Mass Market Paperback. Khalil Gibran (1883 – 1931) was a Lebanese artist, poet, and writer. Born in the town of Bsharri in the north of modern-day Lebanon (then part of Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire), as a young man he immigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in both English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero. He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again especially in the 1960s. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi. Gibran was born into a Maronite Christian family and raised in Maronite schools. He was influenced not only by his own religion but also by Islam, and especially by the mysticism of the Sufis. His knowledge of Lebanon's bloody history, with its destructive factional struggles, strengthened his belief in the fundamental unity of religions, which his parents exemplified by welcoming people of various religions in their home. The poetry of Gibran often uses formal language and spiritual terms; as one of his poems reveals: "But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls." Many of Gibran's writings deal with Christianity, especially on the topic of spiritual love. But his mysticism is a convergence of several different influences: Christianity, Islam, Sufism, Judaism and theosophy. He wrote: "You are my brother and I love you. I love you when you prostrate yourself in your mosque, and kneel in your church and pray in your synagogue. You and I are sons of one faith—the Spirit." I love this collection. It's deeply moving and inspiring. Gibran's essays are the kind that will resonate with you, long after you've closed the book., New American Library: Signet , 1965., 0, Istanbul: Troya Yayincilik, 1995. Soft cover.

From the introduction by Hanns Swarzenski: "The present catalogue gives an idea of the far-reaching and elastic scope of the collection which in its choice often trespasses boundaries of definition, and which is not handicapped by one-sided aesthetic prejudice and fashion. It is a collection which contains not only a noble example of the Ottoman Renaissance (no. 5) and Byzantine art (no. 6) and superb specimens of French and Flemish Gothic style — for instance, in works by the Rohan Master (no. 64) and the almost Bosch-like visions in manuscripts of Guy de Thurno and the Chevalier Tondal (nos. 88, 89) — but also distinguished works of the Italian and Spanish Renaissance. Then, too, there are examples, assembled with no less loving care and knowledge, which are highly interesting for the history of calligraphy as well as for geographical, astronomical, and military sciences and for other subjects popular in the Northern Renaissance, or in the Baroque and Rococo periods. For instance, a book with four hundred and one drawings of Strada's Emblems made in Prague in 1599 (no. 163); a book with perspective and geometrical studies in water-color done by Pfinzing von Henfenfeld of Nürnberg, in the later sixteenth century, which foreshadow the magic realism and the haunting perspectives of Delauney and Schlemmer (no. 162); two volumes with drawings of artillery weapons, invented by Hoyer (no. 156); architectural sketchbooks by du Cerceau and Oppenord (nos. 132, 154); an especially charming album with water-colors of the Salzburg salt mines (no. 158); a manuscript for the edition of Ripa translated by Johann Georg Hertel of Augsburg (no. 164), with particularly fine drawings by Gottfried Eichler (1758-60); a Portuguese manuscript with allegorical drawings commemorating the Battle of Montes Claros, 1665, which in spirit remind us of the fantasies of Callot and Goya (no. 149).

Commonly translated as "The Self-Taught Philosopher" or "The Improvement of Human Reason," Ibn-Tufayl's story Hayy Ibn-Yaqzan inspired debates about autodidacticism in a range of historical fields from classical Islamic philosophy through Renaissance humanism and the European Enlightenment. Avner Ben-Zaken's account of how the text traveled demonstrates the intricate ways in which autodidacticism was contested in and adapted to diverse cultural settings. In tracing the circulation of the Hayy Ibn-Yaqzan, Ben-Zaken highlights its key place in four far-removed historical moments. He explains how autodidacticism intertwined with struggles over mysticism in twelfth-century Marrakesh, controversies about pedagogy in fourteenth-century Barcelona, quarrels concerning astrology in Renaissance Florence, and debates pertaining to experimentalism in seventeenth-century Oxford. In each site and period, Ben-Zaken recaptures the cultural context that stirred scholars to relate to ?ayy Ibn-Yaq?an and demonstrates how the text moved among cultures, leaving in its wake translations, interpretations, and controversies as various as the societies themselves. Pleas for autodidacticism, Ben-Zaken shows, not only echoed within close philosophical discussions; they surfaced in struggles for control between individuals and establishments. Presented as self-contained histories, these four moments together form a historical collage of autodidacticism across cultures from the late Medieval era to early modern times. The first book-length intellectual history of autodidacticism, this novel, thought-provoking work will interest a wide range of historians, including scholars of the history of science, philosophy, literature, Europe, and the Middle East., Ithaki Yayinlari, 2017, 6, New York, NY Ballantine Books, 1965.

