L'Empire du Japon Tiré des Cartes des Japponois

171915847Amsterdam: François L'Honoré & Compagnie Libraries 1719. 440 by 520mm. 17.25 by 20.5 inches. Engraved map. Henri Chatelain's edition of Adrien Reland's important map of Japan 1715 including the place-names in phonetic Dutch. Reland's map of Japan represents a radical departure from prior European maps of Japan and is the first map printed in Japan to use Sino-Japanese characters. Instead of using the existing European geographical sources of Japan Reland utilized Japanese maps most notably a map from the library of Benjamin Dutry 1668-1751 a former director of the Dutch VOC. This was a tremendous leap forward in the geographical depiction of Japan such as in the treatment of Kyushu Island and in naming the 66 provinces. Large inset of the area around Nagasaki and an ornate dedication cartouche with about twenty coats of arms. Published in the fifth volume of the Châtelain family's 'Atlas historique ou Nouvelle introduction à l'Histoire à la Chronologie & à la Géographie Ancienne et Moderne' 1719 when eventually extended to 7 volumes. With an inset 'Vue de la Ville de Nangasacki & de l'ile'. Zacharie Châtelain d. 1723 was the father of Henri Abraham 1684-1743 and Zacharie Junior 1690-1754. They worked as a partnership publishing the 'Atlas' under several different Châtelain imprints depending on the Châtelain family partnerships at the time of publication. The atlas was published in seven volumes between 1705 and 1720 with a second edition appearing in 1732. The maps were accompanied by information pertaining to cosmography geography history chronology genealogy topography heraldry and costume of the world. The maps in the "Atlas Historique" were mainly based on those of the French cartographer Guillaume De L'Isle but were presented by the Châtelains in an encyclopaedia form. The accompanying text is in French and often is printed in two columns on the page with maps and other illustrations interspersed. Each map and table is numbered consecutively within its volume and all maps bear the privileges of the States of Holland and West-Friesland. Hubbard 73.

Le Temple de la Mecque avec une description exacte de tout ce qu’on y voit & des Ceremonies qu’on y fait tiré de la tradition des mahometans.

1719NL-02162This is Henri Chatelain's dramatic and detailed capture of the Haram or Sacred Precinct in Mecca—the holiest site in Islam. It provides a detailed view of the historic complex which draws millions of pilgrims annually. In the center of the view the quadratic black Kaaba dominates. According to Islamic tradition this complex stands on the remains of the first temple that Abraham and his son Ishmael built for God.In addition to the Kaaba several shrines and other buildings have been drawn in their relative positions and domed porticoes frame the enormous courtyard holding it all. In this manner the view almost takes on the character of a plan. Chatelain brings his view to life by including many worshippers within the complex.While the view of the Holy Precinct occupies the upper register of the print in the lower register we find two smaller vignettes depicting the various positions that Muslims assume during prayer. Between the vignettes is a text that includes a legend and key related to the larger view as well as an introduction to the Islamic faith and tradition.CensusThe copper-engraved view comes from Chatelain's seminal seven-volume Atlas Historique published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720. The atlas combines the finest engraving and cartographic craftsmanship with academic studies of geography history ethnology heraldry and cosmography and it was one of the most widely distributed atlases in the 18th century.Context is EverythingWhen Chatelain's detailed plan of Mecca was first published it was a true rarity. Few European travelers had ventured so profoundly into Arabia and the accounts of Muslims did not resonate broadly among the European intelligentsia at the time. Western Arabia particularly Mecca had been subjugated by the Ottoman Empire when Selim I defeated and dissolved the Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt. For centuries the Mamluks had controlled access to the sacred cities but now Barakat bin Muhammed the Sharif of Mecca was forced to acknowledge Ottoman supremacy. The only European to ever truly penetrate Mamluk Arabia was the Italian traveler Ludovico di Varthema who in 1502-03 visited Mecca with a Hajj caravan on his journey to India.But a French traveler truly opened Western Arabia to the world. The Parisian Jean Chardin 1643-1712 was a distinguished French traveler merchant and polyglot whose extensive travels in the Middle East and beyond significantly impacted the European understanding of Islam and its holy sites in the 18th century. Chardin spent eleven years exploring the Middle East where he gained access to the Persian court being appointed a royal merchant by Shah 'Abbas II. His journeys took him through Persia Turkey India and Georgia before he eventually settled in England. Among the most notable aspects of Chardin's voyages was his attempt to depict Islam's holy places particularly Mecca and Medina. His depictions were mainly based on information he acquired from Muslims who had performed the Hajj.Depictions of Islam's holiest sites were virtually non-existent in Europe at his time and Chardin's drawings constitute some of the earliest and best sources available. There is an unfinished manuscript plan of the Prophet's Tomb in Medina at the Royal Society in London. Still the more impactful image was Chardin's completed plan of the Kaaba precinct in Mecca. While this pioneering plan accurately captures the individual buildings and minarets including the colonnaded porticoes surrounding the central courtyard it also conflated elements from Medina and Mecca the circular colonnade around the Kaaba.Despite traveling with two professional artists including Grélot the drawings attributed to Chardin were most likely his work demonstrating his engagement with documenting his experiences. His detailed accounts and illustrations were later included in his publication Voyages en Perse et Autres Lieux de l'Orient the first volume published in 1686. Further volumes followed in 1711. These works were praised for their detailed observations and accuracy providing a valuable non-Persian perspective on the Safavid and Ottoman empires and it is clear that they were the source for Chatelain's view.Chardin's extensive travels and keen observations earned him a knighthood from Charles II of England for his services to the East India Company. His pioneering contributions remain crucial sources on Persia and Arabia's political history and cultural landscapes.Cartographer:Henri Abraham Chatelain 1684 – 1743 was a Protestant pastor Huguenot from Paris who due to his faith was forced to flee his native France. He settled first in London and later in Holland where he worked from both The Hague and Amsterdam during the early 18th century. While his primary calling was as a preacher his Atlas Historiquebecame a huge success partly due to the vivacious decoration and abundance of information on his charts.

