1814372931Philadelphia: Cura et Impensis Thomae Dobson edita ex aedibus Lapideis. Typis Gulielmi Fry 1814. First American edition. Text in Hebrew with notes in Latin. 6 296; 2 312 leaves. Half titles present in each volume. Uncut. 2 vols. 8vo. Original blue paper boards rebacked with plain paper. Provenance: Hugh Blair Grigsby booklabels. In a blue cloth folding box. First American edition. Text in Hebrew with notes in Latin. 6 296; 2 312 leaves. Half titles present in each volume. Uncut. 2 vols. 8vo. The first complete Hebrew Bible printed in America. Hebrew type was first used in the North American colonies in the Bay Psalm Book printed in 1640 in Cambridge. Over the next ninety-five years Hebrew type appeared in a handful of American imprints usually in brief examples of single words or short sentences. Paucity of appropriate type would continue to be a problem over the years that followed. The first Jewish Psalter was finally published in 1809 followed by this complete Bible five years later. "In 1812 Mr. Horwitz had proposed the publication of this edition of the Hebrew Bible the first proposal of the kind in the United States; early in 1813 be transferred his right and list of subscribers to Mr. Thos. Dobson who published soon afterwards the 1st volume" O'Callaghan. The title page indicates that this work is a reprinting of the second edition of the Joseph Athias Bible edited by Leusden with Latin notes by Everardo Van der Hought and that the Hebrew is printed without vowels. An important piece of American printing and of Jewish Americana. Darlow and Moule 5168a; Goldman 4; Rosenbach 171; Shaw and Shoemaker 30857; Singerman 236; M.

158653478Wittenberg: Zacharias Crato Krafft 1586. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Four parts quarto published between 1586 and 1587. Register continuous through parts 1 and 2; separate registers for parts 3 and 4. Collation in 4s: 1-65 blank 33.4; 1-30 lacks blank 30.4; 1-32 lacks 32.4 colophon. 506 leaves. Title within elaborate woodcut borders. Single-column text in vocalized Hebrew with cantillation; printed side-glosses. Separate Hebrew half-titles within woodcut borders for the latter three parts Former Prophets; Later Prophets; Hagiographa; names of the biblical books set in large font within woodcut cartouches. Later vellum. Title and following three leaves with marginal reinforcement slight text loss. Occasional mild embrowning else very good with bright half-titles. First Wittenberg edition of the complete Hebrew Scriptures with a concluding list of Haftaroth readings noting the Ashkenazi and Sefardi variations. Our copy is the variant with Hebrew and Latin title. A majority of the few surviving copies are bound with a Hebrew title and the publisher's information is taken from the colophon which provides a Jewish calendar date of 5347 = 1587. Vinograd notes that individual books and sections of the Hebrew Bible had been printed at Wittenberg since a quarto edition of the prophet Obadiah appeared in 1521. The title-page designs were re-used in the Hebrew bible published at Frankfurt am Oder in 1595. Each book closes with the Masora Finales printed in square type. Andreas Masch notes in his revised edition of Le Long's Bibliotheca Sacra 1778: "This edition of the Hebrew Bible is so rare and infrequent that it was omitted in the earlier edition of Le Long's work at Paris but it is known to Wolffius Bibliotheca Hebraea not in its entirety but only in respect of certain parts." One can speculate as to why the edition is rare but it may be worth noting that "when Hans and Friedrich Hartmann decided to start producing Hebraica in an effort to become the official printer for the univeristy of Frankfurt/Oder they were able to do so relatively quickly by hiring away five experienced workmen from Zacharias Croto's Wittenberg firm which was having financial difficulties" Burnett. Masch continues: "At the colophon is noted the year and the name of those at whose expense this Hebrew Bible was published: colophon info in Heb. and Latin The above example is therefore attributed to the liberality of the prince and to the expense of the two citizens of Wittenberg But the RÃ¼hilii brothers were not correctors of the work but citizens and senators of Witteberg whose name is quite famous in the history of the Germanic Bibles. The work came from the workshop of Zacharias Craton otherwise known as Kraft to whom we owe several editions of German Bibles. The title in both copies represents a gate in which above and below Ps. 118 com. 20. is printed. In accordance with the first Plantin edition the text was printed so as to match nearly page-for-page. It is composed of four parts with the five festival books added to the Pentateuch; but each part is decorated with a special title."

