Small folio (193 x 287 mm). Ottoman Turkish collective manuscript on polished laid paper. 220 leaves, comprising four parts. 25 lines of black and occasional red Naskhi by several hands, within red rules, but first two pages within double gilt rules and with a pretty gilt scrollwork 'unwan at the begining. Early full Western cal…fskin binding, spine and covers stamped in gilt. A compilation of four texts, in different hands, from the end of the 17th or 18th century, containing chronologies as well as astronomical concordances. The contents are, individually: - 1. The "Taqwim al-tawarikh", an annalistic chronicle from the creation of Man to the year 1648, when it was composed by the famous Turkish polymath Katib Chelebi (1609-57). This work was first printed in the original mixture of Persian and Ottoman Turkish by Müteferrika in 1733. "[T]he work originated as an excerpt of [Chelebi's previous effort,] 'Fazlakat aqwal al-ahyar', but continued up to Chelebi's own time [.] Becoming highly popular as an easy reference work, it was continued after Chelebi's death by several authors, including Hüseyin Hezarfenn" (Kafadar, Karateke, Fleischer: Historians of the Ottoman Emprire). - 2. "Nukhbat al-tawarikh wa al-akhbar" (Chronological Tables of Muslim Dynasties) by Mehmed bin Menera Edirnevi (Muhammad Efendi, d. ca. 1640). The family tree that is here developed begins with Adam and ends with Sultan 'Uthman II (ruled 1618-22). - 3. The chronological tables of Hezarfenn Husayn Efendi (d. 1691/92), enumerating the rulers of Persia, Ottoman Sultans, and Emperors of Byzantium up to the conquest of Crete in 1669. Dated 1201 AH (1786 CE) at the end. - 4. A compilation of astronomical concordances. - A few edge and corner flaws, but generally well preserved. A 20th century note in French, loosely inserted at the beginning of the manuscript, identifies the four texts individually. - Provenance: 20th century Parisian private collection, kept in the family for several generations and dispersed in 2022.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Folio. XIII, (1), 80, (4) pp. First English translation of Kâtib Çelebi's great work on the history of the Ottoman navy, "The Gift to the Great Ones on Naval Campaigns". Written in 1657, the book was the second to be printed at Ibrahim Müteferrika's famous Constantinople press (in 1729).…It emphasizes the importance of the Turkish activities in the seas and the Ottoman contribution to the navigational history, long a strangely neglected subject. Kâtib Çelebi, who is one of the outstanding names of the Ottoman world of scholarship in 17th century and one of the most prolific authors in terms of the number and types of his works during that period, was a man of knowledge, ideas and culture who was widely spoken about in the Ottoman period of the Islamic World.

Venice, Andrea Poletti, 1685. (14 [instead of 16?]), 112 pp. With engraved armorial vignette on title. Contemporary blindstamped leather over wooden boards with 2 clasps. All edges red. First Italian edition of the "Taqwim al-Tawarikh", an annalistic chronicle from the creation of Man to the year 1648, when it was composed by the famous Turkish polymath Katib Chelebi (1609-57). This is, at the same time, the first printing of any work of Katib Chelebi's in any language: the chronicle was not published in the original mixture of Persian and Ottoman Turkish until 1733, by Müteferrika. "[T]he work originated as an excerpt of [Chelebi's previous effort,] 'Fazlakat aqwal al-ahyar', but continued up to Chelebi's own time [.] Becoming highly popular as an easy reference work, it was continued after Chelebi's death by several authors, including Hüseyin Hezarfenn, Seyhi, and Ibrahim Müteferrika, who published it as the twelfth product of his press [.] Equally popular in Europe as a reference work, it was translated into Latin, Italian, and French. Today, the afterword is the main part of interest, as it contains a brief discussion of the regularities or laws of history, and an initial elaboration of his ideas of causation in history, which are later copies by Na'ima (d. 1128/1716) in his theoretical discussion" (Kafadar, Karateke, Fleischer: Historians of the Ottoman Emprire, s.v.). - Bound before this are two other rare Venetian works of the late 17th century, namely a single-volume reduction of the "Jus Canonicum" (1674) by the Bavarian Jesuit Pirhing (1606-79), and the second edition of an instructional dialogue between a Catholic and a heretic by the Venetian jeweller Moretto (first published in 1647). Some brownstaining and waterstaining; a few edge and corner flaws. Last leaves rather wrinkled, lacking lower flyleaf. - I: Babinger, GOW, 197. BN XXIII, 990. Encyclopaedia of Islam IV, 761.

Original watercolour drawing over ink. 267 x 196 mm. On thick oriental wove paper. Original ink drawing of the armillary sphere (Zâtü'l-Kürsü, "instrument on pedestal") published in 1732 in the famous universal Islamic geography "Kitab-i Cihânnümâ" of Katib Chelebi (1609-57). The present watercolour by Ahmed Al-Qirimi, who also…contributed the maps to Ibrahim Müteferrika's famous publication of Katip's atlas, probably served as the direct model for the engraved plate. Müteferrika, a Hungarian convert to Islam, completed Katip's unfinished work, which had hitherto circulated in manuscripts only. He had the maps specially drawn and cut for it, and printed it at his own press, the first printshop in Turkey. - While extremely close in design and size to the present drawing, the published plate differs from it in several respects, lacking numerous details as well as - most conspicuously - the four additional instruments which here decorate the corners; on the other hand, the print shows the pedestal placed upon an additional short plinth not seen in the sketch. - Evenly browned and with a few small edge flaws, but well preserved.
