The scarce first Turkish translation of the Anabasis of Alexander in Ottoman literature, one of the earliest and most authoritative texts of the reign of Alexander the Great.

Arrian of Nicomedia was responsible for several of the earliest texts to exist recording the reign of Alexander the Great. The Anabasis recounts the military conquests of Alexander, in particular those over the Persian Empire between 336 and 323 BCE. It remains the fullest account of the period, aided by its focus as a military history rather than a biography of Alexander or a broad history of Greece.

First Turkish edition; 8vo (24.5 x 18.5 cm); Ottoman Turkish script, contemporary full calf with blind shamsas to boards, manuscript title label pasted to front board, some historic spine restoration, removed stamp to title, a very good copy; [8], 263 pp.