Torat ha-Mashiah. Lex Messiae. Lex Dei nova: id est Evangelium Domini nostri Iesu Christi secundum Matthaeum Evangelistam The Law of the Messiah. The New Law of God: That Is The Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ According the Matthew the Evangelist

1700557661700. Very good-. Small octavo 14.1 by 8.5 cm. Manuscript in black and brown ink; 18-20 lines per page; text in vocalized Hebrew. 6 title and editor's preface 146 12 blank 10 notes. Lacks the first leaf which has been supplied in manuscript by a later owner. 19th-century limp morocco rubbed at extremities gilt dentelles marbled endleaves. Faint dampstain along bottom margin occasional smudges and mild stains else very good with crisp text. Early modern transcription of the Hebrew version of the Gospel of Matthew published in 1551 at Paris by Martin le Jeune with notes at the rear likely the work of a student. This edition was prepared by Jean Cinqarbres Quinquarboreus; 1514-1587 who jointly held the chair of King's Professor of Hebrew Literature at the University of Paris with Jean Mercier d. 1570. Lapide describes this as a "literal" edition and notes that the learned French bibliographer and father of the Oratory Jacques Le Long regarded it as the "true and authentic Gospel of Matthew." Like many of the surviving copies it lacks the Appendix which comprised the Seven Penetential Psalms Psalm CXIX Daniel's Prayer and the Ten Commandments. Apart from minor formatting changes e.g. breaks between chapters the text appears to be a faithful copy including vowel points and some of the additional cantillation marks the printed marginalia new Hebrew page numbers and Cinqarbres's dated preface. As the original version contains only 17 lines of text per page the transcription is not a page-for-page copy. Here the copiest appears quite fastidious in providing appropritate new catchwords! The Latin portion of the title however differs notably from the original which reads: Sanctum Domini nostri Iesu Christi Hebraicum Evangelium secundum Matthaeum. "In 1537 Sebastian MÃ¼nster published his Hebrew version of the Gospel of Matthew at Basel the first printed edition of the New Testament in the so-called 'mother tongue of the evangelist' as he states in his preface" Lapide. Like the Paris edition of Hebrew Matthew upon which the present copy is based MÃ¼nster entitled his version Torat ha-Mashiah The Teaching of the Messiah. While MÃ¼nster's version of Matthew was long believed to be based on the 14th-century Hebrew translation by the Jewish polemicist Shem Tov ben Isaac ibn Shaprut more recent scholarship has called this attribution into question. "There are medieval Hebrew forms of Matthew that most scholars think of as retroversions from the Greek of canonical Matthew often made to serve in arguments between Christians and Jews. However some claim that these texts are a guide to the original Hebrew of Matthew French scholars like J. Carmignac and M. Dubarle have contributed to this thesis. Still other scholars think they can reconstruct the original Hebrew or Aramaic underlying the whole or parts of the Greek text of canonical Matthew on the assumption that the original was in Semitic. The vast majority of scholars however contend that the Gospel we know as Matthew was composed originally in Greek and is not a translation of a Semitic original" Brown. Provenance and annotations: The copiest has added notes following the main text comprising a Seder shel Miqra / Ordo Bibliorum in which the tripartite division of the Scriptures according to Jewish tradition is described. Then follows several pages of Hebrew terminology with biblical references and definitions in Latin. Along with one or two references to rabbinic literature an erudite reference to the Passover Haggadah notes Rabbi Judah's grouping of the ten plagues into three acronyms. At the head of the leaf inserted after Cinqarbres' preface is the note "When I bought this Mss. the first chapter from verse one unto verse 14 and part of verse 15. I filled in the missing verses. May. 18th. 1901. Llewellyn Saunderson 10 De Vesse Terrace Kingstown Co. Dublin" References: R. Brown Introduction to the New Testament 1997 p. 210; P.

Adams B1890 wanting the appendix; Darlow & Moule 5095: An independent edition of Shem Tob's version see no. 5088 which notes: The editor S. MÃ¼nster obtained an imperfect MS. copy of St. Matthew's Gospel in Hebrew which had been made as early as 1385 for polemical purposes by Shem Tob b. Shaprut a Jew of Tudela in Castile. He revised and completed this for the press Basel: H.

