Gilt lettering and ruling on the spine. Modern endpapers. Profusely illustrated throughout with copperplate engravings. Includes both an initial illustrated title page with copperplate engravings surrounding the text Ma'aleh Bet Horin and a printed title page with decorative woodblock borders and the publisher's device. In addition to the Hebrew text a few sections throughout are in Judeo-German Yiddish printed in Vaybertaytsh script.<br /> <br /> This third edition of the famous Amsterdam Haggadah found the work reformatted into a smaller size and saw the title officially changed to Maleh Beit Horin meaning "house free men". Most of the same famous copperplate engravings by Abraham ben Jacob aka Abraham bar Yaccov that previously appeared in the 1695 and 1712 editions are retained here. The two images added to the 1712 second edition are included the illustrated order of the Seder and the complete ten plagues but four of the full series of images included in the first two editions are not present. These missing images are Abraham smashing the idols of his father Moses receiving the Ten Commandments a Mount Sinai Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh and the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. In our copy the engraved title and three other other engravings contain contemporary hand-coloring the rabbis of Bene Brak the Four Sons the angels visiting Abraham. <br /> <br /> The text of this third edition replaces the complete running commentary from Isaac Abravanel of the earlier editions with 3 additional text commentaries. These include the "Gevurot Hashem" from the Maharal of Prague Judah Loew ben Bezalel writings by Rabbi Moshe Alshich and "Olelot Ephraim" a collection of ethical homilies by Rabbi Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz. However Abravanel's commentary is present following Yishtabach through the end of the Seder and in the initial six-leaf section preceding the text of the Passover seder which discusses the laws of Passover.<br /> <br /> This copy is lacking the original engraved map of the Holy Land at the rear as it was originally issued. Binding with some rubbing and abrasions to the original boards and spine. Interior with heaving staining to pages throughout with text still legible.

172032296Amsterdam: Henri Abraham Chatelain 1720. Other. In two sheets. In excellent condition. Lightstained outside of the image of the map see illustration. 380 by 880mm 15 by 34¾ inches. A beautiful example of Henri Chatelain's important 1720 map of Java. The map was produced for Chatelains 7 volume world atlas out of Amsterdam. Covers the island in full as well as adjacent parts of Sumatra and Bali. The volcanic island of Krakatau here identified as Cracatao which nearly 150 years later would erupt with devastating consequences appears in the Strait of Sunda between Java and Sumatra. In the lower left side is an inset details the city and port of Batavia. Henri Abraham Chatelain 1684 - 1743 was a Huguenot pastor of Parisian origins. He lived consecutively in Paris St. Martins London c. 1710 The Hague c. 1721 and Amsterdam c. 1728. He is best known as a Dutch cartographer and more specifically for his cartographic contribution in the seminal seven volume Atlas Historique published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720. Innovative for its time the Atlas Historique combined fine engraving and artwork with scholarly studies of geography history ethnology heraldry and cosmography. Some scholarship suggests that the Atlas Historique was not exclusively compiled by Henri Chatelain as is commonly believed but rather was a family enterprise involving Henri his father Zacharie and his brother also Zacharie.

Old divinity school stamp on title minor foxing but a very good copy very neatly bound. First edition. The pseudonymously published prelude to Tucker's magnum opus THE LIGHT OF NATURE PURSUED. This "1763 fragment was strongly criticized in the MONTHLY REVIEW to which Tucker provided a humorous reply MAN IN QUEST OF HIMSELF under the new pseudonym Cuthbert Comment. In 1768 again using the pseudonym Edward Search he published the first four volumes of his book; the last three volumes were posthumously published under the editorship of his daughter Judith in 1778 . Although an occasionally eccentric and digressive text THE LIGHT OF NATURE PURSUED enjoyed a high reputation from its first appearance. In the introduction to his MORAL AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY 1785 William Paley emphasized his deep indebtedness to Tucker in expounding his ethical theory. Paley considered Tucker to be a very original thinker. His work was also highly praised by Sir James MacIntosh who had used his ideas in his lectures on ethics ." - DNB. Tucker's writings were also read and admired by among others Coleridge Godwin and Hazlett and the latter undertook an abridgement of the full work published in 1807.

BIRTH OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY FIRST EDITION! Abraham Trembley 1710-1784 Scientist Philosopher and Pioneer of Experimental Zoology from Geneva discovered the regenerative powers of the polyp and photosensitivity in an animal without eyes and he was the first to witness cell-division anddiscovered Hydra. Trembley was the first person to show that certain animals can be artificially multiplied by Division the first to make permanent grafts on animal tissues the first to prove by rigorous experiment that asexual reproduction by budding occurs in animals and the first to witness cell-division: he also discovered the process by which Protozoa multiply. These are only a few of his contributions to biological knowledge. A large part of his research was concerned with the little fresh-water polyp hydra an animal of particular importance today because it is one of the standard "types" used all over the world in teaching elementary biology to students of science medicine and agriculture. At the time of publication the immediate philosophical repercussions were even more startling animal soul was clearly shown to be material. The heterogenetic origin of life seemed to be confirmed. Bonnet suggested that the polyp bridged the animal and vegetable kingdoms nullifying their supposedly complete separation. Later he declared the polyp to be the key to the interpretation of nature.
