Bunis of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. 290x205mm. XIV+12+322 pages. Softcover. Cover and spine slightly stained/dirty. Cover edges and spine yellowing.

In -4°, pp. Cb, 25, 3 pp. bb., cartonato con tassello al dorso che racchiude la brossura editoriale. Sulla falsariga delle proposte cinquecentesche del Trissino, il marchese Luigi Malaspina di Sannazzaro pubblica questo curioso volume in cui si propone un sistema per evitare l’ambiguità nei casi in cui un grafema esprima più di un fonema (C, G, E, etc.). L’opera, discorsiva, comprende alla fine due tavole in cui si vuole normalizzare l’accento di E e O nelle voci ambigue e alla fine una lettera esemplificante, di Annibal Caro, in cui lo stesso testo viene rappresentato coll’alfabeto corrente e quello proposto (la lettera diventa di “Annibal Karo”, per esempio). Raro (due copie in Iccu) e curioso. A XIX century project to reform the Italian Alphabet.

8vo. Xxiv, 160 pages. In German with Arabic and Hebrew. SUBJECT (S) : Hebrew language grammar history. SERIES: Beiträge zur Geschichte der ältesten Auslegung und Spracherklärung des Alten Testamentes ; ; Bd. 1. Ewald (1803-1875) was a Protestant theologian [and] scholar of the Bible, Israelite history, and Semitic languages... He served as professor at Goettingen and Tuebingen. He was twice dismissed from his post once in 1837 for protesting against the abolition of the Hanoverian constitution by the king, and again in 1867 for refusing to swear allegiance to the king of Prussia. Ewald viewed historical criticism not as a religious threat but as a means of reconstructing the process by which divine providence had chosen to reveal the true faith to humanity. He believed that the stories of the patriarchs could be used to reconstruct ancient Israelite tribal history, but that the patriarchs themselves were "ideal types. " Ewald was more positive in his historical assessment of Moses. As for the Hebrew prophets, it was through them that God gave the most important truths to humanity. Ewald also did research on Hebrew and Arabic grammar and on the medieval works of Hebrew grammar, which were written in Arabic. He is considered the father of the theory of Hebrew syntax.

Les 'Synonymes français' ne sont pas 'seulement' un dictionnaire: le titre l'affirmait avec orgueil : il s'agit de la 'justesse de la langue', de cette justesse qui 'convient par tout', qui 'plaît toujours' et qui 'plaît seule', alors que 'rien ne plaît sans elle' " (cf. J. Breuillard, ‘Les synonymes de l'Abbé Girard’ in ‘Dix-huitième siècle’, 2006/1, n° 38). Grammairien français, chapelain de la duchesse de Berry et secrétaire interprète du roi pour les langues slavonne et russe, l'auteur fut élu à l'Académie française en 1744. Très bel exemplaire.

8vo. Viii, 198 pages. In German with Hebrew. SUBJECT (S) : Hebrew language grammar history; Hebrew philology. SERIES: Beiträge zur Geschichte der ältesten Auslegung und Spracherklärung des Alten Testamentes ; ; Bd. 2. Dukes [1810-1891] was born in Pressburg, Hungary. He was a student of R. Moses Sofer and of R. Hayyim Joseph Pollak; the latter introduced him to secular study. An inveterate, though poor, traveler, Dukes visited most of the important libraries in Europe, researching Jewish manuscripts and uncovering many hitherto unknown medieval works. His research covered various aspects of language and literature: aggadic literature, Bible exegesis, medieval Jewish literature, Hebrew grammar and the masoretic text, and talmudic maxims and truisms. Frequently, however, his research was unsystematic and his edited texts in need of correction. (EJ, 2007) BOUND WITH: Ewald, Heinrich.
