‎ERSTE AUSGABE. - Der Band enthält 311 Briefe, "die Betty Scholem (1966-1946) und ihr Sohn Gershom (1897-1982) in den nahezu 30 Jahren ihrer Trennung miteinander gewechselt haben. Die Mutter schreibt bis 1939 - sofern sie nicht gerade im Ausland ist - von Berlin aus, dann, nach ihrer Emigration, aus Australien; der Sohn schreibt bis 1923 von seinen Studienorten in der Schweiz und Deutschland; seit 1923 aus Jerusalem. Betty Scholem berichtet nicht von den großen historischen Ereignissen, allenfalls ist von ihnen die Rede, wo sie das Leben der Familie berühren; ähnliches gilt für die Briefe des Sohnes: Beide erzählen von ihren Lebensumständen, vom Alltag. Aber gerade deswegen ist der Briefwechsel ein einzigartiges Dokument jüdisch-deutscher Geschichte." (Umschlag). Mit Kommentar, Zeittafel, Auswahlbibliographie und Namenregister. - Itta Shedletzky (geb. 1943 in Zürich), Dozentin für Deutsche Literatur an der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem. - Thomas Sparr (geb. 1957 in Hamburg), Lehrtätigkeit an der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem und an der Universität Hamburg. - Umschlagentwurf: Uwe Göbel, München.‎

‎THE CAREER OF A FRANKIST : MOSES DOBRUSCHKA AND HIS METAMORPHOSES [INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR]‎

‎Original Wrappers. [v]-viii, [127]-181 (ie 4 + 55 pages) ; 22 cm. Chiefly in Hebrew, summary in English with title pages in both languages. Offprint from: Zion : quarterly for research in Jewish history, V. 35. This copy is inscribed by the Scholem on the front cover. “Frankism, a Jewish religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on the leadership of the Jewish Messiah claimant Jacob Frank, who lived from 1726 to 1791. At its height it claimed perhaps 50, 000 followers, primarily Jews living in Poland and other parts of Eastern Europe. Unlike traditional Judaism, which provides a set of detailed guidelines called halakha that are scrupulously followed by observant Jews and regulate many aspects of life, Frank claimed that ‘all laws and teachings will fall’ and following antinomianism asserted that one's most important personal obligation of every person was the transgression of every boundary. ” (Wikipedia, 2016) In this publication, Scholem tells the story of Moses Dobruska, a first cousin once removed of Jacob Frank (and Frankist himself) , who was also an active Jacobin during the French Revolution. Dobruska changed his name twice during his life (first to Schönfeld, and then to Frey) because of his various political and religious beliefs. He was executed by guillotine for treason and espionage during the Revolution on 5 April 1794. Scholem, who published several works on Frankism throughout his life, inscribed this copy, “With Blessings and Friendship, G. Scholem. ” Also inserted is a return address from the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, which is also signed by the Scholem, indicating that the package was sent from him at the Academy. SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- Austria -- Biography. Jacobins -- France -- Biography. Some wear to wrappers. Overall very good condition. (AMR-48-36A)‎

‎JEWISH GNOSTICISM, MERKABAH MYSTICISM, AND TALMUDIC TRADITION‎

‎Hardcover, 8vo, 136 pages, 24 cm. Edition: 2d improved ed. SUBJECT (S) : Mysticism -- Judaism. Judaisme. Merkavah-mystiek. Gnosticisme. Talmoed. Based on the Israel Goldstein lectures, delivered at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, New York. Includes bibliographical references. Scholem (1898-1982) was “the most important scholar of Jewish mysticism and a towering figure in Jewish intellectual life. Born to an assimilated family in Berlin, he was attracted in his youth to Judaism and Zionism and studied major Hebrew Jewish texts and Kabbalah by himself. After completing a Ph. D. Thesis in 1923 on Sefer ha-Bahir, he arrived in Israel, and taught at the Hebrew University, becoming the first professor to devote all his studies and teaching to the topic of Jewish mysticism. His achievement in surveying all the major stages and writings belonging to this topic is staggering. In the difficult times of the 1920s and 1930s, he traveled to all the major European libraries and systematically studied all the available manuscripts. In 1939 he delivered a series of lectures in New York, which became the first comprehensive analysis of the historical and phenomenological aspects of the entire range of Jewish mysticism: Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism, which is also his most influential and widely read book. Building upon his perusal of manuscripts, he published from the mid-1920s a series of articles in Hebrew in which he identified many anonymous manuscripts, and from 1948, a series of analyses about the beginning of Kabbalah. In its most elaborated form, it appeared in English posthumously as Origins of the Kabbalah, translated by A. Arkush and edited by R. Z. J. Werblowsky. Alongside those studies he identified, published, and analyzed in detail the main documents pertinent to Shabbateanism, and in 1957, he published in Hebrew the most important synthesis of the historical and religious aspects of the Shabbatean movement in the lifetime of Shabbetai ? Evi. From 1948, Scholem was a permanent participant in the Eranos encounters in Ascona, Switzerland, where he lectured and interacted with the major scholars of religion of his generation, such as Carl G. Jung, Mircea Eliade, and Henry Corbin. In 1972 he formulated his last summary of his understanding of Kabbalah in the various entries he contributed to Encyclopedia Judaica, which were collected in the volume Kabbalah. Scholem was widely recognized as the leading scholar in Judaica in the 20th century and was accorded numerous prizes and honorary titles, among them the Israel Prize, the Bialik Prize, and the Rothschild Prize, and served as the head of the Israeli Academy of Science and Humanities. He wrote an autobiography, From Berlin to Jerusalem, and corresponded with many persons, including Walter Benjamin. His rich library is indubitably the best one in the field of Jewish mysticism, and it became part of the Jewish National and University Library, serving as a major resource for studies in the field. A catalogue raisonne of his library has been printed in two volumes, edited by Joseph Dan and Esther Liebes, The Library of Gershom Scholem on Jewish Mysticism” (Idel in EJ. 2007) . Light wear. Lightly bumped corners. Otherwise, very good condition. (Rab-40-6)‎