Two pin holes on cover. Synopsis: Turkish novelist Pamuk (Snow) presents a breathtaking portrait of a city, an elegy for a dead civilization and a meditation on life's complicated intimacies. The author, born in 1952 into a rapidly fading bourgeois family in Istanbul, spins a masterful tale, moving from his fractured extended family, all living in a communal apartment building, out into the city and encompassing the entire Ottoman Empire. Pamuk sees the slow collapse of the once powerful empire hanging like a pall over the city and its citizens. Central to many Istanbul residents' character is the concept of hüzün (melancholy). Istanbul's hüzün, Pamuk writes, "is a way of looking at life that. is ultimately as life affirming as it is negating." His world apparently in permanent decline, Pamuk revels in the darkness and decay manifest around him. He minutely describes horrific accidents on the Bosphorus Strait and his own recurring fantasies of murder and mayhem. Throughout, Pamuk details the breakdown of his family: elders die, his parents fight and grow apart, and he must find his way in the world. This is a powerful, sometimes disturbing literary journey through the soul of a great city told by one of its great writers. 206 photos., Vintage International/Published by Vintage Books/A Division of Random House, Inc., 2006, 7, Konya: Ülkü Basimevi, 1955. 1st Edition .

This study is the first book-length scholarly study of the pervasiveness and significance of Roxolana in the European imagination. Roxolana, or 'Hurrem Sultan', was a sixteenth-century Ukrainian woman who made an unprecedented career from harem slave and concubine to legal wife and advisor of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-1566). Her influence on Ottoman affairs generated legends in many a European country. The essays gathered here represent an interdisciplinary survey of her legacy; the contributors view Roxolana as a transnational figure that reflected the shifting European attitudes towards 'the Other', and they investigate her image in a wide variety of sources, ranging from early modern historical chronicles, dramas and travel writings, to twentieth-century historical novels and plays. Also included are six European source texts featuring Roxolana, here translated into modern English for the first time. Importantly, this collection examines Roxolana from both Western and Eastern European perspectives; source material is taken from England, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Turkey, Poland, and Ukraine. The volume is an important contribution to the study of early modern transnationalism, cross-cultural exchange., Koç Üniversitesi Yayinlari, 2013, 6, Ankara: Bilgeoguz Yayinlari, 2016. Soft cover.

Anadolu'da bulunan Türkçe yazilmis ilk metinlerden yeni bir kesif (Metinler - çeviri - inceleme - dizin). As a new discovery, an Arabic manuscript book is found recently which has an unlighted identity and content that is progressively being analysed in detail. Interestingly in a few texts written in Turkic of the manuscript, Turkic phrases "olga" and "bolga" are both used, indicatively both Eastern Turkic and Western Turkic features can be seen in the texts. And thus, indications of the Turkic language Seljukian which has an "hybrid" grammatical specialities are determined in the texts of the manuscript. The texts are on the illuminating point of the Turkish language history from the perspective of their lingual historical era and for the progression in the centuries of the Turkish language. Grammatical specialities of the texts are also very important for the researches on the history and sources of Turkish language and literature in terms of increasing the present accumulation of knowledge. This book comprises the first results and stage of the analyse and reconnoitre on the manuscript which is conserved as an important discovery. Following results and stages of the research in order to get advanced conclusions are planned on the manuscript. In this work, methodologically at first, general physical features and the condition of the manuscript are clarified and a philological commentary on the Turkish language era of the texts, transcription, translation, detailed grammatical index and facsimiles of the 4 Turkic texts existing in the manuscript are presented., Bilgeoguz Yayinlari, 2016, 6, London England: Cambridge University Press, 1970. Hardback. First Edition. Russian Embassies to the Georgian Kings. 1589-1605. Volume 1. Ex-library with ex-library markings. The word Russian to the title page is underlined with pen. Price clipped to D/J. Only Volume I. Texts translated by Anthony Mango. By the early sixteenth century the loosely knit kingdom of Georgia had disintegrated from the strong monarchy of the middle ages to a number of small states and principalities. This internal disunity made the Georgians easy victims of the power politics of the enighbouring Ottoman and Safavid empires, and by the end of the century the southward drive of the Russians intensified the struggle for military and diplomatic control over the whole of the Caucasian isthmus. As a result of this struggle seventeen embassies were exchanged between the Russian tsars and the Georgian kings ruling in Kakheti during the years 1564-1605. Mr. Allen and Mr. Mango (who undertook the translation) have selected the documents relating to the embassies of 1589-1604. Although the writers seem to be frequently pre-occupied with questions of protocol, their observations give a clear picture both of current Russian administrative and diplomatic practice and of the life and customs of the people of the Caucasus and Georgia.

