A very rare copy of this classic of Medieval Jewish philosophy, presenting the fears of Spanish Jews, faced with two powerful religions, Christianity and Islam. Written in 1140 in Arabic, the Kuzari is couched in the form of a dialogue in five books. Charles Touati, in his 1994 preface to the text, summarizes the narrative thread of the work thus: «The king of the Khazars or Kuzari, tormented by the religious question, interrogates - in turn - a philosopher, a Christian theologian and a Muslim one. Disappointed in their answers, he feels he must turn to a learned man of the mocked and vilified minority, a Rabbi, who ends up convincing him, at which the king converts to Judaism and continues his studies with the aid of this teacher.» This apologia allowed Juda Halevi to critique the appeal of philosophy, Christianity and Islam for his contemporaries. According to him, «philosophy denies all possibility of dialogue between Man and God, and does not understand the religious phenomenon» (ibid.). Right from his starting point, a proof of the existence of God, he believes that we need only look to history and the revelation of God on Mount Sinai, witnessed by thousands. Christianity and Islam are for him nothing but forgeries of Judaism: «they jeer at the humiliations and suffering of the Jews without realizing that they exalt, in the founder of their own religions, precisely that humiliation and suffering» (ibid.). The Kuzari is an emblematic text in the sense that it calls for the exiled community to return to Zion rather than submit. «It is better to leave everything and go back to Zion and there regain Divine favor, instead of wearing ourselves out winning the favor of gentiles which in any case we will never have» (ibid.). [FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS] Édition originale de la traduction latine de Johannes Buxtorf Fils établie d'après la première traduction en hébreu de Juda ibn Tibbon, le texte arabe de Juda Halevi ne sera retrouvé qu'en 1887 et est aujourd'hui conservé à la Bodleian Library.

4to. (16), 48 (recte: 44), 171, (16) pp., final blank page. Title-page with engraved border. With several woodcut illustrations in the text, and 2 folding plates. 17th century full vellum. Marbled endpapers. All edges marbled. Rare edition of the extensive commentary on Plutarch's essay "De virtute morali" by the humanist and Duke of Atri, A. M. Acquaviva (1458-1529), first published in 1526. The present edition, published nearly 80 years later, is a reprint of the first, and was edited by the humanist Giulio Belli (1570-1650). Apart from the four-book commentary, which makes up the largest part of the volume, it includes Plutarch's text in Greek type and Latin translation. The majority of the woodcut illustrations accompany the commentary on Plutarch's writings on astronomy (pp. 78-96), displaying the orbits of the sun, moon, Earth, and other planets, as well as the section on Pseudo-Plutarch's "De musica" (pp. 26-77), showing bells and musical scales. Attributed to Plutarch, "De musica" was included in several editions of the "Moralia", a text corpus of 78 essays and speeches ascribed to the first-century Greek scholar. - Handwritten ownership of the Venice senator and collector Giacomo Soranzo (1686-1761), dated 1736, to second flyleaf.

The first flyleaf bears a handwritten note of acquisition, dated December 1803, as well as another note in a different handwriting referencing reviews of other works by the editor Belli. - Lower portion of spine somewhat rubbed; covers slightly soiled. Title-page duststained, margins worn, rebacked with paper; upper margins of flyleaves and of 3 first leaves of text flawed, the latter rebacked with paper strips; paper occasionally browned and brownstained; gutter slighlty waterstained in places.
