1st edition. Later cloth, 12mo, 307, 55. In English, Hebrew and German. Singerman 1949, Goldman 53. The original two volumes of the Minhag America prayer book had both been published in 1857, one with Hebrew-English text (Prayer Book for Public and Private Worship) and the other with Hebrew-German text (Gebet-Buch fur den offentlichen Gottesdienst und die Privat-Andacht). In the 1860s, he took the project up again, issuing a three volume series of his Minhag Amerikathe American Traditionwith the present volume for Yom Kipur (The Day of Atonement), as well as a volume for Rosh HaShanah (the Jewish New year) and a combined Jewish Hymnal and Psalter, all shaped by his view of Reform Judaism in America. This volume thus represents one of the first Reform prayer books for the High Holidays in the United States. Some of the prayers are translated both into English and German. Wise, was a pioneer of Reform Judaism in America and became its acknowledged leader and its institutional architect, organizing the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (1873) , the Hebrew Union College (1875) , and the Central Conference of American Rabbis (1889) . The reforms that he instituted sought to change or adapt Judaism to 19th century America. He was also an organizer and mover in the establishment of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, in 1889. Elected its president, he served until he died. Wise believed in uniting American Jewry and hoped to publish a new American reform prayer book titled "Minhag America. The Machzor presented here is part of this project. (See: Goldman 44).

In-12, plein veau marbré d'époque, dos orné de fleurons, (21) f., 458 p., (25) f. de table, 3 portraits gravés sur bois. L'une des sources principales, en français, sur le concile de Trente dans la traduction de l'abbé Martial Chanut, aumônier d'Anne d'Autriche. 3 portraits gravés sur bois: Paul III, Jules III, et Pie IV. Cette traduction française reste la référence des actes du Concile, rapidement reconnu comme tel: "traduction estimée parce que la pureté de la langue à laquelle Martial Chanut s'est attaché ne l'a point fait éloigner des règles d'une exacte traduction" (A. Baillet, 'Jugemens des Savans', 1722, III, p. 175). Convoqué par le pape Paul III le 22 mai 1542, en réponse aux demandes formulées par Luther et Calvin dans le cadre de la réforme protestante, le concile de Trente débuta le 13 décembre 1545 pour s'achever le 4 décembre 1563. Il est l'un des conciles les plus importants de l'histoire du catholicisme.
FT) Clothbound. 8vo. XX, 208 pages. 21 cm. First edition. In German. Three volumes in one. Half leather and cloth with gilt lettering on spine. Title translates as: Words of God, or liturgical presentation; Sermons and lectures in the synagogue at Frankfort-on-the-Oder. Samuel Holdheim (1806-1860) , a renowned extreme reform Rabbi, starting his Rabbinical career in 1936 at the synagogue at Frankfort-on-the-Oder, where these sermons were conducted. The Jewish Encylopedia relates his career and ideas during this period of writing thus: Here he remained until 1840, encountering many difficulties, due both to the distrust of those within the congregation who suspected the piety of a rabbi able to speak grammatical German, and who was a graduate of a German university, and to the peculiar legislation which in Prussia under Frederick William III. Regulated the status of the Jewish congregations. To bring about a change in this state of affairs was the purpose of Holdheim. In the preface to his "Gottesdienstliche Vorträge" (Frankfort-on-the-Oder, 1839) he appealed both to the government to accord the modern rabbinate the dignity due to it, and to the congregations to cease regarding the rabbi as an expert in Jewish casuistics mainly charged with the duty of answering "she'elot" (ritual questions) and inquiries concerning dietary laws. He insisted upon the recognition of the rabbi as preacher and teacher, who at the same time gives attention to the practical requirements of his office as the expert in Talmudical law. While in Frankfort, Holdheim scrupulously decided every question according to the Halakah. In his pulpit discourses belonging to this period the intention is plain to steer clear of mere rationalistic moralizing, on the one hand, and dry legalizing and unscientific speculation (in the style of the old "derashah") , on the other. Holdheim thus deserves to be remembered as one of the pioneers in the field of modern Jewish Homiletics, who showed what use should be made of the Midrashim and other Jewish writings. He also repeatedly took pains to arouse his congregation to help carry out Geiger's and Philippson's project of founding a Jewish theological faculty. Judaism even then had ceased for Holdheim to be an end unto itself. He had begun to view it as a force in the larger life of humanity. Subjects: Jewish sermons, German. Jews -- Poland -- Slubice.

Prima edizione francese non comune di questa celebre polemica antipapale di Gregorio Leti nella quale si ridicolizza l’usanza papale del nepotismo. Figlio di un noble di origine bolognese e di una nobildonna milanese, Gregorio Leti nacque a Milano nel 1630. Dopo aver studiato presso i gesuiti, alla morte del padre, si trasferì a Roma nel 1644 da uno zio. Dopo vari sposatmenti che lo portarono anche a Orvieto nel 1655 seguì lo zio ad Acquapendente dove il parente era assunto a Vescovo. Nel 1660 lascia l’italia per Ginevra e in seguito al matrimonio con la figlia di un medico ginevrino si converte al calvinismo. Da questo momento in poi iniziano i suoi scritti polemici e satirici verso i papi. Il linguaggio e le immagini che Leti riproduceva nei suoi scritti erano assai licenziose tanto che fu costretto dalle autorità cittadine di Ginevra ad abbandonare la Svizzera. Raggiunse Colbert a Parigi e questi gli propose di ricoprire la carica di “Historico di Lingua Italiana” di Luigi XIV ma decise di rifiutare la proposta perchè non voleva riconvertirsi al cristianesimo. Passò quindi in Inghilterra, siamo nel 1680. Ma anche qui la sua verve polemica e difficile ai compromessi lo portò a scontrarsi con il mondo politico inglese e fu di nuovo costretto alla fuga che lo portò in Olanda. Qui stretta amicizia con Pierre Bayle rimase fino alla morte avvenuta ad Amsterdam nel 1701. Prima edizione francese in buone condizioni di conservazione. Due soli esemplari censiti in ICCU.

