1821158589London: Henry Setchel and Son c.1821. A finely printed collection in an attractive contemporary binding. The exquisite illustrations by Henry Moses depicting fashionable Neoclassical-style dress and furniture were praised by the English art critic Sacheverell Sitwell as "probably the finest and neatest engravings that have ever made their appearance between the covers of a book" quoted in Watkin p. 52. Henry Moses 1781-1870 a printmaker and engraver who specialized in classical design was distinguished by his "neatness and purity of outline" ODNB. Designs of Modern Costume was commissioned by Thomas Hope art collector and patron and all the scenes in the volume are depicted against the background of his museum-residence in Duchess Street. Hope himself was involved in the design and composition of the suite. "The persons shown throughout the book - in what are effectively a series of conversation pieces - are dressed in modernized versions of the ancient Greek costumes which Hope had recreated from antique sculpture and vase-paintings. The women's costumes are an enchanting compromise between the fashions of the fifth century B.C. and of 1810; and as such they appear to be unique in the history of Regency costume" Watkin pp. 219-220. This work first appeared in 1812 with only 20 plates. The present copy is an enlarged edition containing all the plates from the first edition and nine additional designs; multiple impressions of this edition with variant titles and imprints are known though the order of their publication is debated. Savage in his catalogue of early printed books in the British Architectural Library states that the present undated variant is quite possibly "the first to have been published with 29 plates. issued between around 1820 and 1822"; he assigned a date of c.1821 on the basis of the imprint as Henry Setchel died or retired in 1822. Octavo 218 x 160 mm. Engraved title page and 29 plates. Contemporary red straight-grain morocco spine with gilt ruled raised bands lettering and floral decoration gilt in compartments covers bordered with a double gilt fillet and a blind foliate roll small ornaments blind stamped to corners gilt decoration to board edges and turn-ins marbled endpapers edges gilt.

Mendelssohn was fluent in German and Hebrew and learned Latin Greek English French and Italian. His early teachers were young broadly educated Jews and he met the writer and dramatist G.E. Lessing 1754 and a deep and lifelong friendship developed between them. Throughout his life he worked as a merchant while carrying out his literary activities and widespread correspondence in his free time. In 1754 Mendelssohn began to publish – at first with the assistance of Lessing – philosophical writings and later also literary reviews. <br> He also started a few literary projects for example the short-lived periodical Kohelet Musar in order to enrich and change Jewish culture and took part in the early Haskalah. In 1763 he was awarded the first prize of the Prussian Royal Academy of Sciences for his work Abhandlung über die Evidenz in metaphysischen Wissenschaften "Treatise on Evidence in Metaphysical Knowledge". However when the academy elected him as a member in 1771 King Frederick II refused to ratify its decision. <br> <br> In 1769 he became embroiled in a dispute on the Jewish religion and from then on he confined most of his literary activity to the sphere of Judaism. His most notable and enduring works in this area included the translation into German and commentary on the Pentateuch Sefer Netivot ha-Shalom "Book of the Paths of Peace" 1780–83 and his Jerusalem: oder Ueber religiöse Macht und Judenthum "Jerusalem or On Religious Power and Judaism" 1783 this work the first polemical defense of Judaism in the German language and one of the pioneering works of modern Jewish philosophy. <br> <br> An active intermediary on behalf of his own people in difficult times and a participant in their struggle for equal rights he was at the same time a forceful defender of the Enlightenment against the opposition to it which gained strength toward the end of his life. In the midst of a literary battle against one of the leading figures of the counter-Enlightenment he died in 1786 EJ. <br> <br> SUBJECTS: Philosophy -- Early works to 1800.

Traces of light soiling to the front board of volume 1. Text in French and Hebrew. Photomechanical reprint of the 1856-1866 edition. Moses ben Maimoun 1138-1204 more commonly known as Maimonides in the English language and as Rambam in Hebrew is viewed as the greatest Jewish philosopher of the Middle Ages. This work The Guide of the Perplexed is his magnum opus. It is an in-depth treatment of Jewish thought and practice that aims to resolve the conflict between religious knowledge and secular. Although strongly influenced by the Neo-Platonized Aristotelianism that had sprouted in Islamic circles it departs from the dominant modes of Aristotelian thought by emphasizing the limits of human knowledge and the questionable foundations of significant parts of astronomy and metaphysics. Maimonides was also a well-known physician who wrote medical treatises on numerous diseases and their cures. Later generations of philosophers wrote detailed commentaries on the works of Maimonides which heavily influenced thinkers such as Aquinas Spinoza Leibnitz and Newton.
