A publishing catalog for the small publishing firm founded by famed Jewish philosopher, Simon Rawidowicz in 1922.

RARE reprint from The Journal of the Palestine Oriental Society of a thoroughly documented study of the cults, shrines ('awlia) and sanctuaries (maqamat) of Muslim saints, a major contribution to the ethnography of Arab Palestine (especially popular Islam and popular religion in Palestine) by Tawfiq Canaan (1882-1964), a pioneering physician, ethnographer and Palestinian nationalist. Besides being a major medical researcher and the first President of the Palestine Arab Medical Association, the director of several Jerusalem area hospitals before, during, and after the 1948 war, he wrote several books and more than 50 articles on the subject of Palestinian folklore in English and German, which serve as valuable resources to researchers of Palestinian and Middle Eastern heritage. Tawfiq was also a collector of over 1,400 amulets and talismans held to have healing and protective qualities, and upon publishing analyses of these objects, and other popular folk traditions and practices, he was recognized already in his lifetime as a major ethnographer and anthropologist. Contains also a Hebrew title-page, though the book is in English. 215x140mm. VIII+331 pages. Softcover. Cover and spine slightly rubbed. Cover and pages upper corner slightly bumped/wrinkled.

Prima edizione di questa celebre opera dedicata alla storia della distruzione del tempio di Gerusalemme narrata sull'Arco di Tito a Roma, scritto del famoso orientalista, cartografo e filologo olandese, Adriaan Reland (noto anche come Adriaen Reeland / Reelant, Hadrianus Relandus) (17 luglio 1676, De Rijp, Olanda Settentrionale - 5 febbraio 1718, Utrecht) al quale viene riconosciuto di aver dato uno dei primi e più importanti contributi alla geografia storica della Palestina antica. Studente precoce già a 11 anni iniziò lo studio del latino. Nel 1693 si iscrisse all'Università di Utrecht studiando teologia e filosofia. Inizialmente interessato al siriaco e all'ebraico, approfondì in seguito, anche lo studio della lingua araba. Nel 1699 ottenne il dottorato e nello stesso anno ottenne la cattedra di fisica e metafisica all'Università di Harderwijk. A quest'epoca era in grado di esprimersi fluidamente in arabo, ebraico e diverse al tre lingue semitiche. Nel 1701, all'età di 25 anni, fu nominato professore di lingue orientali all'Università di Utrecht. A partire dal 1713, insegnò anche antichità ebraiche e le sue lezioni ebbero tale successo che venne istituita, appositamente per lui, una cattedra di Antichità ebraiche. Reland è diventato famoso per i suoi studi riguardanti la linguistica islamica. Oggi il suo lavoro è considerato come uno dei primi esempi di linguistica comparata. Studioso di persiano, fu interessato alle relazioni dei miti orientali con l'Antico Testamento. A lui si deve la scoperta del collegamento tra la lingua malese ed i dizionari del Pacifico occidentale elaborati da Willem Schouten e Jacob Le Maire. La sua opera “De religione Mohamme dica libri duo” edita nel 1705, è considerata la prima indagine obiettiva sulle credenze e le pratiche islamiche. Appassionato lettore della Bibbia si interessò attivamente all'identificazione della posizione geografica dei luoghi in essa descritti che lo portò, di conseguenza, anche ad interessarsi di archeologia e geografia palestinese. A lui si devono due testi chiave sull'argomento come il “Antiquitates Sacrae veterum Hebraeorum” (1708) ed il “Palaestina ex monumentis veteribus illustrata” (1714). Lo studio qui presentato è un dotto trattato sulla storia narrata sull'Arco di Tito dove oltre alla distruzione del tempio, viene narrata la consistenza dell'enorme tesoro che in esso era contenuto e che venne portato a Roma durante il “Trionfo” dell'imperatore Tito nel 71 A. c. dopo la fine delle Guerre Giudaiche. Prima edizione, in buone condizioni di conservazione. Rif. Bibl.: Brunet IV: 1204.

Selig Schachnowitz (1874-1952), noted neo-Orthodox journalist and writer. In 1908, at the invitation of Agudat Israel in Germany, he became editor of Der Israelit, a post he held for 30 years until the journal was closed down by the Nazis in 1938. He escaped to Switzerland, taking up residence in Zurich, where he continued his public and literary work until his death. Following a visit to Israel in 1931, he wrote "Zwischen Ruinen und Aufbau in Erez-Israel", which praised agricultural settlement and expressed strong reservations about the lack of religious observance in the new Israel. He was a prolific writer and although his various publicistic works were of a religious propagandist nature, many were of a high literary standard and attracted numerous readers. For a review of Schachnowitz's travelogue in Palestine, see Wolf Kaise: "Palästina, Erez Israel" (Doctoral Thesis, Berlin, 1988).

Original paper wrappers rebound in period boards. 8vo. 32 pages. 16 cm. In Hebrew. Hitler-era Lithuanian Yiddish edition of this Zionist Classic, Auto-Emancipation. Pinkser (1821-1891) born in Odessa, was originally an advocate of Haskalah enlightenment and assimilation for Russian Jews. However, after the pogrom of 1881, he became a Zionist. As such, he led the organization Hibbat Zion, supported emigration to a Jewish homeland, and published his famous book, Auto-emancipation. Originally published anonymously, this work analyzed the psychological and social roots of antisemitism and called for the establishment of a Jewish national center. Though Pinsker did not originally wish to endorse Palestine as the only possibility for the Jewish homeland, towards the end of his life, he was convinced that it was the only workable option.

1st Separate Edition. Original Wrappers. 12mo. 5 pages ; 16 cm. Printed as a tri-fold pamphlet with text on every page but the cover. Reprinted from the New York Evening Post (December 12, 1917) by the Zionist Organization of America. Published the year after the FAZ was renamed and Zionist Organization of America is printed on the title page. In 1909 Friedlander became the founding president of Young Judaea, an amalgam of several Zionist youth groups. In 1912, together with Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, a professor of homiletics and philosophy of religion at the Jewish Theological Seminary, he guided young Jewish adults in combating assimilation into secular American society or Reform circles. These efforts resulted in a popular lecture series, which were a predecessor of the Young Israel movement to combat the wave of assimilation by Jews .He was part of the Governing Board of the Intercollegiate Menorah Society, the Executive Committee of Bureau of Education of the Jewish Community of New York City and the Executive Committee of the Federation of American Zionists. He was known for his ardent support of Zionism. In 1918, Friedlander was invited to travel to Mandate Palestine as the Jewish representative of a Red Cross relief mission. In January 1920, Friedlander traveled to Poland as part of a four-member commission of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to distribute $35 million to starving Jews in Poland and Ukraine. The US State Department gave its permission for the trip, but would not issue passports or afford any protection to the commission members. On July 5, Friedlander and Rabbi Bernard Cantor were murdered by soldiers of the Red Cavalry near Kamenetz-Podolsk, Ukraine (Wikipedia, 2018).
