Description

Istanbul: Agop Boyaciyan 1892.

A rare pamphlet in the Bulgarian language, printed in Istanbul, contains a short moralistic story about a modern married couple who lost love and passion for each other. The story describes how the failing marriage was restored when the husband started trusting and respecting his wife.

These Christian works were commissioned by American Protestant missionaries in Istanbul. Many of them were published by Agop Boyaciyan (1837 – 1914), an ethnic Armenian who was one of the leading commercial publishers in the Ottoman Empire. He learned printing in the United States in the 1860s while under the sponsorship of the missionaries.

No institutional examples of this pamphlet have been found on Worldcat
