Extremely rare early Viennese edition of this bilingual "Genesis" in Hebrew and Ottoman Turkish one of only three produced by the Adolf Holzhausen Printing House in Vienna a major centre for Hebrew book production in its time. According to the Özege catalogue it represents one of the few bilingual Holzhausen editions. Adolf Holzhausen 1868-1931 was an influential Austrian-Jewish publisher and bookseller notable for his contributions to the world of printing and publishing in Vienna. He was the son of Adolf Holzhausen the Elder 1827-1892 who led the Viennese court and the university's book printing company. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the book trade Holzhausen received thorough training in the family business; his father had owned the prestigious Manzsche Buchdruckerei Manzsche Book Printing Company since 1858. Holzhausen developed specialized expertise in typesetting and printing of oriental scripts and he supplied his company with carefully crafted oriental typefaces which were highly valued in scholarly and literary circles. Building on this expertise he eventually established his own university book printing company as well as a private publishing house focusing primarily on art books historical works and scholarly publications. Following the upheavals of the First World War Holzhausen was appointed head of the Austrian Military Geography Institute reflecting both his organizational abilities and his intellectual reputation. Beyond his publishing and military contributions he was a strong advocate for collaboration among Austrian educational book publishers promoting greater unity and standards in the production of educational materials. Through his dual roles as a printer and publisher Holzhausen left a lasting impact on Viennese cultural and academic life bridging traditional craftsmanship with modern publishing practices and fostering scholarship in art and history.

174849255Leiden: Jean Luzac 1748. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Quarto. 8 cviii 522 60 indices & corrigendapp. Text in two columns with Hebrew text and facing Latin translation interspersed with commentary. Title in red and black with engraved vignette; woodcut ornaments. Contemporary Dutch paneled vellum with blind-stamped vignettes and ruled borders; manuscript title at spine. Covers lightly soiled. Occasional touches of soiling and some leaves with mild embrowning. A very good copy generally crisp and clean.<br /> <br /> First edition of this comprehensive commentary to the biblical Book of Proverbs by the Dutch semitic language scholar 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. Forty-one 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.<br /> <br /> At this time a chief concern of Calvinist theologians was to liberate Old Testament exegesis from 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. <br /> <br /> Like his earlier commentary on the Biblical Book of Job one here finds that 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." <br /> <br /> 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. Isaac van der Mijn is noted as the printer at the colophon of the second volume.<br /> <br /> Provenance: bookplate of the Crozer Theological Seminary - Bucknell Library; bookseller's ticket of Librairie Ancienne et Moderne de Frederik Muller Amsterdam at the front paste-down.

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." <br /> <br /> 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. Isaac van der Mijn is noted as the printer at the colophon of the second volume.<br /> <br /> Provenance: printed label of the Bibliotheca Seminarii Warmondani at the front endleaf of the first volume.
