[probably Istanbul]: Manuscript., [AH 1242], 1826. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Contemporary (early 19th century) quarter brown cloth with marbled boards, "Yahudi ebrûsu" end-papers. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 90 p., numbered with Arabic numeric system in pencil, around seven illustrated schemes of magical diagrams. Written on a probably 17th-18th century European paper with "Crescent" watermark, naskh script with "harakât", black and red ink. Early and a rare posthumous manuscript copy of this 18th-century Islamic majmua, containing the treatment methods and drug compositions against physical and spiritual diseases, with material and magical suggestions, copied 32 years after the author's death by a "Hafiz" with an addendum of new drugs and treatments compiled from older annotations of this work. "In the first part of the work on spiritual medicine, verses, prayers, talismans, and magic formulas in the Islamic culture like "wafqs" that are believed to be treated; in the second part, on physical medicine, drug formulas from various material objects for physiological diseases are shown." (Çagrici). Harputî was an 18th-century poet and prose from Harput (Kharberd). In the introduction to the manuscript, he stated that he is not a doctor, but that he writes practices that can heal patients due to his experiences. Despite this, the text was widely used in Ottoman medicine in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Istanbul: And Yayinlari, 1955. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Original pictorial wrappers. 12mo. (16 x 12 cm). In Turkish. 96 p., richly ills. Slight wears on spine and a small tear on a page. Otherwise a very good copy. First and Only Edition of this rare compilation by a Turkish female author about all dances and their choreographies. As the author states in her preface to the book, she says that she wrote this book about an incident experienced by a friend who has been a dance teacher for 25 years. This event, which the author herself witnessed, begins with a young man waiting for the dance course asking whether there is an instructive dance book in Turkish literature. When Semra Dikmen finds out that there is no such book, she decides to do this compilation. This small, but to the point and one of the earliest examples in the Turkish language, includes a short history of dances, Fox Trot, Waltz, Rumba, Swing, Mambo, Samba, and Tango.