Biblia Sacra Hebraica & Chaldaica cum Masora The Holy Bible in Hebrew and Aramaic with the Masorah BOUND WITH: Tiberias COPIES of the ACCLAIMED OLD TESTAMENT SCHOLAR BREVARD CHILDS previously held at THE GREAT SYNAGOGUE OF MINSK

161948847Basel: Ludwig König 1619. First editions. Hardcover. Good. Seven parts in two volumes folio biblical texts and commentary in four parts continuously foliated; two supplemental sections each with separate foliation; Tiberias 1620 with separate pagination here bound after the second part - Vol. 1: 6 title and prelims 1-228 1 sect. title 234-441 1 blankff.; 6 sect. title and prelims 2 blank 114 2 blankpp. Vol. 2: 442-946; 8 Targum Yerushalmi; last leaf unfoliated; 67 Masora 1 blankff. Largely arranged in two columns of biblical texts in square font surrounded by commentaries in rabbinic Rashi font; text reads from right to left. This copy with collective Latin title surrounded by biblical quotations in Hebrew set within elaborate woodcut architectural borders. Hebrew sectional titles set within the same woodcut borders for the second and fourth parts with a plain letterpress half-title for the Five Megillot. The third sectional title for the Latter Prophets is lacking as are the Ashkenazi Haftarot readings not found in all copies. Apart from these lacks the Rabbinic Bible collates complete despite numerous errors in foliation throughout as per the detailed notes in Prijs Die Basler hebräischen Drucke. Opening word of each biblical book set in large one-third to one-half page cartouche vignettes with elaborate woodcut borders and surrounding letterpress Hebrew text. Main Latin title dated 1619 with the editor's Latin preface to the reader appearing at the verso. Jewish date chronogram for the second section Former Prophets dated 5378 1618/1619. Early twentieth-century black cloth boards worn at extremities gilt-lettered spine. Title moderately soiled re-inforced at gutter; neat old repairs to corners and fore-edge of title and next three leaves; old Russian stamp at bottom margin title manuscript entry in Russian along fore-edge dated 1837; intermittent mild to moderate marginal dampstains largely confined to corners and embrowning throughout both volumes somewhat more heavily in the first especially throughout Tiberias; top right corner of the opening leaf in vol. 2 repaired with loss of about 12 words surrounding title cartouche recto and some text in 9 lines of the commentary at the verso. Overall a good set with a notable chain of provenance. Sixth Rabbinic Bible in Hebrew: Mikra'ot Gedolot edited by Johann Buxtorf I 1565-1629 professor of Hebrew at the University of Basel and the foremost Christian Hebraist of his era with the assistance of the Jewish scholars Abraham Braunschweig who served as the principal corrector and Mordechai Gumplin of Posen. This was "a truly audacious undertaking for his time" Burnett From Christian Hebraism to Jewish Studies as no Christian scholar had yet attempted to edit the entire biblical corpus including the Aramaic versions Targumim and masoretic notes. Based mainly on the third Rabbinic Bible published by Daniel Bomberg at Venice in 1546-1548 the editor has carefully incorporated elements from two other Venetian editions. At the verso of the Latin title Buxtorf provides a detailed bibliographical excursus on the earlier Venetian editions and offers a tribute to Bomberg's industry by reprinting the colophon of the second Venetian Rabbinic Bible 1524-1525 at the conclusion of the masoretic appendix with text by the Hebrew grammarian and lexicographer Elijah Levita 1468 or 1469-1549 and a new introduction by Abraham Braunschweig. The design of the sectional titles and separate book title vignettes closely model those of the Venetian editions. "Buxtorf did not plan simply to reprint one of the existing Venice editions but rather to assemble the best features of them all into one work" and "to provide theologians with what he considered the most important tools for interpreting the Old Testament" Burnett. Buxtorf served in an official capacity as Basel's Hebrew censor charged with the oversight of all Jewish printing in the city and insuring that "no 'blasphemies' or slurs against Christians or Christianity appear in any book printed in Basel" Burnett. He carefully edited the Jewish commentaries in the Rabbinic Bible in accordance with this mandate "and removed many words and phrases which had escaped the attention of earlier censors" Burnett. The Rabbinic Bible contains the vocalized Masoretic text of the Hebrew Scriptures with accents and a vocalized Targum an Aramaic paraphrase of the biblical text: Onkelos for the Pentateuch; Jonathan b. Uzziel for the Prophets; and Targum Hagiographa for the Writings. The Hebrew and Aramaic versions are printed in square characters and presented in facing columns at the center of each page. The