Ma'aleh Bet Horin Ve-hu Seder Hagadah Shel Pesah/ Hagadah Shel Pesah ke-Minhag Ashkenazim ukhe-Minhag Sefaradim THIRD EDITION OF THE AMSTERDAM HAGGADAH MISSING THE MAP

178132033Amsterdam: Yaccov Proops 1781. Third edition. Hardcover. g-. Quarto. 2 52 double-sided leaves. Rebacked in modern brown leather spine over original period brown leather boards. 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. 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. 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. 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. Biding and interior in in good- condition overall.

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."

Mishneh Torah hu ha-Yad ha-Hazakah COMPLETE FOUR-VOLUME SET OF MAIMONIDES' MISHNEH TORAH

173927896Jessnitz Saxony-Anhalt: Bi-defus Yisrael bar Avraham 1739. Hardcover. Good. Four volumes folio published between 1739 and 1742. Woodcut printer's device at titles; woodcut endpieces in first volume. Hebrew text opens from right to left; leaf numbers in Hebrew characters. Hebrew chronograms yield Jewish dates of publication 5499-5502. Brown library buckram scuffed at extremities spines lettered in gilt. Endleaves renewed. A good set. See foliation and condition notes for each volume below. Scarce eighteenth-century edition of this seminal compendium of Jewish law halakhah. Compiled between 1170 and 1180 while Maimonides was living in Egypt the Mishneh Torah is regarded as the author's magnum opus. It is the only Medieval-era work that surveys the full panoply of Jewish observance including those laws that are only applicable when the Jerusalem Temple is in existence. The present edition is the first to contain Judah Rosanes' commentary Mishneh le-melekh. "Mishneh Torah" The Repetition of the Law is an appellation originally applied to the biblical book of Deuteronomy; the subtitle "ha-Yad ha-Hazakah" The Book of the Strong Hand plays on its subdivision into fourteen books: the numerical value fourteen is represented in Hebrew letters as Yud 10 Dalet 4 which forms the word "yad" hand. Maimonides sought to provide a complete statement of the Oral Law so that a person who mastered first the Written Torah and then the Mishneh Torah would be in no need of any other book. Contemporary reaction was mixed with strong and immediate opposition focusing on the absence of sources and the belief that the work appeared to be intended to supersede study of the Talmud itself. Maimonides responded to these criticisms and the Mishneh Torah endures as an influential work in Jewish religious thought. According to several authorities a decision may not be rendered in opposition to a view of Maimonides even where he apparently militated against the sense of a Talmudic passage for in such cases the presumption was that the words of the Talmud were incorrectly interpreted. Likewise: One must follow Maimonides even when the latter opposed his teachers since he surely knew their views and if he decided against them he must have disapproved their interpretation.

A highly controversial figure both during his lifetime and after his death he is generally acknowledged as the preeminent Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages. He was born in CÃ³rdoba 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 works include "Kitab al-Siraj" a commentary on the Mishnah "Kitab al-Fara'I" a book on precepts and the celebrated philosophical work "Dalalat al-Ha'irin" known in Hebrew as the "Moreh Nevukhim" The Guide to the Perplexed. In this latter work Maimonides attempted a 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. Bi-defus Yisrael bar Avraham hardcover
