‎The Law of God.‎

‎Philadelphia: C. Sherman 5605 1845-46. First edition of the “first English translation of the Pentateuch in America†the 1845 Hebrew-English Bible by one of the most prominent and influential figures in American Jewish history. Octavo 5 volumes. Translated by Isaac Leeser. Bound in full contemporary calf gilt titles and tooling to the spine. In near fine condition. A nice example rare in contemporary binding. Previous editions published by Jews in England had simply utilized the King James translation. The translator was Isaac Leeser 1806-1868 who worked without assistance. In his preface he apologizes for any errors: "How can it be expected that I should escape when I have no Jewish compositors and have necessarily to be often away when the work goes to press" Despite these obstacles Leeser doubted that "the precious word of God ever appeared among us in a more beautiful form than the volumes in which I am now engaged." Leeser avoided reliance on earlier English translations though he made some use of German translations and noted that "the arrangement is strictly Jewish. My intention was to furnish a book for the service of the Synagogue both German and Portuguese." Leeser’s “contributions to every area of Jewish culture and religion made him a major builder of American Judaism.†The publication of his Pentateuch was the first time that any portion of the Bible was published in America under Jewish auspices. “The translation of the Bible was Leeser’s great literary achievement and represented many years of patient labor and devotion to a task which he considered sacred… He made good use of the various German translations by Jews of the collective commentary known as the Biur and of other Jewish exegetic works. As a result his translation though based in style upon the King James version can be considered an independent work for the changes he produced are numerous and great… until the new Jewish Publication Society version was issued in 1917 it was the only source from which many Jews not conversant with Hebrew derived their knowledge of the Bible in accordance with Jewish tradition†Waxman 1090.

Leeser's Preface explains that this massive undertaking sprung from 'a desire entertained for more than a quarter of a century since the day he quitted school in his native land to come to this country to present to his fellow-Israelites an English version made by one of themselves of the Holy Word of God'. Readers would now 'have an opportunity to study a version of the Bible which has not been made by the authority of churches in which they have no confidence'.<br /><br />Rabbi Isaac Leeser 1806-1868 was born in Germany and emigrated to America in 1824. The head rabbi of the Synagogue Mikveh Israel in Philadelphia he became America's most influential Jewish writer editor and teacher. He promulgated Jewish culture and religious activity in the United States by providing American Jews with the numerous basic religious texts and conceptual tools they needed.<br /> Philadelphia, 1853. hardcover‎

After the Best Jewish Authorities; and Supplied With Short Explanatory Notes THE LEESER BIBLE UNRECORDED THIRD EDITION. UNIQUE EXTRA ILLUSTRATED COPY IN CUSTOM BINDING w/ 23 ILLUSTRATED PLATES INCLUDING STEEL ENGRAVINGS‎

