174042573Amsterdam: No Publisher Listed 1740. Hardback. 2nd edition. Period Vellum binding 12mo 132 leaves; 17 cm. In Hebrew. Mayer Sulzberger's copy with his bookplate. Like the Mishnah Mishnat Hasidim is arranged in "Sedarim" which are divided into "massechtot" and subdivided into "perakim." With an introduction entitled: Olam Katan. Includes index. Title-page has ornamental border. <br> Raphael Immanuel ben Abraham Hai Ricchi 1688-1743 was an "Italian rabbi cabalist and poet.After having studied Talmud under Nathan Pinkerle rabbi of Alessandria della Paglia Ricchi became tutor in the houses of several wealthy Jews. He was thus successively employed at Göritz Fiorenzuola Finale in Modena and Venice; in the last-named place he opened a school. He then went to Triest where he was ordained rabbi in 1717 by Hillel Ashkenazi rabbi of Canea after which he was invited to the rabbinate of Görz.<br> Owing to his great love for cabalistic studies and to his ascetic tendencies Ricchi resolved to settle in Palestine. He arrived at Safed in 1718 and during his stay there of two years he occupied himself with the study of the works of Isaac Luria and Hayyim Vital. He was also reordained rabbi by Hayim Abulafia. In 1720 an epidemic broke out in Palestine and Ricchi was compelled to return to Europe. <br> On the voyage he and all his fellow passengers were captured by pirates and brought to Tripolitza whence through the efforts of Abraham Halfon Ricchi and his family were allowed to return to Italy. He then occupied the rabbinate of Florence till 1723 in which year he removed to Leghorn where for twelve years he engaged in business as a merchant. He spent twenty months in travel visiting Smyrna Salonica Constantinople Amsterdam and London and in 1735 set out for Palestine spending two years at Aleppo and three at Jerusalem. In 1741 he returned to Leghorn and in 1743 while traveling in Italy for the purpose of selling his works he was killed by robbers who buried his body by the shore of the Reno. Six days later some Modena Jews discovered the remains and brought them to Cento for burial.<br> Ricchi's most important work is the above-cited 'Mishnat Hasidim' a cabalistic work begun in 1726 at Leghorn. <br> Like the Mishnah it is arranged in orders 'sedarim' which are divided into treatises 'massektot' and subdivided into chapters 'peraim' the names of the six Mishnah orders being taken in a cabalistic sense. But the chief divisions of the work are three termed 'mafteot' besides the introduction entitled ''Olam Kaon' = 'microcosmos' in which Ricchi endeavors to popularize the Cabala. <br> The first main division is the 'Maftea ha-'Olamot' in which the worlds are treated. It contains: 1 the order of Zera'im treating of the cabalistic cosmology and of metaphysics and divided into seven massektot and eighteen chapters; 2 the order Kodashim treating of the realm of emanation 'olam ha-azilut' which is styled 'the holy of holies' and containing twenty massektot and seventy-eight chapters; 3 the order ohorot treating of the three other realms namely those of creative ideas 'beri'ah' creative formations 'yezirah' and creative matter 'asiyah' and divided into nine massektot and twenty-seven chapters; and 4 the order Nezikin treating of the demons and 'kelifot' and divided into six massektot and seventeen chapters. <br> The second main division entitled 'Maftea ha-Neshamot' contains the order Nashim treating of souls in twelve massektot and forty-eight chapters. The third main division entitled 'Mafteah ha-Kawwanot' contains the order Mo'ed divided into fifty-eight massektot and 371 chapters and treating of the Kawwanah. It will be seen that the number of massektot in this work is 112 corresponding to the numerical value of the sacred name ; and the number of chapters 547 equal to the numerical value of Ricchi's name plus twelve the number of its letters. <br> The sources for this work besides the Zohar are mostly Isaac Luria's and Hayyim Vital's writings of which the 'Sefer ha-Gilgulim' 'Kanfe Yonah' and 'Shulhan 'Aruk' may be particularly mentioned. Ricchi drew also from other cabalists" M. Seligsohn in JE 1905.<br> NYU houses their copy in the Mitchell M. Kaplan Collection of Rare Judaica and Hebraica. Aviva Ben-Ur's Ladino catalog list #14.

