"LANDMARK PUBLICATION" OF FLUXUS - ARTIST'S BOOK. Ben Dieu - Art total sa revue Ben God - Art total its journal. Anthology of collages editions texts and multiples from the years 1962-1963

54842Nice: Centre d'Art Total 1963. Quarto 31.4 × 22.5 cm. Original printed wrappers consisting of two sections; 52 individual leaves with collages multiples hectographs on different types of paper. Due to age and material some glue is partially loose; else very good or perfectly preserved. First edition of the exceptionally uncommon artist's book the second edition of which is also very rare. Because of its rarity it is not listed in Jon Hendrick's "Fluxus Codex" but is mentioned in the foreword as a "landmark publication" of the Fluxus movement p. 22. With "Ben Dieu" Vautier documents his early Fluxus works on paper. He first met his Fluxus mentor George Maciunas in 1962 in London at the "Misfits Fair" organized by Daniel Spoerri. Vautier took part in the event as did Robert Filliou for example. Maciunas was passing through and a conversation ensued between the two which ultimately led Vautier to start Fluxus in Nice under the label "Total Art". Cf. Ben Vautier in: 1962 Wiesbaden Fluxus 1982 Wiesbaden Kassel Berlin 1983 p. 148ff. A lively exchange and close collaboration developed between the two. The catalog of the Sohm Archive states that Vautier was the only artist among all Europeans whom Maciunas liked to supervise extensively in the production of his artist's books. Thomas Klein "Fröhliche Wissenschaft". Das Archiv Sohm Stuttgart 1986 p 99. Vautier seems not only to have sent the artist's books individually to colleagues friends collectors and critics but also compiled them individually. Thus the copies known to us repeatedly reveal differences.

Seder Haggadah Shel Pesah ke-Minhag Ashkenaz u-Sefarad Passover Haggadah According to the Ashkenazi and Sephardi Traditions THE AMSTERDAM HAGGADAH

