Born Joseph Hammer in Graz, Styria (now
Austria), he received his early education mainly in Vienna. Entering the
diplomatic service in 1796, he was appointed in 1799 to a position in the
Austrian embassy in Istanbul, and in this capacity he took part in the
expedition under Admiral William Sidney Smith and General John Hely-Hutchinson
against France. In 1807 he returned home from the East, after which he was made
a privy councillor.



In 1824 he was knighted (Chevalier).



For fifty years Hammer-Purgstall wrote prolifically on the most diverse subjects
and published numerous texts and translations of Arabic, Persian and Turkish
authors. He was the first to publish a complete translation of the divan of
Hafez into a western language.[1] By traversing so large a field, he laid
himself open to the criticism of specialists, and he was severely handled by
Heinrich Friedrich von Diez (1751–1817), who, in his Unfug und Betrug in der
morgenländischen Litteratur, nebst vielen hundert Proben von der groben
Unwissenheit des H. v. Hammer zu Wien in Sprachen und Wissenschaften (1815),
devoted to him nearly 600 pages of abuse. He also came into friendly conflict on
the subject of the origin of The Thousand and One Nights with his younger
English contemporary Edward William Lane.



He supported the foundation of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and
became the Academy's first president (1847–1849). The Austrian Oriental Society,
founded in 1959 to foster cultural relations with the Near East, is formally
named 'Österreichische Orient-Gesellschaft Hammer-Purgstall' in recognition of
Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall's accomplishments.

In 1847 he received a medal commissioned by a friend of his, Ludwig August von
Frankl. The reverse references some of his works in pictures.



He died in Vienna on 23 November 1856.

It’s pretty good!
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White
It’s okay ig… comes with a TON of stuffing but is removable and it’s got 2 different sides that feel different. One is cooling and one is comfort. It overall good pillow, but nothing special about it fr. Good quality though.

It works! Quality pillow.
Size: Standard (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This does actually provide a cooling effect, and it's very comfortable! The accompanying literature is helpful too. I believe this to be a quality pillow for the price.

Most comfortable pillow I’ve ever slept on
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White(cooling)
This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on. It doesn't mash down like other pillows. Cradles my neck perfectly plus it’s cool. I broke my neck a couple of years ago and this pillow feels very good and comfortable. Definitely recommend to everyone. Ive used it since May and it’s retained its shape.

Smell
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
The fact that there are not more comments on the smell of these pillows has me worried about some of yall. Listen, I LOVE the weight, and the firmness, it’s perfect for that. However, these pillows are RANK. They have a very strong mildew-ish smell that lingers. I took the outer cover off and washed it and let the pillow air out for a few days, the smell is still very strong when you press your face against it, which one does because it is in fact designed for that purpose. It smells so bad. It’s nauseating. I can smell it through two pillowcases and blanket that I threw on top of them hoping an extra layer would trap the smell. I’ll bake them in the Texas sun tomorrow and hope that helps, because otherwise these are the perfect pillows for someone who wants to feel like they are hugging a torso but can’t stand the sound/feel of someone else breathing. I don’t know…4 stars, if the smell goes away I’ll come back. Update: many many days later. Either they don’t really smell anymore or I got use to it. They’ve held their firmness and shape well. I like them.
