43956Amsterdam: David Fereira y Mosseh Moreno Henriques/ David de Crasto Tartaz David de Castro Tartas 5423. Hardcover. g- to g. Duodecimo. 6.5x4.5". 479pp. Original brown calf boards with gilt-stamped motifs and raised bands on the spine. Blue ribbon marker. Edges of the book block in red. Marbled endpapers. The title page is illustrated with copper plate engravings in the form of small vignettes of biblical scenes surrounding the text. This is an early Spanish-language edition of the complete Jewish High Holiday prayer book Machzor based on the original translation by Abraham Usque originally printed in Ferarra Italy in 1553. This edition contains some added material not previously present including most prominently Solomon ibn Gabirol's famed philosophical poem "Keter Malkhut" Royal Crown which over the years has come to be read as part of the Yom Kippur service in some Jewish traditions. <br /> <br /> This edition of the Machzor was published by David Fereira and Mosseh Moreno Henriques to serve members of the then sizable Sephardic Jewish community in Amsterdam. A significant portion of the community would have been ex-Marranos Jews who had outwardly converted to Catholicism during the inquisition in Spain who then immigrated and were able to reestablished their Jewish identity and thus were unable to read Hebrew hence the text's publication in Spanish. As stated in the foreword this edition includes some additions to the text not included in previous versions and omits some material deemed to have been unnecessary. The prayer book starts with the penitential prayers Selichot p.3-47 which includes decorative head and endpeices. This section is followed by the Rosh Hashanah service p.48-195 and then the Yom Kippur service including "Keter Malkhut" p.254-289. The title page is illustrated with scenes from the biblical stories of King David Saul and Goliath and contain small captions underneath with corresponding biblical passages in Spanish. <br /> <br /> There are a number of pagination printing errors including: p.45-46 are misprinted as 54 and 36 p.264 is misprinted as 164. p.450 is misprinted as 350 p.414 is misprinted as 144. Like in the case of the earlier 1652 edition of the work pages 305-352 are misprinted as "321-368" but in this copy the leaf containing p. 353-354 directly following "368" seems to be missing. Overall this edition follows very closely the 1652 edition of the same work in terms of pagination content and organization. Includes large initials throughout the text. All text in Spanish. <br /> <br /> Binding with rubbing scratches and abrasions to the covers spine and extremities. Some chipping to the head and tail of the spine. Interior front covers with some starting and the loosening of the endpapers. Title page with starting light creases stains and and light chipping on the top left corner resulting in slight loss of image. Some light water staining along the top edge of the pages with some other sporadic light staining throughout. Page 365 torn along the side edge with no loss of text. Starting at a number of pages throughout the book. Binding in good- interior in good condition overall. Binding protected with modern mylar. David ben Abraham de Castro 1630-1698 was a French-born Portuguese Jewish printer/publisher in Amsterdam. Between 1662 and 1701 his press printed the "Gazeta de Amsterdam" a newspaper for the exiled Sephardic Jewish community in Amsterdam. He started his printing career as a typesetter at the printing house of Menasseh Ben Israel a printer and leading Rabbi in community who printed the earliest Amsterdam edition of this work in 1630. Castro started his own business in 1662 making this edition among his earliest publications. <br /> <br /> References: RODRIGUEZ 1781 p. 643 KAYSERLING 1890 p. 62 PALAU1923 202416 PEETERS1933 1038.

