178248885Berlin and Dessau: Hevrat Hinukh Ne‘arim Berlin Freischule/n.p. 1782. First editions 2 of 4. Hardcover. Nearly Fine. Sammelband of four opuscules published between 1782 and 1819 octavo. Contemporary half calf top inch perished over pastepaper boards; spine lettered and tooled in gilt. Edges speckled blue. Covers lightly worn else fine clean copies the fourth work lightly foxed throughout. The first three works issued from the Hevrat Hinukh Ne'arim Berlin Freischule under the supervision of Isaac Satanow 1732-1804 the most prolific Hebrew writer of the Berlin Haskalah. As director of the publishing house Satanow was assigned the task of reissuing old Hebrew classics by the Marpeh ha-Nefesh a philanthropic group headed by the banker Daniel Itzig his son-in-law David Friedländer and the famous physican and philosopher Marcus Herz. A number of these editions however were in fact original works by Satanow which he presented as the work of earlier writers. The first item in the sammelband is an outstanding example of this latter type.<br /> <br /> I. Kuntres mi-Sefer ha-Zohar Hibura Tinyana Berlin: Hevrat Hinukh Ne‘arim 1783. aleph-gimel8 dalet1; 25ff. Vinograd Berlin 313. First edition of this polemic styled in imitation of the Zohar as a response to the Mitpahat Sefarim 1768 of Jacob Emden 1697-1776 in which the latter calls into question the antiquity and textual integrity of that chief work of the Jewish mystical tradition. Emden's critique may be understood as an attempt to undermine the doctrinal foundation of the Frankists who based their beliefs on the Zohar. "Emden had suspected the authenticity of the Zohar for a long time and he hoped some time 'to reveal the strange things found in the book.' But these intentions were secretly nursed within him for many years until the time was propitious for his exposé" Cohen. Perhaps surprisingly for a maskil Satanow held a very different view: "While advocating secular knowledge and the study of science Satanow also expressed great admiration for Kabbalah. In contrast to Emden he claims that the whole Zohar was written by Bar Yohai and Moses De Leon had nothing to do with its writing. He also rejects Emden's claim that in the Zohar there are words against the Talmud and promises to 'consult the Zohar and prove that all its words are right and truthful none of them is crooked Kuntres mi-Sefer ha-Zohar pp. 25 26" N. Rezler-Bersohn. Born in the Polish now Ukrainian town of Satanov Isaac Satanow settled in Berlin around 1771. "Among the most prolific of the early Haskalah writers. Satanow demonstrated a wealth of knowledge of the Hebrew language ranking as a model stylest throughout the Haskalah period" EJ 14: 905-906. As a leading representive of the eighteenth-century Jewish Enlightement Satanow boldly displayed a "conglomeration of contrasts" Jewish Enc. XI: 71: “Though Orthodox in his beliefs he nevertheless favored Reform in practice. He was one of the greatest authorities on Jewish tradition and lore yet he was one of the most free-thinking of philosophers.†For a more detailed discussion of this and other works by Satanow see N. Rezler-Bersohn "Isaac Satanow - An Epitome of an Era" in: Year Book XXV Leo Baeck Institute 1980. For Emden in the present context see M. L. Cohen Jacob Emden A Man of Controversy Philadelphia: The Dropsie College 1937 pp. 254ff.<br /> <br /> II. Sefer Igeret ha-Kodesh Berlin 553 1793. 7ff. Vinograd Berlin 415. Later edition of this well-known work. The celebrated talmudist and exegete Nachmanides the Ramban Moses ben Nachman ca. 1195-ca. 1270 acted as a conciliator between the parties in the early 13th-century controversies surrounding the philosophical and secular direction of Maimonides' growing influence. "After having given the earlier part of his life to his Talmudical works Moses Nachmanides devoted himself to writing of a homiletic-exegetic and devotional character. To these belong the "Iggeret ha-Kodesh" and the "Torat ha-Adam." In the former which deals with the holiness and significance of marriage Moses criticizes Maimonides for stigmatizing as a disgrace to man certain of the desires implanted in the human body. In Moses' opinion the body with all its functions being the work of God none of its impulses can be regarded as intrinsically objectionable" Jewish Enc. IX:88. The rare editio princeps appeared at Rome in 1546; the editor of the present edition Isaac Satanow notes at the title that the letter was “printed in Basel in the year 5340†referring to the 1580 edition of Ambrosius Froben Prijs 127.