August Immanuel Bekker 21 May 1785 7 June 1871 was a German philologist and critic. Born in Berlin Bekker completed his classical education at the University of Halle under Friedrich August Wolf who considered him as his most promising pupil. In 1810 he was appointed professor of philosophy in the University of Berlin. For several years between 1810 and 1821 he travelled in France Italy England and parts of Germany examining classical manuscripts and gathering materials for his great editorial labours. Some of the fruits of his researches were published in the Anecdota Graeca 3 vols 18141821 but the major results are to be found in the enormous array of classical authors edited by him. Anything like a complete list of his works would occupy too much space but it may be said that his industry extended to nearly the whole of Greek literature with the exception of the tragedians and lyric poets. His best known editions are those of Plato 18161823 Oratores Attici 18231824 Aristotle 18311836 Aristophanes 1829 and twenty-five volumes of the Corpus Scriptorum Historiae Byzantinae. The only Latin authors edited by him were Livy 18291830 and Tacitus 1831. Bekker confined himself entirely to manuscript investigations and textual criticism; he contributed little to the extension of other types of scholarship. Bekker numbers have become the standard way of referring to the works of Aristotle and the Corpus Aristotelicum. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1861. He died in Berlin aged 86. Wikipedia hardcover

Octavo. viii 315 1 558 392pp. Bound in modern brown half-cloth over decorative paper-covered boards with gilt lettering and decorative ruling on spine. Light brown endpapers. The author Isaac Aboab lived in Toledo at the end of the 14th century. His Hebrew work Menorath HaMe'or "The Candelabrum of Light" is a classic ethical work. It became immensely popular among the Jews in the Middle Ages with more than seventy editions printed. Originally written in Hebrew it was translated into Spanish Ladino Yiddish and German with the 1st edition printed in Constantinople in 1514. <br /> <br /> "Developing the image of the seven-branched candlestick cf. Num. 4:9 Isaac divides his work into seven nerot "lamps". These in turn are subdivided into main divisions parts and chapters. Using the three parts of Psalms 34:15 as general headings he assigns the seven lamps to them in the following manner: a "Depart from evil" 1 guard against envy lust ambition; 2 be wary of sins attendant upon speech. b "Do good" 3 observance of mitzvot such as circumcision rearing of children prayer festivals honoring parents founding a family charity justice; 4 study of Torah; 5 repentance. c "Seek peace and pursue it" 6 peace and love for fellowman; and 7 humility. Into this rather loose framework lsaac fitted a wealth of aggadic material culled from the Talmud and the vast midrashic literature. His use of passages from aggadic works now lost and the variants in the talmudic and midrashic texts he cites make the Menorat ha-Ma'or of great importance for establishing the text of the Talmud used in the Spanish-North African academies as distinct from that of the Franco-German school. Isaac is selective in using esoteric texts and he fights shy of statements that may provoke doubt and heresy." -see:encyclopedia dot com. <br /> <br /> The translation by R. J. Fürstenthal was completed by Benzion Behrend. Block somewhat browned with sporadic light foxing. Water stain at lower foredge and bottom visible for about fifty pages.
