Hebrew manuscript on paper 27.8 x 20.6 cm rebacked contemporary blind-tooled calf; 17 ll. last leaf blank.<br /> The Hosha'anot prayers are recited every day during the holiday of Sukkot as a reminder of the holiday ceremonies that were performed in the days of the Temple.

117084Schottland Gdansk district 1822. . 8vo; Hebrew manuscript on vellum in square Ashkenazi script; modern marbled half-calf spine with raised bands and blind-tooled ornaments; one half-page colour illustration; 10 ll pp.<br /> A unique Selichoth manuscript on vellum 'Belonging to the heroes of the Chevra Kadisha on the holy community of Schottland'. A rare relic from a 19th-century Jewish community in northern Poland.<br /><br />During the time when Jews were banned from settling in the city of Danzig Gdansk they lived in the small towns of Schottland Weinberg and Langfur which together formed the 'Shul' community an abbreviation of these towns' names in Hebrew. Two important figures served as Rabbis of this small community: Rabbi Meir Posner author of 'Beit Meir' a phenomenal Torah scholar who was in contact with Rabbi Akiva Eiger and the Chatam Sofer as well as Rabbi Elchanan Ashkenazi author of 'Sidrei Taharah' a student of Rabbi Ya'akov Popresh and Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Charif.<br /><br />The fasting day of K"A Kislev for which the Selichoth were written is not marked by the Ashkenazi Jewish communities of our times and very little is known about it. The little information in existence relates to the city of Prague where the Jews used to observe this day of fasting to commemorate the many Jews who were tragically killed in 1744 by the Austrians presumably around the time when Empress Maria Theresa signed an edict ordering the expulsion of all Jews. This might also explain the only colour illustration in the manuscript which depicts the tomb of the Maharal of Prague. It is presumed that this fasting day was also observed by other Jewish communities in Poland.<br /> Schottland (Gdansk district), 1822. hardcover

2916A lovely album containing 74 large original photographs from five trips. These are Berlin 1895 French Alps and Nancy in 1896 Trier in 1897 Interlaken and the Swiss Alps in 1898 and the Tirol in 1899. The photographs were purchased from prominent commercial photographers of the time. The French photographs are largely from ND Phot the Swiss from Schroeder & Cie of Zurich and Edition Photoglob. The majority of the prints are either albumen or early silver gelatin prints. As the early silver gelatin were so similar to albumen it is difficult to tell. There are a number of colourised prints. Most of the prints are quite large with quite a few as large as 210 mm x 275 mm. Most are printed one to a page but a couple of the smaller prints are printed two to a page. One of the images is a double / folding photograph. Album size 27cm x 36cm Un bel album contenant 74 grandes photographies originales de cinq voyages.

64242c.1880. . Albumen print. Very good tonal range and in good condition pasted on original mount. Dimensions: 135 x 230mm. 5.25 x 9 inches.<br /> A nineteenth-century albumen print of the statue of the Nile God discovered in 1513 in Campo Marzio and displayed thereafter in the Vatican Museums.<br /><br />The Nile is portrayed as a venerable old man reclining sinuously on his side with a cornucopia of fruit in his left arm and ears of wheat in his right hand. Egypt is represented by the presence of a sphinx on which the figure of the Nile supports himself and by some exotic animals. The scene is enlivened by sixteen children who allude to the sixteen cubits of water by which the Nile rises for its annual flood. The base of the statue is decorated with a Nile landscape incorporating familiar images of pygmies hippopotamuses and crocodiles seen throughout Romano-Egyptian art. The sculpture was probably inspired by a monumental statue of the Nile in black basalt a masterpiece of Hellenistic Greek sculpture described by Pliny the Elder as being within the Forum of Peace.<br /> [c.1880]. unknown
