Ephraim Moses Pinner was a 19th century German Talmudist and archeologist. His first work published in 1831 the "Kizzur Talmud Yerushalmi V'Talmud Babli" was a translation of sections of both the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmuds. This was the beginning of his larger project to produce a translation of the entire Talmud. Pinner's work took him to libraries across Eastern Europe. He even secured the aid of the anti-Jewish Czar Nicholas I and dedicated the translation to him. Only the first of the proposed 28 volumes was ever published. Besides for securing sponsorships from royalty across European Pinner gained letters of approbation from several rabbis none of whom lived in Russia. This was down apparently through some trickery on Pinner's part. Published by the author hardcover

1864AQ32341Wien: In Commission bei Rudolf Lechner 1864. Single sheet. A trifle creased. A rare survival of a chart demonstrating a remarkably involved and somewhat overworked system for a universal language combining both pasigraphy writing and pasilogy sound. In Paić's system individual words are replaced by concepts each concept is assigned an Arabic numeral and in turn each digit is assigned a sound; for example 'Ich höre' 'I hear' is written 2074111 and pronounced dullomaba and 'Du hörst' i.e. 'you hear' would be 2074112 or dullomabe. Rhythm is also incorporated requiring the speaker to intone concepts in specific ways employing iambics pyrrhicians and dactyls. Needless to say the complexity of the system ensured its immediate decline into obscurity no doubt accounting for the paucity of surviving copies of this convoluted chart.

182842606Boston: Pendleton's Lithography 1828. Uncoloured lithograph. Framed size: 19 1/4 x 15 5/8 inches. An early American marine lithograph depicting the steam packet Chancellor Livingston entering Newport Harbor issued at the outset of steam navigation on the New England coast.<br/> <br/> Published in Boston by Pendleton's Lithography after a design by Moses Swett this print presents the Chancellor Livingston under way as it enters Newport Harbor with passengers visible along the decks and flags flying from the rigging. The composition combines a detailed vessel portrait with a wider harbour view situating the steamer within a recognizable coastal setting and emphasizing both its scale and activity. The vessel itself held a prominent place in early American steam navigation. Originally associated with Robert Fulton's Hudson River operations the Chancellor Livingston was rebuilt in 1827 for service between New York and Providence. The lithograph records this later phase of its career when coastal steam travel was expanding rapidly and such vessels were becoming a familiar presence along the northeastern seaboard. The printed text beneath the image reinforces the promotional aspect of the print listing the vessel's dimensions horsepower boilers and fittings as well as its passenger capacity and accommodations. This combination of technical specification and visual representation places the image at the intersection of ship portraiture and commercial advertisement reflecting the contemporary interest in steam technology and its practical advantages. As a product of Pendleton's Lithography the print also belongs to the earliest phase of lithographic production in the United States. Established in Boston in the 1820s the firm was among the first to adopt the medium on a sustained basis and works such as this illustrate both the technical possibilities of lithography and its application to subjects of current interest. The present impression reflects that early moment when lithography was emerging as a flexible and effective means of producing images of modern life and technology. Pendleton's Lithography unknown
1895H19250Williamsport PA: Press of Pennsylvania Grit 1895. First printing. Hardcover. Good. 8vo brown cloth about very good some light wear and some moderate to heavy freckling to boards contents very good inscribed on Dec. 25 1896 to a Jacob Messerly "with the compliments of the author." In the preface the author remarks "Almost everybody will be disappointed in this book because they have been expecting something humorous. But there is a sad and serious side to every man's life and in mine there has been a homesick feeling haunting my soul since I came West and while roaming over the deserts of Colorado where the silence feels as heavy and gloomy as the shadow of death these songs came into my heart like requiems sung over the graves where I am fast burying the memories of my boyhood friends." Rare both in commerce and in institutions. Press of Pennsylvania Grit hardcover

182455402London: Henry Moses 1824. First edition. Hardcover. Very good to fine condition. Oblong Octavo. 20 etchings plus original illustrated wrappers. Bound in Royal blue leather retaining original wraps; gilt lettering and ruling on leather label mounted to spine. Cream endpapers. Tan wrappers with etching and brown lettering on front back cover plain.<br /> <br /> Our collection of "Sketches of Shipping" on the River Thames appears to be the earliest state published by Henry Moses with front wrappers dated Dec. 1 1824 and all twenty etchings dated in plates Oct. 1 1824. An 1826 advertisement in the Quarterly Review indicated that six parts of the Sketches with five engravings each had been published up to that time and announces the publication of two additional issues. The front wrapper stating publication date as Dec. 1 1824 as in our copy appears to have been used in various editions including some containing eleven plates dated March 1 1825 in plates or lettered in ink "Nos. 5 & 6" corresponding to the 1826 Quarterly Review advertisement.<br /> <br /> The irregularities and/or contradictions in tracing the publication of these Moses etchings suggest that due to the constrictions of the medium these popular etchings were published in limited numbers in variant editions as identified by the dates in these plates to satisfy the public demand of the time. <br /> <br /> In our copy all 20 etchings are dated in plates Oct. 1 1824 with two of the plates containing additional dates etched into the plates as indicated below:<br /> <br /> 1.

