Booklet - Unbound Pages. Condition: Very Good. 33 pages. This article reviews the writings of M. Michaud and other European travellers who attempted to describe the Ottoman Empire and its peoples. It argues that many such accounts are clouded by philosophical error, cultural prejudice, and a failure to apply the same intellectual rigour used in European political analysis. Drawing on Baconian principles, the reviewer critiques the misuse of analogy, the careless application of Western political terms like âdespotism,â and the tendency to project European models onto Eastern societies. The piece is both a defence of Turkey against superficial judgment and a broader warning against the epistemological pitfalls of travel writing. It calls for greater precision, humility, and historical awareness in the study of foreign cultures. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 18 x 26 cms. Category: Foreign Quarterly Review; Special Interest. Cosmo Books : 29 years on ABE, 47 years taking care of customers. A bookseller you can rely on.

Condition: Good. - Typed letter filling 1-1/4 sides of his gray 7-1/8 inch high by 5-3/8 inch wide letterhead with his address printed at the top. Signed "D. M. Dunlop". There is some light staining to the edges of the letter with an additional small, light stain to the blank section of the verso. Folded once for mailing. Good. Dunlop writes to his correspondent about a photostat of an Islamic manuscript offered for sale in Dawson's catalogue. ".I am inclined to think that this is the same work as the Kitab Tafhim fi'n-Nujum (sic, not Najum, as in the catalogue), and further, that the photostat now offered for sale may have been made in connection with this edition. I saw Tillotson, who will propose purchase of the photostat at a meeting of the Library committee this afternoon."British orientalist and scholar of Islamic and Eurasian history Douglas Morton Dunlop [1909-1987] studied at Bonn and Oxford under the historian Paul Ernst Kahle. In the 1950s and '60s, he was Professor of History at Columbia University in New York. He is best known for his influential histories, "Arab Civilization to A.D. 1500" [London: Longman, 1971] and "The History of the Jewish Khazars" [New York: Schocken Books, 1967]. Dunlop was the "most esteemed scholar of the Khazar monarchy" and had command of the many languages needed to study the Khazars--Arabic, Byzantine, Hebrew and Chinese.