"Nyeste Skilderie af Kjøbenhavn" grundlages i 1803 af Johan Werfel og eksisterede til 1837. Johan Werfel døbte bladet Nyeste Skilderie af Kjøbenhavn til minde om sin ven samfundsrevseren Niels Ditlev Riegels som var død året før. Riegels havde 1786-1790 udgivet det samfundskritiske blad Månedsskriftet Kjøbenhavns Skilderie men efter Trykkefrihedsforordningen af 1799 var grænserne for hvad man kunne skrive væsentligt indskrænkede. Werfel forsøgte i nogle numre af sit blad at mindes Riegels ved at udgive nogle af hans efterladte skrifter men måtte efter nogle numre stoppe forsøget. Boghandleren og forlæggeren Salomon Soldin blev snart ansat som redaktør og efter at Werfel i 1808 forsvandt og foregav at være død for at undgå sine kreditorer overtog Soldin også udgivelsen af bladet.I de første årgange var bladet et lille ugeblad der udkom i kvartformat men det udvidedes snart så bladet i format og udgivelse kunne konkurrere med tidens andre populære blade såsom Berlingske Tidende og Adresseavisen.Soldin skrev selv en stor del af indholdet i bladet men også flere af tidens betydelige personligheder som Rasmus Nyerup Knud Lyne Rahbek Christian Molbech og Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig bidrog ofte med indlæg.Nyeste Skilderie af Kjøbenhavn var et særligt københavnsk blad og det læstes fortrinsvis af de dannede borgere. Det var desuden i sin levetid et af de væsentligste blade hvor bl.a. mange af de vigtigste litterære fejder stod.Allerede i 1825 afhændede Soldin redaktionen af bladet til Frederik Thaarup. Omgangskredsen frygtede for bladets skæbne og selv sagde Soldin at han ved overgivelsen til Thaarup havde sørget for at de fik "kristelig Begravelse". Det var dog ikke Thaarup der lagde det i graven for efter 6 år på posten overlodes det til Hans Christian Wosemose Claudius Rosenhoff og J. H. Stabell som omdøbte det til Allernyeste Skilderie. Det levede endnu 6 år men i 1837 samme år som Soldin døde gik bladet endeligt ind. - Bibl. Danica IV: 614. </em> unknown

55047Moscow: Gosudarstvennoe izdatel'stvo 1929. Octavo 19.8 × 13.5 cm. Original decorative wrappers; 106 pp. with four sections of different width forming a tabbed structure. Signed and inscribed by Aleksandra Miroliubova to Galina Chichagova on title. Light soil to wrappers; wrapper corners scuffed; still about very good. A Constructivist time capsule this catalog of fiction and memoir publications compiled by Gosizdat the Soviet State Publisher with original typographic design by the graphic artist Solomon Telingater 1903-1969 is inscribed by fellow Constructivist artist Aleksandra Miroliubova: "To the famous Constructivist Galina Dmitrievna Chichagova as a sign of great and everlasting friendship from your best friend. 1917-1963". The tabbed sections of the catalog are reminiscent of Telingater and El Lissitzky's collaborative projects such as the 1927 exhibition catalog on typography "All-Union Printing Trades Exhibition: Guidebook". As Rowell and Wye write: "Despite the content that was far from seductive these volumes show a remarkable graphic invention sometimes imaginatively inspired by this very content and designed for popular appeal" See: MoMA: The Russian Avant-Garde Book 1910-1934 p. 222. Born in Tiflis Georgia Telingater studied at VKhUTEMAS in 1920-1921 often dubbed the Bauhaus of the Soviet Union for its experimental edge. In addition to working on books and catalogs such as this one Telingater did layout design for the Constructivist architecture periodical "CA" Contemporary Architecture as well as architectural periodicals "SSSR na stroike" USSR in Construction and "Stroitel'stvo Moskvy" Construction of Moscow.<br /> <br /> The author of the inscription Aleksandra Miroliubova 1898-1987 and the addressee Galina Chichagova 1891-1967 also studied at VKhUTEMAS with artists such as Aleksandr Rodchenko and Liubov Popova. Galina Chichagova and her sister Olga Chichagova were part of the first working group of Constructivists headed by Rodchenko and would go on to incorporate Constructivist design into Soviet children's books. They also famously experimented with typography turning letters into design elements with the present volume by Telingater engaging in similar graphic play. <br /> <br /> This volume is no. 838 in Rowell/Wye The Russian Avant-Garde Book pictured on p. 230.<br /> <br /> As of March 2025 KVK OCLC show five copies worldwide of which two in North America. unknown
