18553206Coyoteville: September 12 1855. Very good. 2pp. plus integral blank. Original mailing folds moderate toning staining and ink spotting but still easily readable. Bottom fourth of integral blank excised. An informative Gold Rush letter about mining in the long-vanished ghost town of Coyoteville which was an extraordinarily rich gold area for a couple of years in the early 1850s. A noted tunneling method nicknamed "coyoteing" was developed in the town and subsequently inspired the name of the town. In the present letter Moses Pine writes to "Catherine" in Branch County Michigan and signs his name simply as "Mose Esq" at the conclusion. The author informs Catherine presumably his wife or sister of his activities some of the economic realities and some of the practical details of prospecting for gold in California. Presuming that "it would be impossible for the whole of Branch County to raise $10 unless they sell a horse" Pine comments that he had ginger bread on the Fourth of July after working all day and yielding a "half Ounce Gold Dust." He then provides a detailed description of his mining: "I am now tunneling in a hill. We are 150 feet under the ground. Day before yesterday we got small respect 25 cents to the pan for the first and the bed rock pitching. I think we will find good pay in the going 100 feet further the expense is heavy as we have to blast and timber the tunnel." Pine also talks of his health and that "I work hard every day do my cooking and baking." He then expresses his hope to get back to Michigan to "rest a few months" but knows nothing of other Michigan folks in California: "Have not seen nor heard anything of them in a year. I guess they have all gone home with a fortune in a horn. Well good luck to the lucky. Old Mose will come home after a while with a pretty hat on." A nicely-detailed letter from an unusual and obscure Gold Rush location. September 12 unknown
1863215941863. Medal of Honor Recipient Moses Veale Signed Civil War muster out roll dated June 8 1863 documents the discharge of 1st Lieutenant Orson Foot of the 60th New York Volunteer Infantry so he could accept a commission as Captain during the opening phase of the Gettysburg campaign. Issued at Aquia Creek Virginia the document bears the signature of Captain Moses Veale as mustering officer a Union officer later awarded the Medal of Honor for extraordinary gallantry during the Civil War. Veale's citation records that during the Battle of Wauhatchie Tennessee he continued directing his men after being struck by four enemy bullets and having his horse shot from under him. The presence of Veale's signature transforms the document from routine military administration into a signed record connected to one of the war's most decorated acts of battlefield courage. At the same time the roll records Foot's discharge to accept promotion during the Gettysburg Campaign. <br /> Foot Orson. Civil War muster out roll. Aquia Creek Virginia June 8 1863. One manuscript sheet completed in official Union Army muster format and signed by Captain Moses Veale as mustering officer. The document certifies that the officer "carefully examined this Roll. and mustered the said Orson Foot for discharge; and I hereby honorably discharge him from the service of the United States." It records Foot's enrollment at Ogdensburg New York on September 16 1861 identifies his rank as 1st Lieutenant in the 60th New York Volunteer Infantry and notes in the remarks that he was mustered out "to accept Commission of Captain." The sheet therefore documents the administrative transition by which an officer left one commission to assume another within the wartime command structure.<br /> <br /> The document's date and place situate it at the evacuation of Aquia Creek Landing one of the Army of the Potomac's principal logistical bases. Established during earlier campaigns in northern Virginia Aquia Creek served as a major supply depot linking Washington with Union forces in the field. As Robert E. Lee advanced north in June 1863 the Union command dismantled and abandoned the installation to support the army's rapid movement toward Pennsylvania. By the very day this roll was issued June 8 Federal forces were evacuating and destroying the depot to prevent its use by Confederate troops. Foot's promotion therefore occurred amid the redeployment that would culminate at the Battle of Gettysburg. Single manuscript sheet measuring approximately 32 x 11 inches when unfolded. Some age toning scattered ink staining and edge wear consistent with large-format wartime administrative documents; overall good condition. A substantial Civil War military document combining Gettysburg campaign context with the signature of Medal of Honor recipient Moses Veale whose later battlefield heroism makes his autograph particularly desirable within Civil War military manuscripts. A substantial Civil War military document produced during the evacuation of Aquia Creek and the opening phase of the Gettysburg campaign. unknown

