A fairly good copy.<br /> <br /> First part only of the first Latin edition of this classic work on Jewish apologetics written by the celebrated rabbi religious thinker and printer-publisher Menasseh ben Israel 1604-1657. The work was first published in Spanish at Amsterdam in four parts between 1632 and 1651. By providing a harmonization of all the apparent contradictions within the Hebrew Scriptures he hoped to encourage converso Jews of Iberian descent who had lost touch with their religious heritage to make the return to rabbinic Judaism. The present volume deals with the Pentateuch Five Books of Moses; the second volume treats the Prophetic books and the Hagiographa Writings. The work was first published a year earlier in a Spanish language edition.<br /> <br /> The work attempts resolution to no less than 180 seeming discrepancies in the Pentateuch. The breadth of Menasseh's encyclopedic knowledge is vast the Conciliador contains citations from 221 Jewish and 54 non-Jewish authorities.

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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.

A very good copy amply-margined with fine crisp text throughout.<br /> <br /> Important edition of this Aramaic version of the biblical books of Chronicles attributed to Joseph ben Hiyya d. 333 a Babylonian amora and head of the Pumbedita academy near present-day Falluja Iraq. "Ben Hiyya was also distinguished in biblical exegesis and left an Aramaic translation of parts of the Bible which is often quoted. It is not to be assumed however that Joseph translated the whole Bible though the Aramaic translation of the Books of Chronicles is ascribed to him. Enc. Jud. The editio princeps edited from an Erfurt manuscript by Matthias Frederick Beck and accompanied by substantial annotations was published at Augsburg in 1680. "After this David Wilkins gave the public an edition from a Cambridge manuscript of which the text was more pure and more complete. The critic should unite both these editions the former for the value of its learned notes and the latter for its full and accurate text†The Biblical Repertory. <br /> <br /> The Coptic scholar David Wilkens 1685–1745 was born of Prussian parentage in Memel Lithuania. Little is known about his education in Germany probably in Berlin or how he acquired his knowledge of ancient and Semitic languages which was extensive rather than profound. He referred to the antiquarian Ezechiel Spanheim the elector of Brandenburg's ambassador in England from 1701 to 1710 as his former teacher. By 1707 Wilkins was studying at the Bodleian Library in Oxford and had encountered a group of clerical protectors in London. In 1709 engaged in preparing a history of the patriarchs of Alexandria which remained in manuscript and the editio princeps of the Coptic Bohairic New Testament the Novum Testamentum Aegyptium 1716 he left for the continent. He called on scholars examined manuscripts in Vienna Rome and Paris and stopped in Amsterdam in 1714 to see to the publication of his first works -- an edition of the Aramaic paraphrasis of the books of Chronicles and an Armenian version of the apocryphal third epistle to the Corinthians 1715 -- and of John Chamberlayne's polyglot edition of the Lord's prayer to which he contributed. Wilkins was an industrious scholar. In the three years he spent as librarian at Lambeth he made important contributions to the cataloguing of manuscripts. In 1721 he edited the Anglo-Saxon laws in 1725–6 the complete works of John Selden and in 1731 the Coptic Pentateuch. His main work was his Concilia Magnae Britanniae et Hiberniae an account of British church councils from 446 to 1717. Wilkins had many detractors -- John Gagnier the professor of Arabic at Oxford who deplored his incompetence in Arabic and Hebrew Edward Harley who described him as ‘a very great scoundrel’ and the cantankerous Thomas Hearne who as librarian at the Bodleian had watched him turn from a young man ‘of a civil Courteous and modest behaviour’ into ‘a vain ambitious man of little judgement tho' great industry’ ready to ‘do anything in the World for a little Money’ Alastair Hamilton: "Wilkens David" -- ODNB online.<br /> <br /> Provenance: From the library of G.H.A.

All text with decorative frames printed in green. ◆Spine just faintly and evenly sunned but A BEAUTIFUL COPY SPARKLING INSIDE AND OUT.<br/> <br/> This collection of stories of life in the Sahara Desert is not only in a sumptuous binding but its color illustrations are printed with such skill that they seem very much like original paintings. French Orientalist painter Étienne Dinet 1861-1929 met his Arabic teacher and closest friend Sliman ben Ibrahim 1870-1953 in Algeria in 1889 when Sliman saved the painter from an ambush. Sliman accompanied Dinet to Paris in 1896 where the latter met the French Society of Oriental Painters and impressed them with both his character and his couscous. Sliman and Dinet collaborated on several other works including a biography of Mohammed and an account of the Hajj they made to Mecca after Dinet's conversion to Islam. The gorgeous binding by Henri Blanchetière 1881-1933 utilizes rich jewel tones scalloped edges and complex gilt scrolling patterns calling to mind Islamic art and architecture and echoing Dinet's beautiful designs used inside the book. After training with Marcellin Lortic and René Kieffer Blanchetière took over the atelier of binder Joseph Brétault in 1906 at which time "he aligned himself with Marius-Michel in the pursuit of a modern binding style inspired by nature. His designs incorporated a cautious blend of Art Nouveau flowers" and "after World War I he gradually cut his remaining ties to traditionalism." Duncan & De Bartha As a craftsman of artistic fine bindings Blanchetière ranks with Kieffer and Charles Meunier but his bindings are less commonly seen in the marketplace. H. Piazza unknown

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.<br/> <br/> 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