169555262Amsterdam: Be-veit ha-meshutafim Asher Anshil ben Eliezer ve-Yisakhar Ber ben Avraham Eliezer/ Moses Wiesel 1695. First edition. Hardcover. fair. Small folio 29 by 18.5 cm. Collation: aleph-vav4 zayin2 = 26 numbered leaves. Additional engraved title page engraved folding map at rear; main title with woodcut vignette; 14 half-page engraved illustrations in the text. Contemporary quarter calf over dark brown pastepaper boards skilfully rebacked. Images of Moses and Aaron at engraved title excised the seven small engraved vignettes along with letterpress text of engraved title and imprint mounted on old paper. Old marginal repairs at main title resulting in slight loss of initial letters along right margin and several leaves; slight strictly marginal worming and occasional tears. Stained throughout sometimes heavily though not impairing legibility. Map mounted to reinforce tears with virtually no loss of text or engraved imagery apart from printed border at right side. A fair copy at best; despite all defects the half-page engraved illustrations have survived intact with minimal staining. Housed in new maroon buckram slipcase. First edition of this gorgeously illustrated work now referred to simply as the Amsterdam Haggadah. The first such work to be illustrated with copperplate engravings it ranks among the most imitated of the Jewish manuals for the Passover seder. The popularity of these illustrations can be attested by the huge number of reprint editions over the centuries. Fourteen finely printed half-page engravings appear throughout the text. Some of these images illustrate the traditional content of the Passover seder or the Exodus story while others reference other biblical tales. Images include: the Rabbis of Bene Brak discussing the Passover story the four sons Abraham smashing the idols of his father Abraham welcoming the three angels Moses slaying the Egyptian overseer the rescuing Moses from the river Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh w/ staves turning to snakes the ten plagues the Egyptian army drowning in the Red Sea the Exodus the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai the eating of the Pascal Lamb King David composing his psalms and finally an exterior view of the Jewish Temple with the cityscape of Jerusalem in the background. All images are captioned with relevant passages in Hebrew. The engravings were all created by Abraham ben Jacob a German convert to Judaism who had moved to Amsterdam although some sources over the years misattributed them to financier Moses Wiesel 6 of which were adaptations and/or modifications of previous images by Swiss artist MatthÃ¤us Merian 1593-1650 from his original work "Icones Biblicae" 1625-30. In addition to the in text engravings there is famously fold-out engraved biblical map of the Holy Land in a notable format. Measuring a total of 19.5 by 11.5" the map shows the land of Israel the Wilderness of Sinai and Egypt in landscape orientation looking eastward towards the top of the map. It traces the journey of the Israelites starting with the Exodus from Egypt through the Sinai and into the Land of Israel. The map is detailed showing the areas of the twelve tribes important locations and cities as well as geographic features including the Red Sea Mount Sinai the Dead Sea the Sea of Galilee and many others. Additional illustrations appear near the bottom along with a legend. This beautiful work also by Abraham ben Jacob is considered among the earliest if not the first map of its kind to be printed within a Hebrew publication. It is now known to have been heavily based on the previously printed 1620 map in Hebrew by Jacob ben Abraham Zaddiq and Abraham Goos 1590 - ca. 1643 which itself was based on the map of 1590 by Christian Kruik van Adrichom Adrichem printed in Latin. Text throughout is printed in Hebrew with smaller text in Rashi script underneath containing famous commentary on the Passover Haggadah by acclaimed Portuguese Rabbi and scholar Isaac ben Judah Abarbanel 1437-1508. The verso of the title page contains the order of the Passover seder with brief instructions in both Ladino Judeo-Spanish and Yiddish Judeo-German a nod to the subtitle which references both the Ashkenazi and Sephardi traditions. Provenance and annotations: Full page of text appx. 1500 words in neat Hebrew cursive at front endleaf which discusses aspects of the Haggadah text; inscription in German at front endleaf by Isidor Adler who mentions his friend Hermann Mechlenburg dated March 1906; old annotations throughout in at least two hands. In one notable instance the Hebrew phrase l'shana ha-ba'ah be-hamburg next year in Hamburg! has been added in fine block characters above the traditional phrase l'shana ha-ba'ah bi-yerushalayim next year in Jerusalem.

POMIS, David ben Isaac de (1524 - ca1594) a 1Biblio.com

De Medico Hebraeo Enarratio Apologica . .

43448Venice : Apud Ioannem Variscum Giovanni Varisco 1588. First and only edition. Octavo 190 x 140 mm modern brown cloth over boards; faint trace of stamp tp front free endpaper original first blank with early ownership signature to verso browned clipped at upper corner title-page with vignette woodcut printer's device and with coat of arms to verso; pp. 7 Dedication to Francesco Maria II della Rovere Duke of Urbino 1 foreword by Paulus Manutius 2 foreword by Judah Alchalay 4 index 1-127; decorative woodcut initials; sidenotes; first few leaves with a mild horizontal crease at centre some occasional and very light foxing otherwise clean and crisp throughout; a very good copy in a modern binding. David de' Pomis 1525-1593 was a physician philosopher and linguist born in Spoleto to a Jewish family of bankers. He commenced medical studies in Todi under two of his uncles both rabbis and continued them at Perugia where he received his doctorate in 1551. He was then for a brief period rabbi and physician at Magliano in Tuscany. However there followed a number of years of insecurity during which successive papal edicts withdrew and restored the right of Jewish physicians to attend Christians; de' Pomis found himself forced to keep moving from town to town in Italy finally settling in Venice in 1569. It was here that he published most of his works. His tract De Medico Hebraeo Enarratio Apologica Venice 1588 is a refutation of aspects of a bull of 1581 issued by Gregory XIII 1572-85 which brought various charges against Jews - and more specifically Jewish physicians. De' Pomis argues that in accordance with the teachings of the Bible as well as the Talmud a Jewish physician is morally obligated to attempt to alleviate the suffering of every patient. He also cites numerous cases in the historical record to illustrate the fact that Jewish doctors can and have distinguished themselves by their medical prowess and civic-mindedness. The last section comprises a selection of Talmudic rules translated into Latin presented as a form of collective argument to counter the charge that the Talmud is to be despised for its moral character. The writings of the learned De’ Pomis were wide-ranging. He is now perhaps best known for his trilingual Hebrew Latin and Italian dictionary the Ẓemaḥ David Venice 1587 which he dedicated to Pope Sixtus V - although this work is more than a straightforward dictionary since it also contains disquisitions on scientific and historical subjects. He also wrote a philosophical essay on human suffering Discorso intorno a l'humana miseria e sopra il modo di fuggirla Venice 1572 a treatise on the plague Venice 1577 and another on geriatric conditions Venice 1588.

