Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Original wrappers. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Modern Greek. 244 p. Some stains on margins, spine slightly loosened, with minor marginal chippings on the pages. An untrimmed and unopened copy, in good condition. First and only Greek edition of this rare medical book, printed in Paris, on physiology by Mavrogenis. He was one of the most influential professors of medicine at the Constantinople Medical School, where he taught internal medicine. In this book, Mavrogenis clearly presents the state of the art in physiology at the time, distinguishes between physiology and psychology in terms of their methodologies, and offers an accurate description of the contemporary views on the "Brain-Mind Problem" (George Anogianakis, Reflections of Western Thinking on Nineteenth Century Ottoman Thought: A Critique of the 'Hard-Problem' by Spyridon Mavrogenis, a Nineteenth Century Physiologist). Spyridon Mavrogenis, a prominent Phanariot Greek doctor, played a key role in the medical field of the Ottoman Empire during the 19th century. He served as the personal physician to Sultan Abdul Hamid II. His lineage traced back to the Mavrogenis family, who were of Venetian heritage. Mavrogenis's father passed away when he was young, prompting him to live with his uncle, Ioannis Mavrogenis, in Vienna, where his uncle served as the chargé d'affaires for the Ottoman mission. Mavrogenis initially studied at the Chalcis Commercial School and later attended medical studies in Vienna from 1835 to 1843. After completing his studies, he worked as an auxiliary doctor in a city-owned hospital in Vienna. Returning to Constantinople in 1845, Mavrogenis served as a doctor at the Artillery Hospital and, in 1848, became a professor at the Imperial Medical School. He initially taught hygiene and later pathology, advocating for the use of French as the medium of instruction. In addition to his professional achievements, Mavrogenis was involved in the cultural sphere, hosting meetings of the Greek Literary Society at his home starting in 1861. OCLC locates only two copies (261976425) at Stanford University Lane Medical Library and Utrecht University Library, both with 317 pages. However, our presented copy has 244 pages, with "Telos" [i.e., Finish], and is complete without missing pages.

Farbholzstich von Méaulle, um 1870, 31,5x27 cm (rückseitig ebenfalls bedruckt).

A set of nine volumes, 8vo and 4to. A rare survival: an ensemble of books, mainly medical, formerly in the library of Sultan Abdul Hamid II of the Ottoman Empire, whose famous collection was dispersed following his deposition in 1909. - Of the nine volumes in the present collection, more than half a devoted to medicine. They include a rare account of Turkish military and civil hospitals by the French physician Paul Aubry (1887), constituting an exceptional documentation of health care infrastructure in the Ottoman world. Further, there is a detailed account of the outbreak of the plague in the Levant by the Swedish polymath Jacques Graberg (1841), also describing the situation in Tangier in 1818 and 1819, which the author had witnessed himself. Finally, the collection comprises three rare volumes from the Ottoman Turkish translation of Adolf von Strümpell's medical textbook on internal diseases (1888-91), here focusing on diseases of the heart and the arteries, diseases of the brain, and diseases of the kidneys and bladder. - Additional volumes discuss the political and religious history of Japan, or the Greek Ten Thousand and their march to the Battle of Cunaxa and back in 401 BC. Other titles are more immediately connected with Turkey, giving a capsule history of the Ottoman Empire in French and Turkish verse, or and extremely rare political analysis of the Turkey's position in the critical months preceding the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877/78. - The volumes bear the requisite traces of the Sultan's library marks. All are presentation volumes inscribed to the Sultan by the author (some even inscribed in Turkish and Arabic), or are bound in special presentation bindings, or the in Sultan's personal library bindings with his tughra on the covers. - Sultan Abdul Hamid (Abdülhamid) II (1842-1918) was the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire to exert effective contol over the fracturing state and also remembered as a poet, translator and one of the dynasty's greatest bibliophiles. While his passion for books is memorialized by the many precious donations he gave to libraries all over the world and which mostly have remained intact to this day (including the 400-volume "Abdul-Hamid II Collection of Books and Serials" gifted to the Library of Congress), his own library was dispersed in the years following his deposition: books were removed to other palaces and even sold to Western collectors; the greatest part of his collection is today preserved in the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin. - Detailed catalogue available upon request.

Large folio (560 x 800 mm). 1 p. Probably the Sultan's exequatur for the Italian consul in Galati (now Romania), Stefano Castelli. Since 1856 the port of Galati on the Danube River gained importance as the seat of the European Commission of the Danube that was established in the Paris Treaty after the Crimean War. Representatives of the seven signatory states (Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia, Sardinia, and the Ottoman Empire) were entrusted with regulating navigation along the maritime Danube. From 1859 to 1878 the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, today's Romania and Moldovia, although de facto independent were formally a vessel of the Ottoman Empire. Thus the Sublime Porte issued the exequaturs for diplomatic envoys to the United Principalities such as the consuls in Galati. - Together with a contemporary paper sleeve with a handwritten specification of the document in Italian: "Firmano di riconoscimento o berat d'exequatur di Stefano Castelli come Console d'Italia a Gallatz rilasciato da Sultan Abdul Hamid". "Firman" is a term for a royal decree in the Ottoman Empire, "berat" is another Ottoman legal term for a patent.

Hds. Titelei (Sultan Hamid) a. Rückseite, leicht stockfleckig. - Als Abdülhamid II., wurde er, (1842 - 1918), 1876 Sultan des Osmanischen Reiches (bis 1909). Abdülhamid begleitete 1867 seinen Onkel, den Sultan Abdülaziz, bei seiner Reise nach Österreich, England und Frankreich. Man hielt ihn für einen Anhänger liberaler Prinzipien und die konservativeren unter seinen Untertanen betrachteten ihn noch Jahre nach seiner Thronbesteigung mit Argwohn. (Zitat).
