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.<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.

1730320794Amsterdam: Henri Abraham Chatelain 1730. unbound. View. Uncolored engraving. Image measures 12" x 21.5". Handsome antique brown frame 18 3/4 x 21" not examined out of frame.<br/> <br/> This striking view by Henri Abraham Chatelain depicts the interior of the temple of Mecca. Features the interior prayer scene of the temple with a key below the map noting the locations mapped on the map. Issued in the 1730 edition of Chatelain's "Atlas Historique" one of the most widely distributed and lavishly illustrated work of its kind in the 18th century. Henri Abraham Chatelain 1684 - 1743 was a Dutch cartographer pastor best known for his seminal seven volume "Atlas Historique". This is a beautiful example of his work.<br/> <br/> Henri Abraham Chatelain unknown
1719NL-02162<p>This is Henri Chatelain's dramatic and detailed capture of the <em>Haram</em> 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p><strong>Census</strong></p><p>The copper-engraved view comes from Chatelain's seminal seven-volume <em>Atlas Historique</em> 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.</p><p><strong>Context is Everything</strong></p><p>When 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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 <em>Voyages en Perse et Autres Lieux de l'Orient</em> 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Cartographer:</p><p><strong>Henri Abraham Chatelain 1684 – 1743</strong> 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 <em>Atlas Historique</em>became a huge success partly due to the vivacious decoration and abundance of information on his charts.</p>