Maimonides (Moses ben Maimon)Biblio.com

Tractatus Rabbi Moysi de regimine sanitatis ad Soldanum Regem A Treatise of Rabbi Moses Concerning a Regimen of Health for the Sultan

151831810Augsburg: S. Grimm and M. Wirsung 1518. Hardcover. Very good. Five parts small quarto 19.5 by 14 cm: a-d4 = 16 leaves. 32 pp. Text in Latin. Title within elaborate woodcut borders; woodcut initials. Modern marbled boards. Lightly toned with occasional faint smudges mostly marginal. Three discreet worm holes 1mm and less throughout sometimes obscuring a letter else a very good copy with crisp text. Early printing of the first Latin edition of Maimonides' Fi Tadbir al-Sihha On the Regimen of Health. Like his other medical and philosophical works it was composed in Arabic. The present translation however was likely based upon the 13th-century Hebrew version Sefer Hanhagat ha-Bri'ut attributed to Moses ibn Tibbon. The editio princeps first printed edition of this Latin version appeared at the monastic press of Sanctum Jacobum de Ripoli in Florence under the direction of Fra Domenico da Pistoia in an undated edition sometime between 1477 and 1481. In 1501 it appeared at Pavia as an appendix to a general treatise on the medical arts the Tabula Consiliorum of Giovanni Matteo Ferrari court physician to Francesco Sforza. The later editions of the Tabula which appeared at Venice in 1514 and again at Pavia in 1517 also include this Latin version of On the Regimen of Health. The present edition thus appears to be the first separate printing of this Latin translation to appear after the rare Florentine incunable. A philosopher physician rabbinic authority and codifier of Jewish law Maimonides Moses ben Maimon the Rambam; 1135 or 1138-1204 was the most illustrious Jewish scholar of the post-talmudic era. At the age of thirteen he and his family fled Cordoba to escape the Almohad persecutions and later settled in Fustat an ancient district of Cairo. "It was here that Maimonides started to practice and teach medicine. and became the physician of al-Qadi al-Fadil the famous counsellor and secretary to Saladin" Bos. On the Regimen of Health was composed at an unknown date for al-Malik al-Afdal Nur al-Din Ali ca.1169-1225 Saladin's eldest son. He was appointed by his father as governor of Damascus while still a youth and ascended to the throne as Sultan of the Ayyubid Empire in the winter of 1198/1199. Maimonides later served him in that capacity as court physician. In the Latin version of On the Regimen of Health al Malik al-Afdal is described as The Great Sultan of Babylon Magnifico Soldano Babylonie. In his preface Maimonides describes his work as divided into four tracts the first and last providing general medical advice suitable for all persons. The second treatise provides a regimen for the sick who are unable to consult a physician. The third is specifically intended for the Sultan who has informed Maimonides about his medical complaints -- constipation indigestion and depression -- through his emissary per suum nuncium significavit. There is a fifth part not mentioned in the preface which appears in the Florentine editio princeps as well in which Maimonides criticizes the treatment of the Sultan by other physicians. The "regimen of health" tadbir al-sihha genre has a long history in Islamic medical literature. Rooted in ancient Greek medical theory it was reinforced with the ritualistic hygiene of the Qur'an and the later Hadith traditions. "Maimonides teaches that physical convalescence is dependent on psychological well-being and rest. He stresses the necessity of hygienic conditions in the care of the body physical exercise and proper breathing work family sexual life and diet and suggests that music poetry paintings and walks in pleasant surroundings all have a part to play toward a happy person and the maintenance of good health" EJ. "On the Regimen of Health is frequently mentioned consulted and quoted in Hebrew literature; in the thirteenth century by Judah ben Samuel ibn Abbas and Shem Tov ibn Falaquera; in the fourteenth century by Israel ben Joseph Caslari Joseph ben Abba Mari ibn Kaspi Menahem ben Aaron ibn Zerah and Meir Aldabi. The physician Tobias ben Moses Cohn 1652-1729 quotes from Maimonides' On the Regimen of Health in his MaÊ¿aseh Tuviyyah which was 'the most influential Hebrew textbook of the sciences especially medicine'" Bos.