"Whereas Christian interest in Maimonides' thought was focused on his philosophic work the Guide of the Perplexed during the Middle Ages -- the so-called Age of Faith -- this interest shifted during the Renaissance the Reformation and the Enlightenment to his Halakic work the Mishneh Torah. It was through the Mishneh Torah that Christian thinkers and theologians viewed normative Judaism" Dienstag.<br /> <br /> Born Daniel de Weil in the Jewish quarter of Metz Louis-Compiègne de Veil d. c.1710 was the son of the town's rabbi David Weil d. 1645 and a descendant of the Nürnberg rabbi Jacob Weil. Both he and his brother Charles Marie de Veil converted to Catholicism under the influence of the new Catholic archdeacon Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet who arrived at Metz in 1652. The archdeacon "shared in the current apocalyptic excitement of both Christians and Jewish cabbalists and the conviction of the former of an imminent large-scale conversion of the Jews" ODNB. He was sponsored at his baptism by Louis XIV as reflected in his new Christian name and went on to study theology at the Sorbonne. Both Louis and his brother subsequently converted to Calvinism and immigrated to England. "Designated sub-keeper of the Royal Library in 1678 de Veil was licensed ‘ad docendum litteras in et per totam urbem Londinensem' in 1685" Massil. As noted by Dienstag de Veil "devoted himself to the interpretation of Maimonides' code Mishneh Torah."<br /> <br /> The present work was dedicated to the son of Minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert the churchman Jacques Nicolas Colbert 1655-1707 who later become Archbishop of Rouen in 1691 and was one of the first members of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. <br /> <br /> Provenance and annotations: With the 19th-century bookplate of "Mr. F.

It is simultaneously an ambitiously arranged textbook of mythology a summary of what was written about nature in all its manifestations up until Vossius' time and finally also a first specimen of what would be done profusely in the eighteenth century a book on the natural knowledge of God" Rademaker. <br /> <br /> Provenance: The manuscript entry “Jan de Wind. 17 april An. 1697.â€.

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 published at Krakow in 1617 this is the author's only published work. Born in Mainz between 1420 and 1430 Moses Mintz studied with Jacob Weil and Israel Isserlein and while still quite young was appointed rabbi of Würzburg. Mintz led a peripatetic life which allowed him to investigate Jewish customs and communal regulations in many towns. After the 1453 expulsion of the Jews from Würzburg he returned to Mainz until the expulsion of 1462. He subsequently went to Landau and Ulm. In 1469 he was appointed rabbi of Bamberg. Four years later he was in Nürnberg and the following year in Posen. There he made preparations to emigrate to Palestine but for unknown reasons decided to remain in Posen until the end of his life.<br /> <br /> "Mintz's prominence and recognized authority resulted in may other rabbis turning to him with halakhic queries on such issues as issur ve-heter dietary laws and communal customs" Heller. His circle of correspondents included Israel Isserlein Joseph Colon Eliezer Treves and his cousin Judah Mintz. As the present collection notably deals with practical issues of contemporary importance especially civil and matrimonial law -- including customs and the enactments of Rabbenu Gershom -- they provide insight into Jewish life in fifteenth-century Germany. Issues of some notable responsa include taxes placed on Jews by local rulers; obligations of a wealthy man to his wife's poor relatives; a woman who committed adultery repented and swears the child is from her husband; if a person blind in one eye can be a judge in a case of halitzah when a man is released from the general obligation to marry his deceased brother's widow; and if one should mourn for a murderer. "Of special value are three responsa in manuscript entitled 'The Three Branches' which are an important source for the history of the yeshivot rabbinic schools of Germany in the 15th century. They depict the woeful condition of pupil-teacher relations which had broken down as a result of the arrogance of the teachers and their exaggerated concern for their dignity as well as because of the pupils' desire for greater freedom of activity and the acquisition of social status" EJ.<br /> <br /> Approbations of Istanbul rabbis: Ezekiel Refael Chaim Alfandari; Michael Ashkenazi; Moshe Frishko<br /> <br /> Provenance: Ink stamps of the Yeshiva Ha-Metivta ha-Gedolah Jerusalem at approbation page and bottom margin of one text page.

Despite his accomplishments in public affairs Moses's reputation was diminished with the publication of Robert Caro's biography The Power Broker which described Moses as a racist official who cut corners on budgeting and restricted access to city parks for lower-class families.

Throughout his forty-year career Moses oversaw construction and function of Jones Beach State Park and the New York State Parkway System and was acting head of the Triborough Bridge Authority.
