Rare monograph on Abraham ben Abraham (1700-1749), also known as Count Valentine Potocki (Valentin Pototzki; Walentyn Pototski) - a purported Polish nobleman of the Potocki family who converted to Judaism and was burned at the stake by the Roman Catholic Church because he had renounced Catholicism and had become an observant Jew. According to Jewish oral traditions, he was known to the revered Talmudic sage, the Vilna Gaon (Rabbi Elijah Ben Shlomo Zalman (1720-1797), and his ashes were interred in the relocated grave of the Vilna Gaon in Vilna's new Jewish cemetery. The author - Abraham Karpinowitz (1913-2004) was born in Vilna, Poland (present-day Vilnius, Lithuania), the city that serves as both the backdrop and the central character for his stories.

A very good copy of this great classic (First Edition - 1801).

It answers questions such as "How do you score a joust?," (p. 125) "When did feral wolves become extinct in Britain?," (p. 12) and "How much do you pay the piper?" (p. 164) And what is Shakespeare talking about when he mentions Shove-Groat (p. 242) or Nine Men's Morris (p. 256)? (The modern equivalents are shuffleboard and tic-tac-toe). Included are numerous quotes from original documents and dozens of plates based on period illustrations.

ill., br. Le leggende, i misteri, le curiosità, gli intrighi e le passioni della Serenissima raccontate attraverso una rapida "sbirciata" oltre le finestre dei palazzi sul Canal Grande, i più prestigiosi e importanti della città. Nelle loro stanze si è snodata, nei secoli, la storia millenaria della Repubblica di Venezia. Dalle loro finestre si sono affacciate le cortigiane più belle, i poeti più acclamati, gli ospiti più prestigiosi, i governanti più scaltri e accorti, che hanno reso leggendaria la città lagunare. È infatti percorrendo letterariamente le rive della "strada più bella del mondo", così come la definì l'ambasciatore di Francia Philippe de Commynes oltre cinque secoli fa, in un doppio viaggio De Citra e De Ultra, ovvero su un lato o sull'altro della città, che è possibile rivivere la storia della Serenissima e conoscere un po' di più Venezia, la sua storia straordinaria e la civiltà che prese piede tra le isole della laguna.
