1899119852Louisville KY: Courier-Journal Job Printing Company 1899. Hardbound. See description. Full embossed leather spine gone. All edges are gilt. 560 pp. few illustrations. This copy though in dire need of rebinding spine gone covers off text block intact and solid is unique in that it bears a dedication bookplate stating as follows: to The Confederate Soldiers' Home Pikesville MD from John Brown Sons May 2 1908" written in contemporary ink. John Brown and Sons was a Hardware and Machinests' Supplies firm on Pratt Street in Baltimore and their letterhead makes up the bookplate.

Isaac Aboab was an early 14th century Spanish Talmudic scholar and Kabbalist. "The Menorah of Light" is a collection of midrashic sermons. Per the Jewish Encyclopedia: "It has won considerable fame for the author though in his humility he assures his readers that he composed it chiefly for his own use as a public speaker. But besides this it has contributed probably more than any other medieval book to the popularization of rabbinical lore and to the religious edification and elevation of the masses. It belongs to that class of ethical works which sprang up in the thirteenth century in a time of reaction against the one-sided manner in which the Talmudic studies had been previously pursued.'. It was published with a Spanish translation Leghorn 1657 with a Hebrew commentary and a Judæo-German translation by Moses Frankfurter Amsterdam 1701 with a modern German translation by Fürstenthal and Behrend Krotoschin 1844-46. It was translated also into Yiddish Wilna 1880.";. 1331695. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Defus Sh. Y. Fin, A. Ts. Rosenḳrants, M.M. Shrifá¹zeá¹tser hardcover books