Jerusalem Targum of the Pentateuch appears as an appendix. In addition to the Aramaic paraphrases the Rabbinic Bible includes a massive scholarly apparatus of biblical commentaries by Rashi Ibn Ezra Baal ha-Turim Jacob b. Asher R. David Kimchi Radak R. Levi b. Gershon Ralbag Saadia Gaon and R. Isaiah along with the Masora a corpus of critical notes on the external form of the Biblical text compiled by Jewish scholars from late antiquity through the medieval era. As frequently occurs a copy of Buxtorf's work on the textual history of the Hebrew Bible Tiberias the 1620 first edition is bound-in. This work was made possible by the publication in 1538 of Elijah Levita's Masoret ha-Masoret a commentary on the Masora which Buxtorf translated into Latin for his own private use in 1593. "Buxtorf was concerned with the integrity of the consonantal text and the origin and integrity of the vowel points and accents of the Hebrew Bible from the very beginning of his scholarly career" and while he had earlier published a long excursus on the age of the vowel points and accents in his 1609 Thesaurus Grammaticus "Tiberias is Buxtorf's fullest and most impressive work on the history of the biblical text" Burnett. Intended as a reference work for Christian students and scholars interested in studying the Masora Buxtorf was also keen to refute the view advanced by Levita that the Hebrew vowel points were early medieval innovations. Our folio version of Tiberias was intended to accompany the Rabbinic Bible and has the same architectural borders at the title. König also published a quarto edition in the same year but only the folio version includes a critical commentary on the Masora in which Buxtorf proposes various corrections to the Masoretic notes. As noted at the title Buxtorf's faithful study and tireless labor studio fido et labore indefesso yielded notably long-lasting results: "The Basel rabbinical Bible became a standard tool for research among Christian scholars and would remain so. until the end of the nineteenth century" Burnett. A vast array of early modern scholars including Protestants like Johannes Drusius and John Selden as well as Roman Catholics like Robert Bellarmine and Andreas Masius owned a copy or two of the Rabbinic Bible. "Johannes Buxtorf's thoroughly censored "Christian" version of the Rabbinic Bible Basel 1618-19 only made it easier for Hebraists to own copies of their own" Burnett Christian Hebraism in the Reformation Era p.163. A note on the date of publication: "The actual printing began between the mid-August and mid-September of 1618. According to the colophon production ended on the 24 of Ab 5379 = August 4 1619 but since this date also appeared on the colophon of the Bomberg Biblia rabbinica edition of 1524-25 reprinted unchanged in the 1546-48 and 1568 editions it is suspect. Prijs suggested that the probable completion date was sometime during Ab of 5379 between July 12 and August 10 of 1619" Burnett. Provenance: from the library of acclaimed theologian and biblical scholar Brevard Childs with his entry at the free endpaper in the second volume. The earlier bookplate of judge Samuel Heller with his motto in Hebrew: Mi-kol melamdai hiskalti from all my teachers I have learned appears at the front paste-down. An old blue ink-stamp in Hebrew characters makes occasional appearances the text: Bet ha-Midrash ha-Gadol Minsk The Great Synagogue of Minsk. A Russian entry dated 1837 appears at the fore-margin of the main title along with an old ink stamp in Russian at the bottom margin the last word of which reads "Rabbina" References: Biblia Sacra: Burnett 7.

As noted at the title Buxtorf's faithful study and tireless labor studio fido et labore indefesso yielded notably long-lasting results: "The Basel rabbinical Bible became a standard tool for research among Christian scholars and would remain so. until the end of the nineteenth century" Burnett. A vast array of early modern scholars including Protestants like Johannes Drusius and John Selden as well as Roman Catholics like Robert Bellarmine and Andreas Masius owned a copy or two of the Rabbinic Bible. "Johannes Buxtorf's thoroughly censored "Christian" version of the Rabbinic Bible Basel 1618-19 only made it easier for Hebraists to own copies of their own" Burnett Christian Hebraism in the Reformation Era p.163. A note on the date of publication: "The actual printing began between the mid-August and mid-September of 1618. According to the colophon production ended on the 24 of Ab 379 = August 4 1619 but since this date also appeared on the colophon of the Bomberg Biblia rabbinica edition of 1524-25 reprinted unchanged in the 1546-48 and 1568 editions it is suspect. Prijs suggested that the probable completion date was sometime during Ab of 379 between July 12 and August 10 of 1619" Burnett. References: Biblia Sacra: Burnett 7. Cowley 87.

