Description

Original wrappers. 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 80, [4] p., 4 unnumbered b/w plates. First and only edition of this very rare anti-alcohol medical tractate, penned by Milâsli Ismail Hakki, who was one of the founders of Hilâl-i Ahdar Cemiyeti [i.e. the Green Crescent]. In this work written in Ottoman Turkish, Milasli describes various alcoholic drinks, states that any and all intoxicants are haram [i.e. forbidden by religion], and discusses and examines types of alcohol by telling of the contents of the drink. He then goes on to explain the physiological effects of drinking, talks about the ways to get rid of alcoholism and the importance of abstaining from alcohol, and finally ends his book by presenting images of drunken people.
