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.

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.<br /> <br /> 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.

With an engraved title 7 engraved maps and plates 5 folding 2 double-page and 50 engraved maps and views in the text.

The work is also important as an Americanum as it gives the results of Henry Hudsons first two voyages to the Arctic 1607-1608 for the Muscovy Company of London. These reports are beautifully illustrated by large maps and views including a famous map of the North Pole region.Johannes Isaac Pontanus 1571-1639 was a physician and historian who was a professor at the University of Harderwijk for most of his life. He wrote several important historical works such as the history of Denmark of the Duchy of Gelre and of Amsterdam. His work on Amsterdam far exceeds the limits of the usual town descriptions elaborately incorporating the history of the voyages of exploration and commerce undertaken by the enterprising citizens of Amsterdam. Pontanus also describes in detail the activities on the Amsterdam stock and commodity markets which were among the earliest of the world and at the time the most important. The extent of the citys trading activities by this time is shown by illustrations of scenes from Indonesia and India to the Arctic.The binding is somewhat stained and soiled with a restoration at the foot of the spine and along the fore and foot edge of the back board. The work is lightly browned and foxed throughout a faint water stain in the margin of the last 11 leaves. Otherwise in good condition.l Alden & Landis II 611/91; V.

Cover in fair book in good condition. freely translated: Rabbi Moses Maimonides' volountary sacrifice: An approach to Abarbanel's introduction and commentary on Leviticus and Maimonides' Tractate on the consecrated calendar and the rational calendar change R. Moses Maimonides Rambam was a 12th century Jewish philosopher and halachic legal scholar. A highly controversial figure both during his lifetime and after his death but generally acknowledged as the preeminent Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages. He was born in Córdoba Spain but fled as a child from the Almohad persecution. He eventually settled in Egypt where he served as a rabbi physician and philosopher. His fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah his only work not in Arabic still carries canonical authority particularly within the Yemenite Jewish community as the codification of Talmudic law. His other work includes a commentary on the Mishnah entitled Kitab al-Siraj Kitab al-Fara'I a book on precepts and the philosophical work Dalalat al-Ha'irin known in Hebrew as the Moreh Nevukhim The Guide to the Perplexed. The major premise is an attempted philosophical/theological reconciliation of the Hebrew Bible and Greek knowledge. This work came to play a central role in all subsequent major controversies over philosophy within the Jewish community during the Middle Ages.

First Edition. <br /><br />An anonymous Dutch edition of Philosophia appeared in 1667 and new Latin editions in 1673 and 1674. Evidence for the staying power of the work and the controversies which surrounded it is found in <br /> the fact that it underwent a fourth edition long after Meyer's death in 1776. <br /><br />Rare Quarto edition which preceded the 12mo of the same year. <br /><br />La Peyrere is considered to be the father of Biblical criticism. He asserted in Praeadamitae that there were human beings before Adam. His approach to Biblical scholarship argued that the Bible was just the story of the Jewish people not all of humanity. His book and heretical views were quickly banned. La Peyrere was eventually arrested but offered a half-hearted renunciation of his views to escape punishment. La Peyrere went on to engage in polemics with Richard Simon famous defender of the Bible. A rare and important book in the Radical Enlightenment identified as one of the wicked books of the late 17th century. .the wicked sedition which commenced with La Peyreres Prae-Adamitae gained impetus with the utterly licentious dissipated dictionary of Koerbagh that shameless book the Philosophai S. Scripturae and Hobbes Leviathan and culminated in the Tractatus- Theologico-Politicus and Ethics of Spinoza Israel 367. <br /><br />CONDITION: Very Good in slightly soiled contemporary vellum over boards.

16661299Nurnberg 1666. Houzeau & Lancaster 3039; Zimmer 5089 1628 Strasbourg ed.; Poggendorff 1984. Warner The Sky Explored pp. 104-5. Extremely rare German edition a Latin edition was published the same year of Sturms enlargement of Habrechts famous treatise on the making of celestial and terrestrial globes published in 1628. The Habrecht family of clock and instrument makers were famous throughout Europe from the last quarter of the sixteenth century to the end of the seventeenth century. The authors father also called Isaac was responsible for making the monumental second Strasbourg clock which was one of the mechanical wonders of its time on the Continent. Isaac Habrecht 1589-1633 was a Strasbourg physician mathematician and maker of globes. He was much influenced by Blaeu and Hondius and his globes were highly regarded. J. C. Sturm was Habrechts student and a scientist of vision. He organized the first scientific academy in Germany the Collegium Curiosum sive Experimentale at Altdorf in 1672 and introduced the first course in experimental physics in a German university. In 1666 he undertook the task of augmenting Habrechts original text and adding a number of folding plates. The plates include two handsome polar projections of the world two polar stereographic celestial charts of the northern and southern constellations and ten folded engravings showing the various parts of his planiglobiums.The fourteen folded engravings superbly executed by Jacob von der Heyden were probably intended to be mounted and assembled to form several instruments each with a revolving plate measuring 27 cm in diameter and a movable pointer. Each was to be supported on an approximately 12-cm base. The work is one of the most beautiful instrument books published in the seventeenth century and certainly one of the rarest particularly with the full complement of plates. Despite being an obvious Americanum see pp. 205 228 231 and America pictured on one of the maps it is not in Sabin JCB Palmer and other standard bibliographies. Houzeau & Lancaster lists a 1650 edition that is clearly an error as Sturm would have been 15 years old at the time.OCLC lists Yale for the German and Chicago for the Latin editions. unknown