First Hebrew Bible published in Amsterdam printed by the rabbi diplomat publisher and religious thinker Menasseh ben Israel 1604-1657 one of the most distinguished members of the Portuguese Jewish community of Amsterdam and the first Jewish printer in the Northern Netherlands. The Amsterdam printer and publisher Hendrick Laurensz Lauretius provided the financing for this edition along with two other Bible editions and two editions of the Hebrew Psalms printed by Menasseh between 1631 and 1646. "These publications were not only made for the local market but mainly for international trade. Thanks to this financial help Menasseh was able to organize his printing office in a more professional way" Fuks hiring a Jewish compositor Judah Leb ben Mordecai Gimple from Posen and a gentile compositor Bartholomeus Laurensz. The printing activity of Menasseh was especially important in the steadily growing productions of the Hebrew press in the Northern Netherlands. Fulfilling the needs of the Sephardic community for Jewish ritual texts eliminated the need for expensive imports from Venice and Poland. Menasseh undersood that the relatively cheap paper and tools available in Amsterdam made it possible to compete in quality and prices with the Hebrew presses of Poland Italy and Basel. "Gentile publishers and booksellers in Amsterdam such as Jansonius and Laurentius were quick to see the opportunity of the opening Eastern European market and financed several of Menasseh's publications" Fuks. Menasseh was the first to introduce in the Netherlands waybertaytsch types for Yiddish publications along with illustrated Hebrew books. He was also the first Jewish printer to adopt the Dutch pocket-book format made famous by the Elzeviers. Notes on publication date and issue: The title is dated 1630 in Arabic numerals; the colophon notes the date of completion in Hebrew characters as 5 Adar 5391 = 7 February 1631 along with the printer's apology for being unable to provide the index of pericopes promised on the title-page due to lack of printing material. Darlow and Moule describe this issue as Variant A with a Latin imprint appearing in the cartouche beneath the Hebrew title. Provenance and annotations: early entry in brown ink at front paste-down with short Greek inscription Theos. dated 1700; old Latin inscription in black ink at top margin title in reference to Hebrew roots; date of 1812 beside Yiddish entry penned in black ink within imprint cartouche at title; old entry in German penned in black ink at verso title beneath which is an oval cartouche in imitation of the one at the title in which an owner has penned in black ink the Hebrew imprint information regarding Hendrick Laurensz as it would appear in the Varient B issue; old library shelf marks at rear paste-down; recent owner entry in blue ink in Hebrew at front paste-down.

Liber Jobi cum nova versione ad Hebraeum fontem et commentario perpetuo. Tomus Primus -Tomus Secundus The Book of Job Newly Translated from the Hebrew with a Running Commentary

173749261Leiden: Jean Luzac 1737. First edition. Two volumes large quarto. 52 544; 2 545-1232 63 indices 1 corrigendapp. Text in two columns with Hebrew text and facing Latin translation interspersed with commentary. Titles in red and black with engraved vignettes. Contemporary speckled calf; gilt-tooled spine with raised bands and morocco lettering pieces; gilt dentelles; edges daubed in red and green. Light scuffing to boards and fading to spines. A very good set with crisp clean text throughout. First edition of this comprehensive commentary to the biblical Book of Job by the Dutch scholar of Semitic languages Albert Schultens 1686-1750 who maintained "that the true nature of the Hebrew language and the meaning of many of its words and idioms are to be found chiefly in the Arabic" Orme. Fifty-five pages of the indices constitute a brief lexicon and provide Latin as well as Arabic equivalents for more than 1000 Hebrew words. Schultens studied theology and eastern languages at Groningen where he received his degree in theology in 1709. After a brief career as a preacher in Wassenaar he was nominated professor of Hebrew and Jewish antiquities at Franeker in 1713. In 1729 he decamped for Leiden were he was first appointed reader in eastern languages and finally full professor in 1732. At this time a chief concern of Calvinist theologians was to liberate Old Testament exegesis from the Jewish Rabbinic as well as Catholic traditions. Schultens' influential and controversial solution was revealed as early as 1706 in his first public thesis Disputatio theologico philologica de utilitate linguae Arabicae in interpretanda S. Scriptura A Theologico-Philosophical Dissertation on