<br /> <br /> III. Nevu’at ha-Yeled Berlin: Hevrat Hinukh Ne‘arim 549 1789. asterisk8 2asterisk2. 10 unnumbered leaves. Vinograd Berlin 384. Later edition of a medieval Hebrew short story with commentary first printed at the end of Jacob Zemah's Sefer Nagid u-Metzaveh Constantinople 1726. "The body of the tale is followed by a number of occult prophecies in Aramaic. it was known already as early as the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th when some kabbalists among them R. Abraham b. Eliezer ha-Levi wrote commentaries on the prophecies. The story tells of a wonder child Nahman born in the fifth century to a kabbalist; the child died very young but immediately upon birth began to tell his mother secrets of the heavenly worlds. His father cautioned him not to reveal mysteries forbidden to man and from then the child spoke only obscurely and enigmatically. Modern scholars have attempted to date the story and the prophecies therein by tracing known historical events hinted at and relating them to the text. The obscurity of the text makes this very difficult but it seems probable that historical events in the 15th century especially in the East are referred to in the prophecies. However the purpose of the story and its prophecies was to anticipate the coming of the Messiah and to describe the major political and historical events and catastrophes bringing about his final revelation. The kabbalists interpreted the prophecies as hinting at the coming of the Messiah in the early 16th century" JE XII:1020. Here the commentary on the Aramaic "prophecies" is likely attributable to Satanow.<br /> <br /> IV. Herev Nokemet Nekam Berit Dessau 5579 1819. 16pp. Vinograd Dessau 77. First edition of this famous polemical letter. A leader of the Reform movement Meyer Israel Bresselau d. 1839 together with I. S. Fraenkel edited and adapted in 1818 a prayer book for the Hamburg Reform Temple under the title Seder ha-Avodah. He anonymously published the present work in response to Eleh Divrei ha-Berit Altona 1819 "a pamphlet which collated the views of the greatest Orthodox rabbis of Western Europe against Reform Judaism and its innovations." A rhymed work written in a satirical biblical style Herev Nokemet is "remarkable in its witty take-off on the Orthodox rabbis who opposed the reforms in the Hamburg Reform synagogue. It ranks among the best Hebrew polemic literature written at the time of the Haskalah" EJ 4:1358 In response Meir Leib Reinitz published his Lahat ha-Herev ha-Mithappekhet in 1820. Bresselau's polemic was reprinted as an appendix to Bernfelds's Toledot ha-Reformazyon ha-Datit be-Yisrael in 1900. ×§×•× ×˜×¨×¡ מספר הזהר ×—×™×‘×•×¨× ×ª× ×™×™× ×<br /> ספר ×גרת הקדש<br /> × ×‘×•×ת הילד<br /> חרב × ×§×ž×ª × ×§× ×‘×¨×™×ª.

Howes The author was Provost over the Swedish congregation in America and pastor of the Church at Christina Wilmington Delaware from 1749 to 1756.

Anders Rudman pastor of the Swedish Lutheran congregation at Wicacoa from 1697 to 1701. Acrelius' account contains a history of the colonies under Swedish Dutch and English government with a general description of the land natural resources major towns &c. an ecclesiastical history from 1655 to 1697 with a list of the names of all the Swedish inhabitants of Pennsylvania in 1693 and an ecclesiastical history of the congregations at Wicacoa Christina Racoon and Pensneck. "This important work is hardly less scarce than that of Campanius.especially when in good condition; it has besides the merit of being much more extensive and of reproducing a large number of documents partly unpublished."
