These two volumes collect some of the most influential and important scholarly essays by the late Morton Smith (1915-1991) , for many years Professor of Ancient History at Columbia University in New York City. Smith was admired and feared for his extraordinary ability to look at familiar texts in unfamiliar ways, to re-open old questions, to pose new questions, and to demolish received truths. He practiced the "hermeneutics of suspicion" to devastating effect. His answers are not always convincing but his questions cannot be ignored. The essays of Volume I center on the Hebrew Bible ("Old Testament") , Ancient Israel and Ancient Judaism, of Volume II on the Christian Bible ("New Testament") , Early Christianity and Ancient Magic. Volume II also contains an assessment of Smith's scholarly achievement and a complete list of his publications. Ex-library with minimal markings, Very Good Condition, very clean. (KH-4-2)‎

‎(FT) 8vo. 263 pages. In Hebrew. Volume four (of four) only. Born into poverty in Russia, Smolenskin (1840 or 42-1885) was a writer and editor, and an early Jewish nationalist. In He founded and edited the monthly Ha-Shahar from 1868 until his death. Beginning in his yeshiva days, he was a proponent of Haskalah; interest in secular topics and Russian literature at first caused him no small amount of trouble. His first novel, Simhat Hanef, was written in the late 1860s. After travels through Europe, Ha-Shahar was founded in Vienna, and it proved to be the most effective mouthpiece of the Haskalah movement there, as well as a platform for early Jewish Nationalist thought. "From the outset Smolenskin conceived the journal as an instrument to make the Jewish people increasingly aware of its terrible plight and strengthen its internal resources, fostering at the same time the spread of a genuine enlightenment and a broad culture. Above all, the journal epitomized Smolenskin's passionate loyalty to the Hebrew language and Hebrew literature, which he regarded as the real foundations of Jewish nationalism and a substitute for national territory as long as the nation lacked a state.

Some sections of the book are very old, though others were written or translated from other languages as late as the seventh until the tenth century.