the Utility of the Arabic Language for the Interpretation of the Holy Scriptures "a forceful attack" Brugman & Schröder on the Protestant sola scriptura methodology of Biblical exegesis. "With the help of Jacobus Golius' Arabic dictionary he perused with zeal and fervour the Old Testament and wrote prolifically. The lexical superiority of Arabic had led him to a reconsideration of the position of Hebrew: at first he had called Arabic 'the most splendid daughter of mother Hebrew' but in his oration of 1729 he proclaimed Hebrew and Arabic cognate twin sisters. This shocked conservative theologians as an outright profanation of God's Word" Brugman & Schröder. "In 1737 he applied his theories in his bilingual edition of the book of the prophet Job whom he regarded as an Arab. The Hebrew text and the Latin translation are all but totally submerged by the extensive commentary in which Schultens draws abundantly on Arabic texts such as the Hamasa an anthology of early Arabic poetry by the ninth-century poet Abu Tammam" Vrolijk & van Leeuwen. Schultens was not without his critics and by 1824 William Orme notes a turning of the tide: "Different opinions are entertained of the correctness of his views and also of his success in applying them; but it is now generally admitted that he carries his notions of the advantage of Arabic learning to the interpretation of the Scriptures too far." Jean Luzac 1728-1777 was a member of a well-known Huguenot family of printers; he published many works for the University of Leiden including three Hebrew books of Albert Schultens.

Sefer ha-Kodesh ve-hu Torah Ne-vi'im Ketuvim gam Kitve Berit ha-Hadashah The Holy Scriptures that is Torah Prophets and Writings Along with the New Testament FIRST HEBREW VERSION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT PUBLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES

183952150Philadelphia: Bagster & Marshall 1839. First American edition. Hardcover. Good . Octavo. 6 10 778pp. Pointed Hebrew text in two columns the New Testament with only vocal marks. Continuous pagination in Arabic numerals; but separate Hebrew pagination for the Old and New Testaments. Contemporary three-quarter calf over pebbled cloth boards; spine with raised bands ruled and lettered in gilt. Decorative endleaves. Covers rubbed with wear at spine caps and corners. Library pressure stamp at title bookplate and pocket at paste-downs. A good ex-library copy with very clean fresh text throughout. First American edition of this Hebrew Bible earlier published by Samuel Bagster at London in 1835; it contains the first printing of the New Testament in Hebrew translation to appear in the United States. That translation was prepared by the philologist William Greenfield 1799-1831 the editorial superintendent of the British and Foreign Bible Society and first published by Samuel Bagster at London in 1831 D&M no. 5186. In preparing his revised Hebrew version Greenfield was allowed to utilise the London Jews' Society Hebrew New Testament published at London between 1813 and 1817 D&M no. 5170. Among the earliest publications of the society founded in 1809 this version was itself based upon Elias Hutter's Hebrew translation of the New Testament published at Nuremberg in 1599 D&M no. 5111. Prepared by a group of scholars under the supervision of Thomas Fry and William Bengo Collyer this London Jewsâ€™ Society edition employed only biblical words and translated Old Testament quotations from the Greek not citing them directly from the Hebrew Scriptures. The editor of the New Testament version in the present work appears to have had a notable gift for languages. William Greenfield began his Hebrew studies as a young man while apprenticed to a bookbinder taking lessons from one of his co-workers a Jew with some learning who had been described as "a reader of the law in the synagogue" ODNB. Greenfield subsequently left the business in 1824 in order to devote himself to languages and biblical criticism. His defence of the Serampore Mahratta version of the New Testament in response to an 1829 article in the Asiatic Journal brought him to the attention of the British and Foreign Bible Society who then hired him to superintend their editiorial department. "During his nineteen months in the society's service Greenfield wrote on twelve European five Asiatic one African and three American languages and acquired considerable knowledge of Peruvian African-English Chippeway and Berber" ODNB. His revision of the Hebrew New Testament earlier published by the London Jews' Society was among the last works he undertook for the British and Foreign Bible Society along with the revision of the Modern Greek Psalter as it went through the press.

