OCLC lists only 13 copies including those at Columbia Cornell Yale Harvard and the New York Historical Society.<br/><br/> Attributed to Isaac Bronson by F. Redlich in "The Molding of American Banking" 1868 volume 1 page 308. "Isaac Bronson was a highly successful financier of the Jacksonian era who was also one of the period's most original and influential banking theorists. Bronson accumulated his very considerable fortune in New York primarily by judicious personal money-lending operations on long-term bonds and mortgages at a cautious 7 per cent annual return supplemented by successful ventures in land speculation. In addition to wealth he had by the 1830's acquired a weighty reputation for sober financial conservatism and was regarded as an authoritative exponent of sound banking principles. Prominent in the financial community he had long thrown his weight as a sound banking theorist against the "wild-cat" practices of the then rampant state banks." --Venit A. 1945.

Quarto 292 pages; VG-; newly rebound in quarter blue leather blue cloth covered boards paneled spine with burgundy label and gilt titling; page edges brittle pages age-toned; upper fore corner of first 96 pages clipped; text in Yiddish; scarce; shelved case 4. 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

First Edition.<br/><br/>"From 1905 to 1908 Albéniz wrote his masterpiece Iberia . wherein he captured and immortalized the sounds and rhythms of his native country ." <br/><br/>"Through his activities as a conductor impresario performer and composer within Spain as well as abroad Albéniz one of Spain's foremost musicians not only contributed to the rebirth of Spanish nationalism but also gained international recognition for Spanish music. Where Pedrell used folk music in his works as a basis for a national style Albéniz preferred to suggest rather than quote rhythms and melodic elements to evoke the Spanish landscape. He achieved popularity at the beginning of his compositional career with salon music. With his dramatic works his writing gained depth. By the end of his life he was creating dense polyphonic textures that combined underlying diatonic harmonies freely mixing major and minor tonalities with modal elements animated by vibrant ostinato rhythms overlaid with basically simple melodic lines and gestures embroidered with chromatic filigree."
