COMPLETE TITLE: [THE FIRST VETERINARY JOURNAL OF THE TURKISH REPUBLIC] عسگری طب بیطری مجموعسی / Askerî tib baytârî mecmuasi: Müdafaa-i Milliye Vekâleti Umûr-i Baytariye Dairesi tarafindan ayda bir nesrolunur. The last 12 issues (of 108). December 1928 - November 1928. Nos: 1-12. (The last 12 issues).

The last 12 issues in fine condition, housed in a contemporary cloth binding with a gilt title to the spine in French (Recueil de Médecine Vétérinaire Militaire). Royal 8vo (23 x 15.5 cm). Text in Ottoman Turkish (Arabic script). 384 pages, with black-and-white reproduced woodcuts.

An exceedingly rare complete set of the sixth and final year of this pioneering Turkish military veterinary journal, comprising all 12 issues. This illustrated publication holds dual historical significance as the first veterinary periodical of the Turkish Republic. Notably, it transitioned scripts during its final year: initially published in Arabic letters (Ottoman Turkish), it adopted Latin script following the 1928 Alphabet Reform, subsequently continuing as Askeri Veteriner Dergisi (Military Veterinary Journal).
