Wessely, Naphtali Herz. Includes biography of author by David Friedrichsfeld.
SHIRE TIF'ERET: HIBUR KOLEL SHISHAH HALAKIM
(FT) Hardcover, 8vo, 60, 84, 10, 90, 16, 108, 112, 120 pages, 6 parts in 1 volume, 19cm. In Hebrew. Vocalized text. Wessley (1725-1805) was a Haskalah poet, linguist, and exegete. Wesselys ancestors had fled Poland during the Chmielnicki pogroms and settled in Wesel on the Rhine, from where the family took its name. Born in Hamburg, Wessely spent his childhood in Copenhagen, where his father was a purveyor to the king of Denmark. He received his religious education at the yeshivah of Jonathan Eybeschuetz, who influenced him greatly, and read literature and scientific works in a number of European languages, Associated with the Feitel Bank, Wesselys business affairs took him to Amsterdam and Berlin. In Berlin he met Moses Mendelssohn and contributed a commentary on Leviticus to the Biur. Wessely began his literary career with the Hebrew translation of the apocryphal work Wisdom of Solomon, to which he appended a brief commentary, later elaborated into a full-length exegesis, Ruah Hen. He pioneered in the revival of biblical Hebrew, and his translation, written in the vivid and lofty style of the Scriptures, prompted later Haskalah writers to translate apocryphal works into biblical Hebrew. The linguistic problems he encountered led to a number of philological works such as Gan Naul, a work on Hebrew synonyms and roots, and Yein Levanon, a commentary on the mishnaic tractate Avot, which also concentrates on linguistic aspects. While Wesselys focus is often linguistic, his exegesis shows also wide knowledge and learning, and his commentaries were well received by orthodox scholarship. He is, however, mainly known as a poet Shirei Tiferet is the major literary work of the German Haskalah and as a pioneer in education and an advocate of the Enlightenment through his Divrei Shalom ve-Emet, a call in support of the Edict of Tolerance of Joseph II of Austria (Barzilay in EJ, 2007). OCLC: 970833389. OCLC lists 5 copies worldwide (UCLA, Lib of Congress, JTS, Toronto, Brandeis) . Ex-library. Hinge repair. Stained pages. Wear and chipping to cover edges and spine. Bumped corners.

LE-TOLDOT SHIR: HE'AROT VE-NOSAFOT AL TOLDOT HA-RAV SHELOMOH YEHUDAH RAPAPORT = ZUR RAPOPORT'S BIOGRAPHIE.
First Edition. Later cloth. 12mo. 42 pages. 19 cm. In Hebrew. Printed in Krakow. With added German title page. Biography of the life of Shelomoh Yehudah Rapoport (17901867) , rabbi, Talmudist, maskil, and scholar of Wissenschaft des Judentums (Jewish studies) . Written by Feivel Hirsch Wettstein (18581924) , Polish historian. Wettstein spent his whole life in his native Cracow, where he owned a bookstore. Through the influence of his teacher, Hayyim Nathan Dembitzer, and while still young, he began to study the history of the Jews in Poland, especially in Cracow, from material available in old responsa and in the minute books and archives of communities and societies. His monographs (published in various periodicals) illuminated obscure periods in the history of the Jews of Poland and served as valuable sources for historians of Polish Jewry such as Meir Balaban and others. Wettstein's studies are distinguished by careful scholarship and the avoidance of unfounded conjectures. His works include Kadmoniyyot mi-Pinkesa'ot Yeshanim le-Korot Yisrael be-Polin bi-Khelal u-vi-Cracow bi-Ferat (1892) ; a biography, Le-Toledot S. J. Rapaport (1900) ; Devarim Attikim mi-Pinkesei ha-Kahal bi-Cracow (1901) ; and Le-Korot ha-Yehudim be-Polin u-ve-Yihud bi-Cracow

EXODUS / SEPTUAGINTA. VETUS TESTAMENTUM GRAECUM AUCTORITATE SCIENTIARUM GOTTINGENSIS EDITUM. VOL. II,1
1st edition, original cloth, 8vo. 474 pages, In Greek with editorial matter in German. " ... The creation and propagation of a critical text of the LXX/OG has been a basic concern in modern scholarship. The two great text editions begun in the early 20th century are the Cambridge Septuagint and the Gttingen Septuagint, each with a 'minor edition' (editio minor) and a 'major edition' (editio maior). For Cambridge this means respectively H.B. Swete, The Old Testament in Greek (1909-1922) and the so-called 'Larger Cambridge Septuagint' by A.E. Brooke, N. McLean, (and H. St. John Thackeray) (1906- ). For Gttingen it denotes respectively Alfred Rahlfs's Handausgabe (1935) and the 'Larger Gttingen Septuagint' (1931- ). Though Rahlfs (editio minor) can be called a semi-critical edition, the Gttingen Septuaginta (editio maior) presents a fully critical text, as described below. While both the Cambridge and Gttingen editions collect and organize textual evidence, they are based on different text-critical approaches. Whereas the Swete-Cambridge edition is 'diplomatic' (see below) the Rahlfs-Gttingen edition is expressly 'critical.' The difference between them did not, however, arise from any theoretical disagreement but, instead, from practical considerations. Whereas in the Cambridge view a critical edition of the LXX/OG was premature, Gttingen judged that its time had come. The Cambridge Septuagint project has since lapsed (1940), but the Gttingen editio maior continues. The central importance of critical editions in modern Septuagint Studies and their continued development is, therefore, not in doubt. Whereas a diplomatic edition uses as its base text a single, 'best' manuscript, to which other textual evidence is collated and organized into an apparatus, a critical text of the LXX/OG may be described as a collection of the oldest recoverable texts, carefully restored book by book (or section by section), aiming at achieving the closest approximation to the original translations (from Hebrew or Aramaic) or compositions (in Greek), systematically reconstructed from the widest array of relevant textual data (including controlled conjecture). The Gttingen Septuagint features two apparatuses (as does the Larger Cambridge Septuagint), the first for LXX/OG textual evidence proper and the second for so-called hexaplaric evidence, i.e. 'rival' translations/revisions of the translated LXX/OG (such as circulated under the labels 'Theodotion, ' 'Aquila, ' and 'Symmachus'), preserved largely through the influence of Origen's Hexapla. For LXX/OG research the importance of both apparatuses is second only to the critical text itself. Though in the nature of the case, the quest for each lost Greek original is without end, it is equally true that responsible research uses such critical texts as its starting point. Similarly, though the Greek original is not claimed to be superior to subsequent text-forms that have been generated (usually by revision of various sorts) in its transmission history, it nevertheless has logical as well as historical priority. It follows from the above that electronic tools aimed at facilitating research on the Septuagintal materials -- whether the LXX/OG as produced and published (the original text) or the LXX/OG as transmitted and received (i.e. its later history) -- ought to make use of the best available critical editions as base text rather than non-critical editions, a practice which would have a regressive effect on scholarship" (The International Organization for Septuagint and Cognate Studies) SUBJECT(S): Criticism, interpretation, etc. Bible. Exodus, Textual. OCLC: 25253135. Ex library with usual marks, else Very Good Condition. (AC-7-13)
