Exceedingly rare Ottoman Turkish textbook on mathematical analysis and geometry for an engineer's college, probably in connection with training of railway engineers for the newly-founded Anatolian Railway (Osmanli Anadolu Demiryollari, Chemins de Fer Ottomans d'Anatolie). This title of this book, treating differential calculus, indicates that this is volume one, but the work could not be traced bibliographically, and it is unclear whether any further volumes appeared.

Spine rubbed, extremeties bumped, but interior well preserved throughout.

Provenance: 20th century Parisian private collection, kept in the family for several generations and dispersed in 2022.
