This copy SIGNED TWICE as usual on limitation and additionally not in all copies on frontispiece lithograph. Minor spotting and soiling to beige boards otherwise a HANDSOME AND FINE COPY and internally clean. This book is a wonderful combination of two Jews one who brought to France German literary tendencies and the other who brought to the Germans French artistic tendencies. Heinrich Heine has been called 'the first modern intellectual' and became one of the greatest and most respected writers of the 19th century. Leibermann was the Great German artist that led the Berlin secession group and introduced French impressionism to Germany. This fine press book a magnificent combination of typography design and illustration is often lauded as among the most beautiful of Jewish fine press books if not all fine press books. Liebermann demonstrates a refined sensitivity in his artwork that parallels the emotive text. The Rabbi of Bacherach includes a lovely and romantic description of a Passover- the earliest and most expressive of the essence of the festival in modern Jewish literature. The story here recounts that in trans. and referring to the Haggadah " It was an old heirloom with ancient wine stains. It had come down from the days of her grandfather. The book contained many boldly and brightly colored pictures. As a little girl she had often looked at it so eagerly on Passover evenings." ; German Language; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; JUDAISM HEBREW LANGUAGE Jewish Literature Kabbalah Judaica Jewish Studies Hebrew Talmud ; Signed by Illustrator .

19210053731921. Hardcover. Very Good. Exquisite and delightful manuscript account of a happy and prosperous marriage made as a commemoration on its Silver Anniversary which occurred in 1921. Folio. 38 by 27.5 cm. 10 leaves on card stock with original watercolored artwork on each page. Blue felt bevelled binding with stalks of tall grass painted in silver on the cover. The grass design repeats on the title page with the addition of cherubs and a highly ornamental painted placard bearing the title -- this placard is suspended from a stalk and held by one of the cherubs. The account begins with a young man Vienna leaving his love behind as he travels to Lyon. We are told how he misses his beloved and so follows their wedding in 1896. A stock market crash then leaves the desperate groom concerned about their future. The young family return to Vienna where he becomes a workaholic as his wife tends to the home filling it with bric-a-brac that speaks to their material well being. Finally there comes the anniversary celebration and the happiness from seeing their children grown and settled. This brief account doesn't do justice to the verse or paintings. The account is really just a few snapshots of their lives using words and pictures which work together to bring a dream-like glow to the reminiscences. Each page is framed by a decorative band of primarily blue set off by a floral festoon within it. Most pages have two illustrations with the verse written by a calligraphic hand. The illustrations are filled with a vigor and energy -- they almost seem to float above or hover over the page. We would guess that the anniversary couple's surname was Labin based on a door sign in the office scene and the company the husband worked for was named Abadie which may have been based in Paris. Beyond that we can not speak more specifically about the parties. Condition: the felt is rubbed and slightly sunned on front. The silver design is somewhat faded. Soiling along the bevelled edge. The contents are clean and bright. <br /><br /> hardcover books

19310037321Paris: S. & C. aux Depens des Bibliophiles Souscripteurs 1931-36. First Thus. Hardcover Hardcover. Near Fine Condition. 27cm x 21cm. xvi 218; viii 219-401; iv 402-498 2; 4 pages 16 plates 3 volumes bound in 1 with the suite of plates. Half leather gilt lettering top edge gilt marbled endpapers. Original printed wrappers bound in. Typescript index of plate locations bound in at rear. Text is in French. The first critical edition of the text and the first established directly from the autograph manuscript written by Donatien Alphonse François Marquis de Sade in the Bastille in 1785. The manuscript composed in minute script on a continuous paper roll was long presumed lost following the storming of the Bastille before resurfacing in the late nineteenth century and coming into the hands of the Berlin physician and pioneering sexologist Iwan Bloch whose foundational but flawed 1904 edition first brought the text into print. Following Bloch's death the manuscript entered French ownership often associated with the patronage circle of Charles de Noailles and Marie-Laure de Noailles a descendant of Sade enabling the Sade specialist Maurice Heine to prepare the present edition under their support. Working directly from the autograph roll Heine produced a transcription of far greater fidelity than Bloch's accompanied by a substantial critical apparatus keyed to the original manuscript and including a photographic facsimile as frontispiece. Heine's engagement with Sade was both scholarly and personal: he first encountered the work through Bloch's edition in 1912 later recalling most notably in the 1933 'Minotaure enquete' organised by Andre Breton and Paul Eluard that discovery as decisive. Pascal Pia would subsequently credit Heine with establishing the modern text of Sade. Issued in a limited edition of 396 numbered copies this example is one of 300 on velin de Rives. It is here bound with the complete suite of sixteen lithographs by Andre Collot separately issued in a limited edition c. 1936 and intended for addition to subscribers' sets and unsold copies. Text is in French. Minor wear and discolouration to binding. Minor foxing to front flyleaves of part 3.

19231344Heine Heinrich. 1799-1856. <b>Der Rabbi von Bacherach</b> mit Originallithographien von Max Liebermann. Berlin: Im Prophlaen Verlag 1923. #279 of 400 with signed frontispiece and limitation page by Liebermann and 17 full or partial page lithographs in black. The first 100 were printed on Japan Vellum. <br /><br />Folio. Publisher's half-morocco with title in gold with yellow board sides bearing a lithograph on the upper cover. Printed on laid paper. Original open slipcase with paper label joints split. 58p. Fine copy with a touch of wear to spine ends. <b>The Rabbi of Bacharach</b> set in the middle ages is Heine's unfinished novel that describes the ordeal of Rabbi Abraham and his wife in the small town of Bacharach Germany . <br /><br />Gentiles come to the Passover Seder in order to secretly plant a body of a Christian child. They will accuse the Rabbi of ritual murder. Then when he is taken away they will rob his home. The rabbi and his "schönne" beautiful Sarah manage to leave their home during an interval in the seder and run to the river docks. They are then transported for a fee down the Mainz to Frankfurt where they enter into the Jewish quarter without incident. In that quarter life is fully described with all its variety and color. <br /><br /> This unfinished story remains popular because it pictures life in the medieval Jewish community with detailed description of worship customs and pecking orders as well as dress manners and a variety of activities within the Jewish quarter. Liebermann's realistic sketchbook style depicts scenes with a charcoal drawing like simplicity. The stark flat depiction creates an atmosphere of dark foreboding. <br /><br />The 19th century poet Emma Lazarus wrote a biographical sketch of Heine that includes commentary on The Rabbi of Bacharach: "During the period of his earnest labors for Judaism Heine had buried himself with fervid zeal in the lore of his race and had conceived the idea of a prose-legend the Rabbi of Bacharach illustrating the persecutions of his people during the middle ages. Heine one of the most subjective of poets treats this theme in a purely objective manner. He does not allow himself a word of comment much less of condemnation concerning the outrages he depicts. He paints the scene as an artist not as the passionate fellow-sufferer and avenger that he is. But what subtle eloquence lurks in that restrained cry of horror and indignation which never breaks forth and yet which we feel through every line gathering itself up like thunder on the horizon for a terrific outbreak at the end!" <br /><br />Refer: Lazarus Emma 1849-1887 From the Biographical Sketch of the life of Heinrich Heine reprinted in The Rabbi of Bacharach by Heinrich Heine.