18240070411824: Henry Moses 1824. First Edition. Cloth. Good. Oblong 18.5 by 27 cm. Eleven plates including title page. Plates depict ships harbors docks all with people included in the views. The artwork is finely detailed and besides being beautifully scenic gives a vivid sense of how harbors looked at the time and the life around them. A curiosity is the title gives an 1824 date but the plates which have small captions at the base of the images generally give 1825 dates March 1 1825. Condition: title page heavily toned. All plates including title have foxing as we believe is always found in this collection. Cloth binding somewhat rubbed and has moderate wear. Henry Moses unknown

That Israel is blind as to the excellence and glory of the gospel; 2. That they will not always be so but will be converted to the Christian Faith; 3. This conversion will take place when the fulness of the Gentiles shall be gathered in; and 4. I shall inquire by what means the Jews are to be converted i. e. by what kind of agency and by whomThere are several explanatory notes including an in-depth look at the prophecies of Daniel and of the Revelation. Includes the instructions delivered to Rev. Schauffler by Rufus Anderson and David Greene on behalf of the A. B. C. F. M.William Gottlieb Schauffler 1798-1893 b. in Stutgart Germany. In 1805 his family settled in Odessa Russia where his early education was gained partly in a German school and partly by self-study in which he mastered Russian French and Italian and studied Latin Greek and English. �He came early under the influence of �missions� and was converted by an evangelical Catholic Ignatius Lindl. Urged to enter missionary service by an agent of the Basle Missionary Institute named Saltet he was enlisted for work among Moslems by Joseph Wolff. On Feb. 8 1826 he sailed with Wolff for Constantinople where he began the study of Turkish and �Islamic controversy.� On May 8 he sailed for Smyrna to begin his missionary activities. A sudden change of plan however carried him to America for further education. Arriving in Boston on Nov. 7 he applied at the suggestion of officers of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions for admission to Andover Theological Seminary. There he spent five years supported by funds of the institution and his own labors especially as a cabinet maker. His course of study included Greek and Hebrew but he added under his own tuition Chaldaic Syriac Arabic Persian Turkish Rabbinic Coptic and Ethiopic. Before his career was over it is said he could understand twenty-six languages use ten with facility and speak extemporaneously in six. He gained experience in preaching by supplying for several months the pulpit of the Park Street Congregational Church in Boston. On Nov. 14 1831 he was ordained in this church and commissioned by the American Board as a missionary to the Jews of Turkey�Thereafter for several years he engaged in missionary tours and Bible translation. His first Jewish converts were won in 1835. During 1855-56 Jewish missions were transferred to the Free Church of Scotland and he devoted himself thereafter to the Armenians and Turks under the Turkey Mission of the American Board.� � DAB. Moses Stuart 1780-1852 born at Wilton Connecticut. Stuart graduated with highest honors from Yale College in 1799 afterwards teaching at several posts including as Tutor at Yale. He studied theology under Dr. Dwight and was ordained pastor of the Church in New Haven in 1806. From 1810 to 1848 he was Professor of Sacred Literature at Andover. �Mr. for he refused the title of Dr. Stuart�s life was one of incessant labor devoted chiefly to Biblical literature. In this he led the way in his own country with most happy results. His own contributions to sacred learning are very valuable; but perhaps he did even more by the impulse he gave to Biblical study and the sound principles of Biblical exegesis which he instilled into the minds of his younger brethren especially in America than by the works which he himself published.� � M�Clintock & Strong.

Book of Jewish legal deeds and contracts and law first publishedin Amsterdam in 1667. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia "in 1660 he was rabbi of Bamberg with his residence at Zeckendorf. His stay here was of short duration for he made many enemies through his violent temper and the self-assertion which he displayed in his new office; and it was in vain that his relative and subsequent successor warned him that he would endanger his position if he did not heed the views of the German scholars." Sometime around 1665 he resigned the rabbinate and had the time to compose this book. "Samuel's chief work to which he owes his general popularity appeared in Amsterdam 1667-68 under the title "Na alat Shib'ah" being a collection of formulas for all documents and records interspersed with thorough discussions of questions of civil and matrimonial laws in connection therewith. A second edition of this work with much supplementary matter appeared Frankfort-on-the-Main 1681 shortly before his death under the title "Mahadura Batra le-Sefer Na alat Shib'ah." After his decease the responsa written by him or addressed to him by others were published by his son Abraham. S. Orgelbrand Sons hardcover

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. On the editor: Moritz Steinschneider 1816 – 1907 was a Bohemian Orientalist and bibliographer. He received his early instruction in Hebrew from Jacob Steinschneider 1782 - 1856 his father who was not well versed in both Talmud and secular science. In order to show the part that Jews had taken in the general history of civilization Kulturgeschichte Steinschneider chose fields unrelated to Jewish religion and theology like mathematics medicine natural history and philology. He was the first scholar to give a systematic survey of Jewish literature till the end of the eighteenth century and to publish catalogues of the Hebrew manuscripts and books which are found in the public libraries of Europe. The Bodleian catalogue was the foundation of his reputation as the greatest Jewish bibliographer.