Titles darkened and dusty; very occasional light foxing or oxidation spots; dampstain at bottom quarter of the first twenty and final four leaves in the first volume else a nearly fine wide-margined set crisp and uncut. First edition and the "earliest attempt to provide a critical edition of the Hebrew Scriptures on a large scaleâ€ D&M and a notable early example of a large-scale scholarly project which attracted international financial and scholarly support. The biblical scholar Benjamin Kennicott 1718-1783 was educated at Oxford and "instructed in Hebrew by Professor Thomas Hunt and the greater part of his life was spent in the collation of Hebrew manuscripts with the object of producing a definitive original text of the Old Testament. Robert Lowth always his major patron first inspired him with a desire to test the accuracy of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. With his formidable knowledge of Syriac early Latin the Septuagint and the Samaritan Pentateuch it was recognized that he was very well qualified for the task. His critical examination of manuscripts initially in the British Museum and the libraries of Oxford and Cambridge began in 1751 and when Thomas Secker then bishop of Oxford and also a member of Exeter College urged him in March 1758 to undertake their collation he agreed to the request. In return Secker when archbishop of Canterbury gave Kennicott his unstinting support and friendship when for a time he nurtured a project for producing a revised Authorized Version of the Bible. Meanwhile in 1753 Kennicott issued The State of the Printed Hebrew Text of the Old Testament Considered: a Dissertation and in 1759 he brought out a second dissertation on the same subject. He identified his object thus: to compare Scripture with itself to explain a difficult phrase or passage by a clear one that bears some relation to it to consider the natural force of the Original Words the tendency of the Context and the Design of the Writer; to compare the most ancient editions of the Original with one another and with the best copies of the most celebrated versions vol.1 p.12. These volumes were translated into Latin by W. A. Teller and published at Leipzig the first in 1756 the second with additions in 1765. Kennicott's scholarly endeavours attracted support in Britain and beyond. In England subscriptions amounted to Â£9119 7s. 6d.; in France the duc de Nivernois a former French ambassador to the court of St James patronized him and helped him to gain access to Parisian manuscript collections in 1767; the king of Denmark offered him the use of six ancient manuscripts; four quarto volumes of variant readings were sent to him on the king of Sardinia's orders; and the stadholder of the Netherlands made an annual donation of 30 guineas. His first report On the Collation of the Hebrew Manuscripts of the Old Testament was forwarded to the subscribers in December 1760 and a similar statement appeared each year until 1769. This annual summary afforded him an opportunity to defend the accuracy of his own collations the Hebraic scholarship of the staff assisting him and to print lists of subscribers. A copy of the entire work was personally presented by Kennicott to George III. Lowth called the 1776 variorum Old Testament 'a work the greatest and most important that has been undertaken and accomplished since the Revolution of Letters' B. Hepworth Robert Lowth p. 145" Nigel Aston ODNB. An early judgement on this seminal edition is provided by William Orme in his 1824 Bibliotheca Biblica: â€œThis is beyond all comparison the most splendid edition of the Hebrew Scriptures ever published. It was patronized by most of the crowned heads of Europe. It occupied its learned editor in preparation or actual labour more than thirty years. More than six hundred MSS. and editions were collated for it in all parts of Europe. The text is that of Vander Hooght without the points. The Samaritan Pentateuch where it differs from the Hebrew text is printed in parallel columns in the Hebrew character. The various readings are almost innumerable and occupy in general the largest half of every page. The Dissertatio Generalis annexed to the second volume is invaluable for the information which it contains respecting the state of the original text and the sound principles of criticism which it exhibits." The final leaf lists 312 manuscripts and some printed editions which provided the various readings noted throughout the apparatus. The concluding Dissertatio Generalis was republished separately at Braunschweig in 1783 by professor Paul Jakob Bruns who assisted Kennicott in his collations.