Published by Dr. Efraim Bueno and Jona Abravanel to serve members of the then sizable Sephardic Jewish community in Amsterdam. A significant portion of the community were former Conversos Jews who had outwardly converted to Catholicism during the inquisition in Spain who then emmigrated and were able to reestablish 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 the "Keter Malkhut" p.254-289. Title page is has a decorative vignette printed in woodblock and is printed with the Hebrew date "5412". Pages 305-352 are misprinted as "321-368" with their correct numbers handwritten above in ink.

Missing one of the metal clasps on the back cover. Starting at interior covers. Some minor to light sporadic damp staining and foxing throughout the text.

Binding in good- interior in very good- condition overall. Quite scarce. Dr. Efraim Ephraim Bueno aka Martin Alvarez 1599-1665 was a Portuguese-born Jewish physician in Amsterdam of the famed Iberian-Jewish Bueno medical dynasty and prominent member of the city's Sephardic community. He served for many years as the personal physician to famed artist Rembrandt van Rijn who in fact depicted Bueno in two of his works one an etching and the other a painted portrait. He received his medical education and degree in Bordeaux and was known to have practiced medicine in Amsterdam until the time of his death. In addition to his medical practice Bueno was an accomplished biblical scholar who along with Jona Abravanel published numerous Jewish works the on the bible and Jewish Law. Jona Abravanel 1593-1667 was a Sephardic Jewish poet in Amsterdam from the prominent Abravanel family. He was the nephew of Famed Portueguse-Dutch Rabbi and printer Menasseh ben Israel. Together with his uncle and Dr. Efraim Bueno he was responsible for publishing numerous works of Judiaca in the 17th century. In this edition the title page was mistaken printed with the word "Kuyper" which was then correct via a scrap of paper pasted on top.

Verso of front free endpaper with bookplate of John R. Menzies. Carteret IV 140. ◆Spine lightly sunned one tiny spot on half title but A VERY FINE COPY clean fresh and bright internally and in a binding with no signs of wear. This is a strikingly bound deluxe copy of the first book produced by the French Orientalist painter Étienne Dinet and his Arabic teacher and closest friend Sliman ben Ibrahim. The text of three Saharan folktales related here by Sliman are illustrated with Dinet's sensuous watercolors and the whole is bound with great animation and skill by Otto Schulze of Edinburgh. Dinet and Sliman met in Algeria in 1889 when Sliman saved the painter from an ambush. Sliman accompanied Dinet to Paris in 1896 where he met the French Society of Oriental Painters and impressed them with both his character and his couscous. Sliman and Dinet also collaborated on a biography of Mohammed and an account of the Hajj they made after Dinet's conversion to Islam. The binding here is reminiscent of an Oriental carpet and echoes Dinet's beautiful designs used inside the book. Operating during the first 10 or 15 years of the 20th century Otto Schulze was an Edinburgh publisher whose books sometimes appeared in bindings said to have been done by him. As in the case of other publishers and booksellers such bindings often were done for rather than by the party whose name is stamp-signed on the volume. Bindings signed by Schulze are consistently attractive but are not common: since 1975 ABPC has listed six such morocco bindings two of them described as "elaborate" or "extra." Since our volume says that the binding is by--and not for--Schulze we can only assume that our publisher had an in-house binder. From 1906 until his death in 1935 our previous owner John R. Menzies was chairman of John Menzies & Co. founded in Edinburgh in 1833 by his father. The firm sold books magazines and newspapers becoming with W. H. Smith one of two major newsagents in the United Kingdom in the 20th century until bought out by its rival in 1990. H. Piazza et Cie unknown

