The construction of the building was possible thanks to the Administrator General and Official receiver of the State of Israel who handed over the proceeds received from the sale of the Synagogue in Shanghai and through the generous donations from the former residents of China in Israel and all over the world. The building was set thanks to the great devotion extended by the President of the Building Committee Mr. M. A. Zaigraeff. The inauguration of the skeleton of the building took place on the 20th August 1959. The inauguration of the opening of the building took place on 6th September 1961. Architects & Building plans: Mr. G. Rabinovitch Mr. A. Kahane Aron Kodesh."

1901214540Stockholm.: C. E. Fritze's Royal Library. 1901. 26 pages 27.7 x 19.3 cms original green cloth boards gilt-stamped title slight toning to the text block but in very good condition. Scarce work by Swedish physician veterinarian and zoologist Johan Gustaf Hjalmar Kinberg 1820-1908.

This work is his noble attempt no doubt prompted by the voyage to offer a simplified transcription for Japanese and Chinese characters following the work of J. J. Hoffman 1868 and Georg V. D. Gabelentz 1881. Fine letterpress renderings of the characters text in English. <br> <br>We can trace only a handful of library holdings worldwide. . C. E. Fritze's Royal Library hardcover

1710J072O. O., Dr., J. (um 1710). Verbot der chinesischen Riten - Erste und einzige Ausgabe der Schrift über die Kontroverse Chinesischer Riten und religiösen Gebräuche, der "Causae Sinensis" bzw. den "Chinesischen Ritenstreit", der zwischen 1610 und 1744 die christliche Mission in China und Indien bestimmte. Meist waren es Jesuiten gewesen, die missionierten und 1610 die Akkomodation durchsetzten, nach der die zum Christentum bekehrten Chinesen die Riten und Zeremonien ihrer traditionellen Religionen beibehalten durften (Ahnenverehrung etc.). Im Jahre der Entstehung des vorliegenden Breve gab es - vor allem aufgrund der Akkomodation - etwa eine Drittel Million bekennender Christen in China. Papst Clemens XI. (1649-1721) hatte auf Drängen des Missionars im Jahre 1704 ein Edikt zum Verbot der Ausübung chinesischer Riten in den missionierten Ländern erlassen. Etwas knapp beschnitten, sonst kaum Gebrauchsspuren, sehr schönes, wohlerhaltenes und sauberes Exemplar. Titel mit hs. Besitzvermerk des einstigen Jesuitenkloster in Olmütz: "Loci Capucinorum Olomuicij". - Außergewöhnlich selten.Nicht bei Cordier.
