Davids, Arthur Lumley GRAMMAIRE TURKE: PRÉCÉDÉE D'UN DISCOURS PRÉLIMINAIRE SUR LA LANGUE ET LA LITTÉRATURE DES NATIONS ORIENTALES
Londres W.H. Allen 1836 4to. publisher's blind stamped cloth x, (6), lxxx, 214 pages, 5 lithographs, (2) with errata
First edition of the French translation done by Sarah Davids. A grammar of the Turkish language with a preliminary discourse and Ottoman Turkish excerpts with translations. In the discourse, Davids (1811-1832) argues that the Turks are a separate, honorable, and intelligent race with a beautiful and complex language. Davids' writings were translated into Turkish in 1851, and the historian Bernard Lewis writes that this book, "made the Turks imagine themselves as having a distinct nationality and independence." Also contains five lithographs illustrating excerpts from ancient and modern Turkish texts by the early English lithographer Joseph Netherclift. (see Twyman, Early Lithographed Bookspages 236-239). Netherclift had been producing lithographic work in London since around 1820, and as Twyman states became "the leading producer of lithographed facsimiles in Britain," until he was succeeded by his son in 1855. Multiple tables with French, phonetic Turkish pronunciation, and Turkish script. Wear to head and tail of spine with some small holes to rear hinge. Minor discoloration to boards.

Schwoebel, Robert THE SHADOW OF THE CRESCENT: THE RENAISSANCE IMAGE OF THE TURK.
Nieuwkoop HES & DE GRAAF 1967 8vo cloth. xiv, 257 pages.
Can we learn from history? A timely problem in the light of the recent dramatic developments in the Middle East and the immanent threat of international terrorism. The from time to time uneasy relations between the Christian West and the Islam originate in the seventh and eighth centuries and took shape in the Renaissance when for the first time in history knowledge of the Turks, a synonym of Muslims, was growing fast on the basis of first-hand experience, whether as agents of a western power, or as captives of the Turks. Apart from the unhappy but apparently universal tendency to represent ones enemy as the personification of evil, the fifteenth and early sixteenth western characterizations of the Ottomans as the sworn foe of Christianity are still pervading our concepts and terms, and are still formative for our own views. HES & DE GRAAF Publishers re-issues 'The Shadow of the Crescent,' because the book is concerned with the image of the Turk in the West after the fall of Constantinople till the beginnings of the Reformation and deals with the western attitude toward the Ottomans and the growing importance of the Islam. Certainly the problems were, and still are immense, not exactly the same, but undoubtedly comparable. At least we can learn from this book that there is nothing new under the sun."This book is primarily a survey of European responses, political as well as literary, to the Turkish advance into Europe between the fall of Constantinople and the beginning of the Protestant Reformation" (in: The American Historical Review, vol 74, nr 2 (Dec. 1968)).