19560012056<p>Vedado Havana Cuba: Rabbi Frederick K. Solomon of Temple Beth Israel Havana Cuba. Good with no dust jacket. 1956. Non-Book. On offer is a spectacular relic of post WWII judaica being a 16-page sermon titled The Will to Be a Jew handwritten and edited by progressive rabbi Dr. Frederick K. "Fritz" Solomon originally Solomonski 1899-1980 SEE BIO NOTES FOLLOWING LISTING. Rabbi Solomon delivered this lecture in 1956 while he was rabbi of the Temple Beth Israel synagogue in Vedado Havana Cuba. In this thoughtfully composed sermon Dr. Solomon argues that Reform Judaism should be accepted as a way forward for the next generation of Jews who view religion differently than the orthodox and older generations. However the sermon is also a meditation on Jewishness more broadly. Solomon opens the sermon by asking that listeners consider the gaps between opinion and fact and how muddled the concepts often become. He then begins to discuss Judaism throughout history. Next Solomon reflects on what it is to be a Jew whether being born to a Jewish mother makes a Jew the racial and political components of Jewishness the Nazis' view of Jews and more. An excerpt of his discussion about what a Jew is follows: "Another conception of a Jew is his membership to the Jewish race and his descent from Abraham as teh first Hebrew. This was a principle laid down by the theorists of the 19th century especially Arthur de Gobineau who maintained that the decline of western civilization was caused by the infiltration of Semites into Europe. It was as you remember the principle adopted by the Nazis who did not care for a person's religion at all and therefore established rule that a Jew is everyone who has at least one Jewish grandparent. This was certainly quite arbitrary as science tells us that even after many generations a pure specimen of the original race can re-appear" p. 6-7. On page 9 the Rabbi states that "a Jew is everyone who adopts the Jewish faith" and then discusses the essence of the Jewish faith being challenged by the wide spectrum of Jewish people. He argues that Reform or Liberal Jews are being driven out of religion and Judaism by "the religiosity of orthodox Judaism". He states: "I am convinced that most of the younger generation who come from orthodox homes join our liberal Synagogues because they realize the discrepancy between observances and religious reality" p. 10. He closes by reading from Micah 6: 6-8 then stating: "When all is said and done it is your heart that makes you a Jew. And nobody can judge whether you are a good Jew but yourself" p. 13-13a. This sermon is a phenomenal piece of judaica that would enhance any collection. Its meditation on what it means to be Jewish is one that many Jews grapple with now as they have throughout history. Solomon's progressive take on Judaism feels ahead of its time and this sermon would make an excellent addition to a religious studies program or a progressive organization. BIO NOTES: Frederick Solomon 1899-1980 painter and Rabbi was born in Berlin Germany in 1899. In 1938 when the synagogue he was serving at was torched by Nazis and he was subsequently summoned by the Gestapo he left Germany with his wife Margot and emigrated to England. Solomonski was interned in the Isle of Man in Hutchinson Square camp in the early 1940s as a prisoner of war along with many other artists. While still in Europe Solomon had studied art under the German-Jewish artists Max Liebermann Martin Brandenburg and Eugene Spiro and German expressionist Willy Jaeckel. In England he continued his artistic career exhibiting his religious and expressionistic work at various galleries throughout the country including the Royal Academy and the Kensington Art Gallery in London where he had a one-man show. His work is in the permanent collections of the Courtauld Institute the Bazalel Museum in Jerusalem and the Ben Uri Art Gallery St. John's Wood London now incorporating the London Jewish Museum of Art. In 1954 he left England to take a position as Rabbi for Temple Beth Ha Shalom in Williamsport PA. After three years in Pennsylvania he sought another position and as a member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis was appointed rabbi at Temple Beth Israel in the Vedado suburb of Havana where he wrote sermons and hosted religious services for his congregation a part of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Solomon was also active in the Jewish Progressive movement frequently communicating with representatives of The World Union for Progressive Judaism throughout the 1950s in an attempt to officially associate his congregation with the organization Bio Note Credit to East Coast Books. The sermon pages measure 8x10 inches and there are a total of 16 pages of writing. Solomon has numbered his work pages one through 13 with three additional pages tipped in throughout the sermon as addendums. The sermon is unbound. The pages are all intact with some minor bends and tears that do not interfere with the readability of the document. The sermon is written in blue pen with the Rabbi's changes written in red pen and pencil. The writing is legible though in a somewhat tricky cursive hand.