Abraham a S. Clara Weyland Augustiner Baarfusser und Kayserl. Prediger: Und mit saubern Kupfern geziert/Mit Erlaubnis der ObernAuthor: Abraham a Sancta Clara - Abraham a Sancta Clara Austrian divine was born at Kreenheinstetten near Messkirch. His lay name was Johann Ulrich Megerle Not to be confused with his uncle Abraham Megerle de composer 1607-1680 . He has been described as "a very eccentric but popular Augustinian monk." In 1662 he joined the Catholic religious order of Discalced Augustinians and assumed the religious name by which he is known. In this order he rose step by step until he became prior provincialis and definitor of his province. Having early gained a great reputation for pulpit eloquence he was appointed imperial court preacher at Vienna in 1669. The people flocked to hear him attracted by the force and homeliness of his language the grotesqueness of his humour and the impartial severity with which he lashed the follies of all classes of society and of the court in particular. In general he spoke as a man of the people the predominating quality of his style being an overflowing and often coarse wit. There are however many passages in his sermons in which he rises to loftier thought and uses more dignified language. He died at Vienna on 1 December 1709. In his published writings he displayed many of the same qualities as in the pulpit. Perhaps the most favorable specimen of his style is his didactic novel entitled "Judas der Erzschelm" 4 vols. Salzburg 1686-1695. His works have been several times reproduced in whole or in part though with many spurious interpolations. The best edition is that published in 21 vols. At Passau and Lindau 1835-1854. See Th. G von Karajan "Abraham a Sancta Clara" Vienna 1867 ; Blanckenburg "Studien uber die Sprache Abrahams a S. C." Halle 1897 ; "Sexto Abraham a S. C."

Kromayer here labors somewhat in the shadow of his contemporary the Dutch orientalist Albert Schultens a great pioneer of such comparative studies in the Semitic tongues especially Arabic in the interest of biblical exegesis.

Zurich native Johann George Sulzer was a well-established member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences and Belle-Lettres who published widely on the appreciation of art. Sulzers influence on aesthetic theory was well known within theoretical circles in late eighteenth century Berlin. Owing to the work of Descartes particularly his Passions of the Soul 1649 Sulzers work on the origins of pleasure aimed to initiate a move toward moral psychology and ethical theory within studies of the mind. Sulzer focused on the derivation of joy and gladness in the model of a Cartesian system; simply it opposed the idea of Hedonism which believed pleasure was the sole aim of humankind. Instead Sulzers theories supported a metaphysical experience within ones own cognitive condition. Sulzers work supplements the great accomplishment of many of his near contemporary theorists who contributed to the study of emotions Descartes Hobbes Malebranche and Spinoza. His work preceded that of Kants division of the mind into pleasure or pain and who with later Kant outwardly disagreed with the weakness of the proofs promulgated by Sulzer. Abraham Gotthelf Kästner was a German poet and mathematician also a devout Lutheran. He was known in his professional life for compiling and reflecting on content for textbook study. Kästner translated and revised this Sulzers theoretical work on pleasure showcasing his encyclopedic interests but remains better known for his contributions on the history of mathematics and his various epigrams. hardcover

About the author: Campegius Vitringa 1659-1722 was a Dutch Protestant theologian and Hebraist. A follower of Johannes CocceiusVitringa was a supporter of prophetic theology. He was educated at the universities of Franeker and Leiden and became professor of Oriental languages at the former in 1681. When locating prophetic outcomes he would associate events to the near rather than the far-off future placing a distinct focus on the period of the Maccabees 2nd Century BC. Like Joseph Mede 1586-1638 Vitringa believed wholeheartedly that the Millennium was yet to come but did not expect any immediate changes. He relegated the end of the time to a remote future and strongly emphasized the concept of New Jerusalem From Wikipedia. Ex Officina Wibii Bleck hardcover

He was famed for his rich mezzotints which he exhibited in London between 1766 and 1778. Watts scraped mezzotints after some of the most renowned artists of his day but he had a special penchant for works by the Dutch masters such as this handsome pair after Abraham Hondius the celebrated Dutch animal painter. These rich mezzotints are a superb example of Watts's luxurious style of engraving translating the energy and fluidity of Hondius's beautiful paintings into a dramatic example of superior mezzotint engraving.<br/> <br/> Benezit Dictionnaire Des Peintres Sculpteurs Dessinateurs et Graveurs.
