Early ownership signature of Hannah Winslow. A small typed note on the front pastedown notes: "Bought Libbie Sale Jan. 24 & 25 1911." "In this travelogue and account of American Quaker practice Scott recounts how he traveled from his home in Rhode Island to congregations of Friends throughout the United States as they then existed before making an expedition to Europe to attend meetings in England Wales and Ireland. Though evocative place names are abundant travel-detail is limited. His diary is divided between his soul-searching and specific accounts of his experiences at various meetings. Although Scott often records feeling compelled to remain silent in these meetings he was a notable speaker and his writings although they became controversial after his death were highly influential" OCLC.

Two volumes large quarto. 52 544; 2 545-1232 63 indices 1 corrigendapp. Text in two columns with Hebrew text and facing Latin translation interspersed with commentary. Titles in red and black with engraved vignettes. Contemporary speckled calf; gilt-tooled spine with raised bands and morocco lettering pieces; gilt dentelles; edges daubed in red and green. Light scuffing to boards and fading to spines. A very good set with crisp clean text throughout.<br /> <br /> First edition of this comprehensive commentary to the biblical Book of Job by the Dutch scholar of Semitic languages Albert Schultens 1686-1750 who maintained "that the true nature of the Hebrew language and the meaning of many of its words and idioms are to be found chiefly in the Arabic" Orme. Fifty-five pages of the indices constitute a brief lexicon and provide Latin as well as Arabic equivalents for more than 1000 Hebrew words. Schultens studied theology and eastern languages at Groningen where he received his degree in theology in 1709. After a brief career as a preacher in Wassenaar he was nominated professor of Hebrew and Jewish antiquities at Franeker in 1713. In 1729 he decamped for Leiden were he was first appointed reader in eastern languages and finally full professor in 1732.<br /> <br /> At this time a chief concern of Calvinist theologians was to liberate Old Testament exegesis from the Jewish Rabbinic as well as Catholic traditions. Schultens' influential and controversial solution was revealed as early as 1706 in his first public thesis Disputatio theologico philologica de utilitate linguae Arabicae in interpretanda S. Scriptura A Theologico-Philosophical Dissertation on the Utility of the Arabic Language for the Interpretation of the Holy Scriptures "a forceful attack" Brugman & Schröder on the Protestant sola scriptura methodology of Biblical exegesis. "With the help of Jacobus Golius' Arabic dictionary he perused with zeal and fervour the Old Testament and wrote prolifically. The lexical superiority of Arabic had led him to a reconsideration of the position of Hebrew: at first he had called Arabic 'the most splendid daughter of mother Hebrew' but in his oration of 1729 he proclaimed Hebrew and Arabic cognate twin sisters. This shocked conservative theologians as an outright profanation of God's Word" Brugman & Schröder. "In 1737 he applied his theories in his bilingual edition of the book of the prophet Job whom he regarded as an Arab. The Hebrew text and the Latin translation are all but totally submerged by the extensive commentary in which Schultens draws abundantly on Arabic texts such as the Hamasa an anthology of early Arabic poetry by the ninth-century poet Abu Tammam" Vrolijk & van Leeuwen. Schultens was not without his critics and by 1824 William Orme notes a turning of the tide: "Different opinions are entertained of the correctness of his views and also of his success in applying them; but it is now generally admitted that he carries his notions of the advantage of Arabic learning to the interpretation of the Scriptures too far." <br /> <br /> Jean Luzac 1728-1777 was a member of a well-known Huguenot family of printers; he published many works for the University of Leiden including three Hebrew books of Albert Schultens. Isaac van der Mijn is noted as the printer at the colophon of the second volume.<br /> <br /> Provenance: printed label of the Bibliotheca Seminarii Warmondani at the front endleaf of the first volume.

A touch of rubbing at the extremities else fine copies handsomely bound.<br /> <br /> First editions of these French-language paraphrases of the books of Ecclesiastes and Job. It includes an essay on the urim and thummim the Hebrew terms first appearing in the biblical book of Exodus that had been and are interpreted to refer to elements of the breastplate of the High Priest. Hardouin argues that the words refer to nothing material and solid and mean ‘lights’ and ‘perfections’. The text of the Latin Vulgate is printed at the side-margins alongside Hardouin’s French-language versions of the biblical texts with notes in French below. The chapters of Ecclesiastes also have French-language introductions. The French Jesuit Hardouin 1646-1729 who was the son of a bookseller is a very interesting scholar because he developed an extreme view on literary forgery. He held for example that most of the Greco-Roman classics had been written in the thirteenth century. References: Conlon 29: 531; 530. De Backer & Sommervogel 4:104 nos. 85; 86.