165149175Amsterdam: Pieter Niellius 1651. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Small quarto. aster.-2aster.4 A-3M4 = 240 leaves. 16 464pp. Contemporary Dutch vellum very slightly bowed panelled in blind with central stamped vignette spine with raised bands and elegant calligraphic title. Title vignette depicting the arms of Amsterdam. A few old marginal annotations. Various old library stamps at title and bottom margins of two text leaves that on the final leaf bleeds through to text on recto. A very good copy text clean and fresh throughout attractively bound.<br /> <br /> First Latin edition of this late medieval chronicle of Jewish history "one of the outstanding achievements of Hebrew literature in the Renaissance" Enc. Jud. reprinted in 1680 under the Hebrew title Shevet Yehudah The Tribe of Judah. First published in Hebrew at Adrianople in 1554 it was followed by various Hebrew or Yiddish Judaeo-German editions prior to Gentius' version; a Spanish version appeared at Amsterdam in 1640.<br /> <br /> During the 1520s Solomon ibn Verga 1460-1554 wrote his Shevet Yehudah The Tribe of Judah a compilation of accounts of the persecutions undergone by Jews from the destruction of the Second Temple until his own day. At times the author intersperses the historical account with disputations and deliberations of which some are authentic and others imaginary. The author drew his historical material from Josippon the Sefer ha-Kabbalah of Abraham ibn Daud from the narrative of Nathan ha-Babli and from Maimonides’ letters including Iggeret Teiman. He also utilized a brief Hebrew chronicle dealing with the general expulsions and religious persecutions probably that of Profiat Duran and consulted the writings Isaac Abrabanel. For his own period he mentions some of the events which he heard of or witnessed and for which he is sometimes the only source. The work has special importance in the annals of Jewish historical thought. The thoughts and reflections which the author interweaves in his imaginary discussions that is in the literary and not the historical section of the work reflect his dissatisfaction with the traditional outlook and opinions of the Middle Ages.<br /> <br /> The Orientalist and diplomat Georg Gentius 1618-1687 was born in Dhame Saxony and came to study with Heinsius De Dieu Golius and L'Empereur in Leiden as well as the rabbis of Amsterdam. Among the latter Menasseh ben Israel respected Gentius for the courtesy he displayed in his scholarly and personal dealings with the Jews and asked him to complete a Latin translation of the Shevet Yehudah which he himself had begun. With this publication dedicated to the Hamburg consuls Gentius created a larger public for one of the most fascinating historical works of the Hebrew Renaissance and heralded a new era in Jewish history by its critical and empirical approach to the phenomena of history.<br /> <br /> Provenance: old entry of “Nicol.

A young mother plainly dressed in a black coat bonnet and shawl clutches the hand of her young son who is evidently on his way to Portsmouth to join the service of the East India Company a recruiting poster is pasted to the wall above his head. His tearful sister sits on the bench opposite next to her brother's baggage a sailor is traveling with his wife in the background numerous posters advertising ship passages to Australia and India and other advertisements are stuck to the walls and ships in the harbour are visible through the carriage window. In the second picture the young man now considerably older has returned to England evidently having made his fortune. He sits in backview in a comfortably upholstered first class carriage wearing smart military uniform chatting to an elderly well dressed fellow passenger while exchanging glances with the old man's pretty fashionably dressed young daughter who sits demurely crocheting in a corner of the carriage.
