruling, he didn't have any time to rest, he slept four hours a day and spent the rest of the day writing and reading. Sultan Selim has many powerful poems with deep meaning and artistic style. Translation from Persian by Seyh Vasfi. [Mikaeloglu] Antranik Efendi, (1850-?), was a Turco-Armenian painter who worked for the Ottoman court notably regarded for his sultan portraits during the reigns of Sultan Abdülhamid II (1876-1909), Sultan Mehmed Resad (1908-1918) and Sultan Vahdeddin (1918-1922). During the administration of the last two sultans, in particular, he received a number of orders from the palace and while Abdülhamid II was on the throne in the 1890s he sketched gravures for Servet-i Fûnun (Wealth of Sciences) journal. A vast body of these gravures depicts leading names of the age -Egypt's Khedive Tevfik Pasha, Abbas Pasha, Sultan Abdülaziz, etc. and portraits illustrating the photographs of preceding sultans as well as architectural drawings such as Süleymaniye Mosque and Ayasofya-Santa Sophia. Another record testifying to the fact that Antranik Efendi received commissions during the reign of Sultan Mehmed Resad and worked for the royal family is a 1916-dated document in Dolmabahçe Palace Museum Archive.