This area was known in Europe as the Barbary Coast, a term derived from the name of its Berber inhabitants. Acting as officers of the sprawling Ottoman Empire, these pirates plundered the trading routes of the Mediterranean and sowed horror in the hearts of Christians everywhere. The most famous and powerful were the Barbarossa brothers, sons of a renegade Christian. The true founders of the Algiers Regency, they initially preyed on fishing vessels or defenceless merchantmen before growing bolder and embarking upon more brazen expeditions attacking fortified ports and cities; raiding and kidnapping inhabitants of the African coast; and hunting ships from the Christian nations. This translation of Jacques Heers work follows the extraordinary exploits of the brothers, and those of other corsairs and profiteers, set against the turbulent backdrop of trade, commerce and conflict throughout the Mediterranean during the 14th-16th centuries. It is an enthralling adventure, robustly written, and it brings to life an age when travel and trade were perilous enterprises., Frontline Books, 2017, 6, Istanbul: Türk Dünyasi Arastirmalari Vakfi, 2000.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: The Ottoman Empire was one of the most significant forces in world history and yet little attention is paid to its rich cultural life. For the people of the Ottoman Empire, lyrical poetry was the most prized literary activity. People from all walks of life aspired to be poets. Ottoman poetry was highly complex and sophisticated and was used to express all manner of things, from feelings of love to a plea for employment. This collection offers free verse translations of 75 lyric poems from the mid-fourteenth to the early twentieth centuries, along with the Ottoman Turkish texts and, new to this expanded edition, photographs of printed, lithographed, and hand-written Ottoman script versions of several of the texts a bonus for those studying Ottoman Turkish. Biographies of the poets and background information on Ottoman history and literature complete the volume.(Publisher)., University of Washington Press, 2006, 3, Konya: Çizgi Kitabevi Yayinlari, 2019.

Haci Ahmet was a purported Muslim cartographer linked to a 16th-century map of the world. Ahmet appended a commentary to the map, outlining his own life and an explanation for the creation of the map. But it is not clear whether Ahmet created the map, or whether he simply translated it into Turkish for use in the Ottoman world. Haci Ahmet appended a lengthy commentary to a 16th-century map of the world annotated in the Turkish language, known as The Ottoman Mappa Mundi of Haci Ahmet, amongst other titles, which opens with "Whoever wishes to know the true shape of the world, their minds shall be filled with light and their breast with joy.". The map is heart shaped, otherwise known as a "cordiform projection," a style that was popular in sixteenth century Europe, and the extant copy was printed from wooden blocks in Venice, Italy, in 1559. It was kept until the late 18th century in the archives of the Venetian Council of Ten. The map is now part of the Heritage Library in the Qatar National Library. Known as the "Mappamondo Haci Ahmet", the map outlines legends and place-names in Turkish, and it may be the first map in Turkish ever published for sale to an Ottoman audience. Whether the map is original, or was simply a translation into Turkish, it helps show how the people of the Ottoman Empire perceived themselves in relation to the wider world. Three small spheres appear below the main map at the bottom of the page - the central graphic represents Earth and a number of satellite planets, while the left and right depict constellations. Within the accompanying text of the map, Haci Ahmet explains that the map was created to share knowledge of the shape of the world, especially of the New World. Specifically, Ahmet points out that the classical philosophers, such as Plato and Socrates, did not know about the newly discovered continent, which he says shows that the world is round. He says that the New World demonstrates the "extent to which the Ottomans were participants in their own right in the process of physical expansion abroad and intellectual ferment at home that characterized the period of history commonly referred to as the Age of Exploration". Ahmet also assigns the Ottoman Empire's rulers and kingdoms to the celestial bodies represented in the lower quadrant of the map, a maneuver which has been interpreted as an effort to impose a hierarchical geopolitical system that preferences Ottoman rule above all other world powers. The map is considered unlikely to be original, and was probably translated into Turkish by Ahmet. The map has specific European characteristics, in that it includes the use of Western terms, suggesting Ahmet translated an older map into Turkish. In fact, throughout the map's accompanying text, Ahmet emphasizes translation, stating that he "translated it from the language and alphabet of the Europeans into that of the Muslims". A further argument made against Ahmet's authorship is that the "heart-shaped form of the map had already been used by earlier European cartographers". The map is "heart-shaped" and is constructed by a cordioform projection developed by 16th century cartographers and mathematicians including Johannes Werner (1468-1522), a German mathematician and geographer. The map has been tentatively linked to several other geographers, including Giovanni Battista Ramusio (1485-1557). It has also been argued that it shares similarities with a map by the French cartographer Orontius (1494-1555), published in 1534. Ahmet claimed the map was made for Ottoman princes, and some of the sons of Suleyman the Magnificent were interested in maps of the world and had looked to Venice for their production. This resulted in the development of Ottoman-Venetian relations, which offered "new interpretations of Venetian attitudes to the production of world maps for Ottoman clients".The map's printing in Venice hel, Çizgi Kitabevi Yayinlari, 2019, 6<