We invite you to participate in the great public demonstration that will take place Monday July 31 4:45 p.m. in Madison Square Park Madison Avenue and 24th Street Millions of Jews were murdered by the Nazis in all parts of Europe. Young and old women and men were driven into gas and death chambers and destroyed. In the current hour the greatest danger for those still alive in the Nazi countries. The Hitlerian beast which conquered and humiliated countries and murdered millions of people is ready to strangle and murder the surviving remnants of the Jewish people. Hundreds of thousands of Jews from Hungary are now in danger of death the tens of thousands of Jews left alive in Poland in France in Belgium in the Czech Republic where they are under Hitler's rule. In order to express our grief and anger to cry out our grief and appeal for help to the United Nations at the last moment a public demonstration is called by the Rescue Committee of the General Jewish Conference. We cannot and must not remain silent. People must help save the survivors. Come express your feelings desires and demands! It is demanding that the United Nations do everything possible to stop the death march! It is demanded that all those who are guilty of the murders will be brought to justice! The Nazi victims who are now struggling between death and life must know that we are with them. At a conference of representatives of the trade union organizations called by the Jewish Labor Committee it was decided to actively participate in the great national demonstration. We must do everything we can so that the demonstration will be imposing and effective. Leave the store no later than 4 o'clock. Marched to the site of the demonstration in Madison Square Park. Overtime is not allowed on this day. With Trade Union Regards United Hebrew Trades Reuven Guskin President Maurice Tigel Vice-President William Wolpert Executive Secretary" The rally was covered by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency JTA the next day: "Tens of thousands of Jews and non-Jews crowded Madison Square Park today at an open-air mass-demonstration in behalf of the Jews of Hungary and other parts of Nazi Europe sponsored by the 64 affiliated agencies of the American Jewish Conference with the cooperation of the American Jewish Committee and other national organizations. Speakers at the demonstration included Assistant U. S. Attorney General Norman M. Littell who is secretary of the National Committee Against Persecution of Jews; Dr. Stephen S.Wise president of the American Jewish Congress and co-chairman of the American Jewish Conference; Judge Joseph M. Proskauer president of the American Jewish Committee; Henry Monsky president of B'nai B'rith and co-chairman of the American Jewish Conference; Adolph Held president of the Jewish Labor Committee and many other noted Jewish and Christian leaders. The huge mass-meeting in which Jews from all walks of life participated adopted a declaration stating that it is not yet too late 'to save thousands upon thousands' of Jews for the day of liberation. The meeting appealed in the first instance to President Roosevelt and the Government of the United States and through them to the United Nations and to the neutral states." The original JTA covers including a full list of the demands from the rally and other details can be viewed at www.jta.org/archive/huge-open-air-demonstration-in-new-york-demands-rescue-of-jews-from-europe Leading national Jewish organizations organized this July 31 1944 Madison Square Park mass rally to demand Allied action against the Nazi slaughter of European Jews. New York had at the time the world's biggest Jewish population with a Jewish community of around 2 million. The city had hosted numerous similar rallies over the previous decade all focused on building opposition to Hitler and support for the struggling Jews of Europe. Beginning on March 4 1934 "One year after Hitler's ascension to power in Germany tens of thousands of New Yorkers gathered at Madison Square Garden to hear the words of Rabbi Stephen Wise. 'Despite the oceanic tragedy which has befallen us' Wise pronounced 'we Jews tonight joining in the chorus of civilization indict Hitlerism as humans as members of civilized society before the high court of human judgment.' Wise's words resonated for audience members attending the rally that March night. Over the course of the evening they heard from a chorus of voices representing the American public self-identifying across different racial religious and ideological lines. Framed as a 'court' the speakers at the rally gathered to indict Hitler for his crimes against civilization an intentionally pointed term that would offend Nazi ideologues claiming to protect civilization through Aryan supremacy. This mock trial was part of a larger trend of American Jewish protest performances staged during the Third Reich that intended to garner support for the rescue of European Jews. On March 27 the AJCongress American Jewish Congress successfully staged a rally titled Stop Hitler Now to an audience of twenty thousand Jews in Madison Square Garden. Outside of the Garden thirty-five thousand people stood protesting and ten thousand more marched through Brooklyn in solidarity. Simultaneous protests also occurred in major cities across the country. The United Press estimated that one million protesters participated in the nationwide demonstration that day. In retaliation to the American uproar Hitler threatened a one-day boycott against German Jewish businesses to be resumed three days later if 'international protests' did not cease. Wise after speaking with Undersecretary William Phillips at the State Department agreed to a brief silence on the matter" Gonzalez Maya.
