(NAVARI, Leonara.) The Sefik E. Atabey Collection.
Books, Manuscripts and Maps. The Ottoman World.
First and only edition, 1 of 750 copies. Two volumes, Folio (335 x 235mm), pp. I: [8], 372, [4 (blank)]; II: [4], 373-757, [3 (blank)]; colour-printed illustrations in the text, several full-page; original red boards, lettered and decorated in gilt, light-brown endpapers. Published by Bernard Shapero (London), 1998.
A fine copy.
A superbly produced catalogue of Sefik E. Atabey’s incredible library containing 1,370 pre-1854 books, manuscripts, and maps relating to the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East. Each item is carefully described and annotated, and the catalogue is supplemented by indices of authors, editors, artists, engravers, binders, and subscribers; selected places and subject; and the titles of anonymous publications.
The work is an important addition to the reference literature on the subject, and can be considered complementary to Navari's earlier Greece and the Levant: the Catalogue of the Henry Myron Blackmer Collection (London: 1989).