First edition. Contemporary boards. 8vo. 279 pages. 17cm. In Hebrew. Title translates to Kore Ha-Dorot: Remarks. Solomon Judah Löb HaKohen Rapoport (17861867) was a Galician rabbi and Jewish scholar. He was born in Lemberg, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. He married in 1810 Franziska Freide Heller, the daughter of the well-known Aryeh Leib Heller, and was instrumental in publishing the work Avnei Miluim of his father in law. He wrote both the index, sources and numerous comments. (Wikipedia, 2016) He wrote "Torah Or" against the radical views Geiger had expressed in his Urschrift, rebuked Jost for taking the same attitude in his Okaat Megullah (an open letter to the rabbis assembled at Frankfort-on-the-Main in 1845 ) and assumed a negative attitude toward the convention of German rabbis at Frankfort-on-the-Main in 1845 (JE, 1906) .

A l'occasion de la publication de l'ouvrage de Linguet qu'il réfute, Dusaulx intervient sur la question de l'emprisonnement, l'organisation des prisons (particulièrement la Bastille) et la justice pénale dans ses rapports avec les institutions politiques.

In-8, cartonnage bleu à la Bradel, dos orné de doubles filets dorés (reliure Laurenchet), 107 p. Edition originale. Ces "Considérations sur le Tiers-Etat" parurent avant l'œuvre célèbre de Sieyès qui s'y réfère (janvier 1789). Plus social, Rabaut traite des questions politiques et économiques. "Il réclame la liberté du commerce, la diminution et la simplification des impôts, la suppression de la réglementation industrielle et des barrières provinciales" (INED, 3694). Mais aussi, il est le premier à y développer la notion de "régénération" qui rencontra, dans la Révolution, le succès que l'on sait. (Goldsmiths'-Kress library, n°13742). Quelques pet. auréoles claires et petites réparation. Exemplaire bien relié.
In-8, broché, couverture papier moderne, 51 p. Edition originale. "L'auteur a été identifié par D. Robert comme étant Liquois de Beaufort, protestant et ex-constitutionnel de Montreuil-sur-Mer. Personnage toutefois assez énigmatique pour que certains aient prétendu que la main de Napoléon se cachait derrière de celle Beaufort. Si le personnage importe peu, il n'en est pas de même de [ce] Projet appelé à un grand retentissement, dès sa parution en 1806" (cf. B. Plongeron, 'Les projets de réunion des communions chrétiennes, du Directoire à l'Empire'. In: "Revue d'histoire de l'Église de France", T.66, n°176, 1980. p. 17-49). L'auteur préconise une "fusion des Églises (…) rempart nécessaire pour maintenir la force et la perpétuité d'un gouvernement et assurer la prospérité de l'Empire; du sein de la réunion naîtra naturellement une religion nationale, qui seule peut produire des vertus et des moeurs nationales" (p. 239). Mais il ne saurait être question de prendre pour centre de ralliement l'Église catholique, hérissée qu'elle est de "vérités dogmatiques". Rare et important.
In-8, broché, couverture imprimée (accrocs au dos), (4), 135 p., tableaux statistiques, 2 grands plans pliés hors texte. Edition originale. Député de la Drôme en 1815 et de 1828 à 1839, membre de l'Académie des sciences morales et politiques, Bérenger de la Drôme devint l'un des principaux spécialistes des questions pénales et carcérales et l'un des pionniers de la réforme pénitentiaire en France. Dans cet ouvrage, l’auteur soumet son projet de réforme du système carcéral, fondé sur la réinsertion sociale et la diminution du nombre de récidives. Tableaux statistiques et 2 grands plans pliés de "maison pénitentiaire départementale". (Coquelin & Guillaumin, I, 697). Couverture passée, rousseurs. Exemplaire non rogné.
In-8, plein veau havane raciné de l'époque, dos lisse orné d'un riche décor Empire de compartiments ornés d'une résille, palettes et fer spécial répété, pièce de titre de veau, filets d'encadrement à froid sur les plats (un mors lég. fendu), (4), vj, 616 p. Edition originale. Le premier ouvrage d'importance de Bérenger de la Drôme, critique approfondie de la procédure et des institutions pénales françaises. L'auteur s'élève contre la multiplication des lois et des juridictions d'exception sous la Restauration et dénonce une justice pénale partiale et totalement inadaptée à l'évolution de la société et des moeurs. Cette étude pionnière jeta les bases de la loi du 28 avril 1832 qui procédait à une importante révision libérale de la "pénalité". Pair de France sous la Monarchie de juillet, Bérenger de la Drôme est avec Charles Lucas, l'un des introducteurs de la "science pénitentiaire" en France. (Dupin, n°1578). Bon exemplaire.
