1866h42004Leipzig: Carl B. Lorck 1866. Hardcover. Good. Cloth backed boards good with some rubbing and wear to boards light wear to cloth contents very good and clean light tanning. 463 pp. The author was a medieval French Jewish philosopher Talmudist mathematician physician and astronomer/astrologer. His most important treatise that by which he has a place in the history of philosophy is entitled Sefer Milhamot Ha-Shem "The Wars of the Lord" and occupied twelve years in composition 1317–1329. A portion of it containing an elaborate survey of astronomy as known to the Arabs was translated into Latin in 1342 at the request of Pope Clement VI. The Wars of the Lord is modeled after the plan of the great work of Jewish philosophy the Guide for the Perplexed of Maimonides. It may be regarded as a criticism of some elements of Maimonides' syncretism of Aristotelianism and rabbinic Jewish thought. Text IN HEBREW. Carl B. Lorck hardcover

Half dark orange cloth and marbled boards probably early 20th century very good pages tanning. 270 99 1 pp. the second part with questions and answers. Book of Jewish legal deeds and contracts and law first publishedin Amsterdam in 1667. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia "in 1660 he was rabbi of Bamberg with his residence at Zeckendorf. His stay here was of short duration for he made many enemies through his violent temper and the self-assertion which he displayed in his new office; and it was in vain that his relative and subsequent successor warned him that he would endanger his position if he did not heed the views of the German scholars." Sometime around 1665 he resigned the rabbinate and had the time to compose this book. "Samuel's chief work to which he owes his general popularity appeared in Amsterdam 1667-68 under the title "Na alat Shib'ah" being a collection of formulas for all documents and records interspersed with thorough discussions of questions of civil and matrimonial laws in connection therewith. A second edition of this work with much supplementary matter appeared Frankfort-on-the-Main 1681 shortly before his death under the title "Mahadura Batra le-Sefer Na alat Shib'ah." After his decease the responsa written by him or addressed to him by others were published by his son Abraham. S. Orgelbrand Sons hardcover
