Overall a very good copy.<br> <br> "Having published a five-volume Pentateuch-cum-haftarot lections from the Prophets translation in 1845-1846 as well as a complete vocalized and accentuated Hebrew Bible in 1848 the first such edition published in the U.S. he proceeded from April 1852 to September 1853 to extend his translation efforts to the entire Hebrew Bible. The result was his Twenty-Four Books of the Holy Scriptures the first translation of all of Tanakh into English by a Jew complete with short explanatory notes. Leeser explained in the preface to his magnum opus that he undertook the project in order to provide Anglophone Jewry with a vernacular version of the Bible "which has not been made by the authority of churches in which they can have no confidence" pp. iii-iv. The book achieved wide popularity among English-speaking Jews and even some Gentiles especially in America and went through multiple editions." Sotheby's<br> <br> "The translation of the Bible was Leeser's great literary achievement and represented many years of patient labor and devotion to a task which he considered sacred. Leeser was not fully equipped for this work for he was no specialist in Hebrew philology nor a master if Jewish learning in general and he was quite conscious of his shortcomings but he was inspired. He says in his preface: 'I thought in all due humility that I might safely go to task confidently relying upon that superior aid which is never withheld from the inquirer after truth.' He made good use of the various German translations by Jews of the collective commentary known as the Biur vol. III sec. 81 and of other Jewish exegetic works. As a result his translation though based in style upon the King James version can be considered an independent work for the changes he produced are numerous and great. His prime concern was to supply the traditional interpretation when necessary and the retention of the Jewish spirit at times even at the expense of beauty of style. The translation went through numerous editions and until the new Jewish Publication Society version was issued in 1917 it was the only source from which many Jews not conversant with Hebrew derived their knowledge of the Bible in accordance with Jewish tradition" Waxman History of Jewish Literature 1090.<br> <br> HBS 69294.<br> <br> $12500.

Half titles present in each volume. Uncut. 2 vols. 8vo. Original blue paper boards rebacked with plain paper. Provenance: Hugh Blair Grigsby booklabels. In a blue cloth folding box. First American edition. Text in Hebrew with notes in Latin. 6 296; 2 312 leaves. Half titles present in each volume. Uncut. 2 vols. 8vo. The first complete Hebrew Bible printed in America. Hebrew type was first used in the North American colonies in the Bay Psalm Book printed in 1640 in Cambridge. Over the next ninety-five years Hebrew type appeared in a handful of American imprints usually in brief examples of single words or short sentences. Paucity of appropriate type would continue to be a problem over the years that followed. The first Jewish Psalter was finally published in 1809 followed by this complete Bible five years later. "In 1812 Mr. Horwitz had proposed the publication of this edition of the Hebrew Bible the first proposal of the kind in the United States; early in 1813 be transferred his right and list of subscribers to Mr. Thos. Dobson who published soon afterwards the 1st volume" O'Callaghan. The title page indicates that this work is a reprinting of the second edition of the Joseph Athias Bible edited by Leusden with Latin notes by Everardo Van der Hought and that the Hebrew is printed without vowels.

188650292Tokyo: Tokiwaya 1886. Very good. Scarce and exceptional first edition thus a light-hearted illustrated adaptation of the Creation and story of Adam and Eve from the Book of Genesis into Japanese. The story of Bible editions in Japan reflects the country's fraught history with Christianity; after the religion was banned in the early 17th century the portions printed by Catholic missionaries were lost. The ban on Christianity lifted only in the Meiji era first partially in 1873 then enshrined in the Constitution 1889 by means of an article on the freedom of religion. <br /> <br /> The post-Meiji Restoration translation effort of the Hebrew Bible began in 1882 and was finally completed in 1887. Books were completed and issued in parts with Genesis first issued in 1883. This heavily illustrated and lighthearted version of the two most famous stories from Genesis adapts the text to a well-established literary genre of Meiji Japan: KusazÅshi a forerunner of manga popular illustrated works in which the text weaves around the illustrations that dominate most spreads. Because they were meant for a popular audience the text is often primarily in hiragana or kanji with furigana; here the text is shown in three writing styles: kanji hiragana and romaji with furigana glosses. <br /> <br /> This presentation suggests how Christian mythology must have appeared to Japanese readers much as say Greek mythology seems to modern American readers of Homer. God is depicted as a mustachioed wise man while the serpent approaches Eve on legs. Most charmingly one spread depicts God spying on Adam and Eve with a pair of binoculars. <br /> <br /> While listed as the "first part" it is all published with no second volume ever appearing. We find only two copies at the National Diet Library and at Waseda University. 7.75'' x 5.25''. Original printed wrappers. Woodblock printed and illustrated including 16 double-page spreads. Title page matching illustrated cover printed on red metallic-speckled paper. 39 1 pages. Some staining and wear to wrappers with 2.5'' paper repair to rear wrapper verso. Black ink calligraphy to versos of both wrappers. Housed in custom blue cloth chemise. [Tokiwaya] unknown
