Show moreFor nearly a century members of the Dildilian family practiced the art of photography in Ottoman Turkey, Greece and the United States. This book contains over 200 photographs, primarily from the Ottoman era, beginning with the creation of the family business by Tsolag Dildilian in Sivas in central Turkey in 1882 and concluding in 1922 in Samsun, when the family was forced into exile in Greece. The photographs and the stories that unfold around them capture a defining period in the nearly three thousand year history of the Armenians in Anatolia and the Armenian Highlands. The early-twentieth century witnessed the violent erasure of the Armenians from their historic homeland, with catastrophic effects for the Dildilian family and their community. Yet this was also a period of unprecedented educational, cultural and commercial development for the Armenians. The Dildilian family was intimately involved in the triumphs and tragedies of these years and this book, through its rich pictorial history, sheds unprecedented light on the real-life experiences of Armenians in the devastating years of the Armenian Genocide and beyond. It is an unusual and original contribution to the social history of the Near East. Armen T. Marsoobian.

Liber de nativitatibus & interrogationibus. [colophon:] Venice, J. B. Sessa, March 26, 1503. Small 4to, 1 (b.) + 63p + 1 + 1 l(b.), with a fine, large allegorical woodcut, and Sessa's cat and mouse device on title, one woodcut diagram, and several tables; old Russian library stamp of the Imperial Library on title and two further leaves; 19th century green glazed paper boards, joints starting. The very rare first edition of the major independents works of Umar al-Tabari, on genethlialogy and astrological interrogations, and the only works of his to be translated into Latin and published in the West. They were "repeatedly quoted by Arabic and Latin writers, and esteemed second only to the work of Mashallah and Albumasar. One point of value was probably the presentation of the doctrines of Dorotheus [of Sidon]" (Carmody). The Arabic version of Dorotheus was due to Omar Tiberiadis. The allegorical woodcut shows Jupiter enthroned presiding over Satrun and Mars, surrounded by clouds, the signs of the zodaic interspersed in the design, the sun and the moon in the top corners.