A very rare copy of this classic of Medieval Jewish philosophy presenting the fears of Spanish Jews faced with two powerful religions Christianity and Islam. Written in 1140 in Arabic the Kuzari is couched in the form of a dialogue in five books. Charles Touati in his 1994 preface to the text summarizes the narrative thread of the work thus: «The king of the Khazars or Kuzari tormented by the religious question interrogates in turn a philosopher a Christian theologian and a Muslim one. Disappointed in their answers he feels he must turn to a learned man of the mocked and vilified minority a Rabbi who ends up convincing him at which the king converts to Judaism and continues his studies with the aid of this teacher.» This apologia allowed Juda Halevi to critique the appeal of philosophy Christianity and Islam for his contemporaries. According to him «philosophy denies all possibility of dialogue between Man and God and does not understand the religious phenomenon» ibid. Right from his starting point a proof of the existence of God he believes that we need only look to history and the revelation of God on Mount Sinai witnessed by thousands. Christianity and Islam are for him nothing but forgeries of Judaism: «they jeer at the humiliations and suffering of the Jews without realizing that they exalt in the founder of their own religions precisely that humiliation and suffering» ibid. The Kuzari is an emblematic text in the sense that it calls for the exiled community to return to Zion rather than submit. «It is better to leave everything and go back to Zion and there regain Divine favor instead of wearing ourselves out winning the favor of gentiles which in any case we will never have» ibid.

First Hebrew Bible published in Amsterdam printed by the rabbi diplomat publisher and religious thinker Menasseh ben Israel 1604-1657 one of the most distinguished members of the Portuguese Jewish community of Amsterdam and the first Jewish printer in the Northern Netherlands. The Amsterdam printer and publisher Hendrick Laurensz Lauretius provided the financing for this edition along with two other Bible editions and two editions of the Hebrew Psalms printed by Menasseh between 1631 and 1646. "These publications were not only made for the local market but mainly for international trade. Thanks to this financial help Menasseh was able to organize his printing office in a more professional way" Fuks hiring a Jewish compositor Judah Leb ben Mordecai Gimple from Posen and a gentile compositor Bartholomeus Laurensz. The printing activity of Menasseh was especially important in the steadily growing productions of the Hebrew press in the Northern Netherlands. Fulfilling the needs of the Sephardic community for Jewish ritual texts eliminated the need for expensive imports from Venice and Poland. Menasseh undersood that the relatively cheap paper and tools available in Amsterdam made it possible to compete in quality and prices with the Hebrew presses of Poland Italy and Basel. "Gentile publishers and booksellers in Amsterdam such as Jansonius and Laurentius were quick to see the opportunity of the opening Eastern European market and financed several of Menasseh's publications" Fuks. Menasseh was the first to introduce in the Netherlands waybertaytsch types for Yiddish publications along with illustrated Hebrew books. He was also the first Jewish printer to adopt the Dutch pocket-book format made famous by the Elzeviers. Notes on publication date and issue: The title is dated 1630 in Arabic numerals; the colophon notes the date of completion in Hebrew characters as 5 Adar 5391 = 7 February 1631 along with the printer's apology for being unable to provide the index of pericopes promised on the title-page due to lack of printing material.
