Prince Ahmed BEY de SOLYMAN. Autograph letter signed to "Monseigneur". Paris, February 29, 1816 One sheet, 288x206 mm. French text on one page, crisp cursive handwriting, black ink. At end, date 'Paris le 29 fevrier 1816' and signature in French 'Le Prince Ahmed Bey de Soliman'. On left side Arabic signature in elaborate diwani style. Slight even browning, good copy. Egyptian Prince writes to 'Monsieur' and asks him for help to improve his economic condition in exile in France. "Monsieur ... Je vous prie de juger vous meme combien il est douleureux pour une personne qui tenoit un Rang si distingué d'avoir cette seule resource pour suffire a ses besoins." Prince Ahmed Bey, Governor of Solyman in Upper Egypt, did not surrender to Napoleon and allied with other Beys by making an agreement with the Turks who promised to return to them the positions they held. When the French left Egypt the Turks betrayed their promise and executed numerous Beys. Ahmed managed to escape, in 1806: in Marseilles, he met Napoleon, who remembered him for having seen him fight valiantly and offered to take up service in his Mamluk Corps, but Ahmed refused. In the same year as this letter, 1816, there appeared in France a Notice sur Ahmed, Bey de Soliman réfugié en France, a short biography printed by the printer Michaud; in this Notice the affairs of the Mamluk bey were put forward as an emblematic example of the rapid change of men's fortunes.