From dust jacket: No scientific breakthrough really happens by chance. A theory of relativity demands more than an Einstein, says Lewis Feuer. It takes a certain intellectual cimate, a decisive tension within the very fabric of society, to spur one mans potential genius into world-shaking achievement. It is Dr. Feuers provocative thesis that intergenerational conflict plays a key role in scientific creativity. And in Einstein and the Generations of Science, he vividly recreates the unique social, political, and philosophical milieux in which the extraordinary promise of Einstein -- and scientific contemporaries -- took root and flourished into greatness. In this absorbing intellectual history, we come to know Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, de Broglie, and many others not as formidable theoreticians, but as men of high imaginative powers -- influenced by and influencing the social worlds in which they lived. Dr. Feuer portrays them locked in generational conflict with tradition-bound fathers and a rigid scientific establishment. They emerge as men endowed with rare talents, strong emotions, and very personal ideasabout the nature of social and physical reality. Entering the exhilarating world of Zurich at the turn of the century, we meet the young Einstein engaged in debate with comrades of the anti-establishment Olympia Academ -- among them the son of a socialist leader (who would later assassinate the Austrian prime minister), a down-at-the-heels Rumanian, and an Italian engineer (to whom Einstein first expounds his theory of relativity). We encounter Niels Bohr among sons of the Danish elite; Werner Heisenberg as a member of the nationalistic, anti-Semitic German Youth Movement; Louis Victor, Prince de Broglie, allied to the young Bergsonians of the Third French Republic. Each of these restless, brilliant young men were fired by the works of great philosophers -- Mach, Kierkegaard, Plato, Bergson -- and Dr. Feuer shows precisely how they turned the most profound ideas of these thinkers into fuel for scientific advancement.., Basic Books, Inc., (1974)., 1974, 0, original Heft, nicht paginiert, ca. 12 Seiten, einige Illustrationen, beiliegende Besetzungsliste vom 8.

"It was the emblematic crime of our moment: On a cold November day in Amsterdam, an angry young Muslim man, Mohammed Bouyeri, the son of Moroccan immigrants, shot and killed the celebrated and controversial Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, great-grandnephew of Vincent and iconic European provocateur, for making a movie with the Dutch politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali that 'insulted the prophet Mohammed'. After Bouyeri shot Van Gogh, he calmly stood over the body and cut his throat with a curved machete, as if performing a ritual sacrifice, which in a very real sense he was. The murder horrified quiet, complacent, prosperous Holland, a country that prides itself on being a bastion of tolerance, and sent shock waves across Europe and around the world. Shortly thereafter, Ian Buruma returned to the country of his childhood to investigate the event and its larger meaning. The result is his masterpiece: a book with the intimacy and narrative brilliance for which Buruma is renowned. (His) entire life's work has led him to this story - the tale of what happens when political Islam collides with the secular West, and tolerance finds its limits."