‎Cincinnati: Published for the Rev. Abraham DeSola by The Bloch Publishing and Printing Company 1880. Third edition. Hardcover. vg. Large quarto. vii 1011 4pp. Custom period full brown pebbled leather biding with blind-stamped ruling and tooling. Gilt lettering including the owner's name on the front cover as well as on the spine. Raised bands. Dentelles. All edges of book block in red and gilt. Lustrous white silk textured endpapers. <br /> <br /> This incredibly rare and completely unrecorded third edition of the groundbreaking Leeser Bible was produced after Bloch had taken over the publishing rights sometime circa 1880. For this edition like the preceding Miller's Bible and Publishing House printing of 1878 5638 the publisher reverted to the large quarto size format and pagination of the original 1854 first edition. Additionally the preface includes the original text and September 20th 1853 date of first edition. The explanatory notes of the original edition at the bottom of each page removed in the smaller format starting with the 1857 second edition are here present again as well. Retained from those subsequent smaller format editions however is the "general remarks" section which follows the preface text. Added likely for the first time is a new table of contents directly preceding the main biblical text. Includes the traditional four blank leaves for the recording of marriages births and deaths at rear. <br /> <br /> When it was originally published in 1854 the Leeser Bible marked a major milestone in scripture translation as it is the first complete English translation of the Hebrew Bible Tanakh by a Jew. Indeed in the early 19th century most American Jews couldn't read the Bible in Hebrew and an adequate complete English translation didn't exist. Isaac Leeser's "The Twenty-Four Books of the Holy Scriptures" attempted to fill this need. Leeser spent 17 years on this landmark translation relying almost exclusively on Jewish scholarship. Soon after its publication this work became the standard for American Jews not conversant in Hebrew as well as an important contribution to Jewish American culture.<br /> <br /> This edition was issued for pioneering Canadian Rabbi Abraham De Sola 1825-1882 who was among the most prominent proponents of Orthodox Judaism in North America during the 19th century and close associate of Isaac Leeser. As the last pre-Bloch printing of the work produced for De Sola was known to have been issued in 1878 5638 our undated third edition has to have been published sometime between 1878 and De Sola's death in 1882.<br /> <br /> This unique copy of the Leeser Bible was beautifully custom bound for the owner Mathilda Friendly with 23 full-page illustrated plates which includes a half-title and frontispiece. The plates include many of the the same images which were incorporated into the Old Testament sections of similarly-illustrated Victorian-era family Bibles of the later half of the 19th century. They include finely rendered steel-plate engravings and reproductions after wood-engraved images from a number of acclaimed artists. The result is that this book ends up becoming a interesting and unique "Jewish version" of an Illustrated Family Bible of the same sort prevalent in that era.<br /> <br /> Like those Family Bibles the illustrated plates here include at least 10 reproductions after images by acclaimed French artist Gustave Dore 1832-1883 from his famous series of wood engravings originally created for the "La Grande Bible de Tours" 1866. These images include "The Deluge" "The Egyptians Drowned in the Red Sea" "Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still" "David and Goliath" "Elijah Taken Up To Heaven in a Chariot of Fire" and "Esther Before the King" among others.<br /> <br /> Also present are beautifully rendered steel plate engravings. These include a gorgeous engraving of "Moses with the Ten Commandments" frontispiece by Edward Schuler 1806-1882 after the original painting by Philippe de Champaigne "Moses in the Bullrushes" half-title at the front after a lost painting by Paul Delaroche "Hagar and Ishmael" James Charles Armytage after Joseph Clark a gorgeous engraved image after the James Sant painting "The Infant Samuel" "Speak Lord for thy Servant Heareth" and "Happy Days of Job" by after a the painting by William Charles Thomas Dobson 1817-1898. Other images include work by British illustrator David Henry Friston 1820-1906 and Edouard Willmann 1820-1877 as well as engraved landscapes of Hebron Tabor and Petra. Many of the plates are protected with tissue guards.<br /> <br /> In comparing our copy with another found copy of this same scarce edition ours is extra-illustrated. It includes the steel-plate engravings not present in the other copy except for the Moses frontispiece found in both. Additionally it also contains many more of the reproduced wood-engraved plates.<br /> <br /> Binding professionally restored and re-backed retaining the original spine. Minor rubbing to extremities. Endpapers with some light stains and smudging particularly along the edges with light chipping to the edge of the rear endpaper. Interior with very sporadic minor to light foxing and stains to some of the text pages throughout. Images are mostly still very vibrant and mostly clean.

‎Philadelphia: Printed by Sherman & Co. for Rev. Abraham de Sola 5633 1872-73. Quarto. 22 x 28.5 x 2.5cm. 8 1011pp.Original gilt with cartouches on roan covers and the rubbed name of the original owner C. Macnec or Macneo or Macned. New goatskin spine label and endpapers by the artisan binder Sasha Mosalov.OCLC Number 1007213457Notes:Tables 4 p. with green and red borders for recording "Marriages Births Deaths Memoranda" at end.This is the first English translation of the Hebrew Bible produced and published in the United States. The translator Rabbi Isaac Leeser 1806–1868 was the head rabbi of the Synagogue Mikveh Israel in Philadelphia where he became America’s most prolific Jewish writer. He compiled a Hebrew reader and Jewish catechism and also edited The Occident the first Jewish periodical in America. Leeser’s translation of the Pentateuch was published at his own expense in 1845–1846 and the complete Bible was published for the first time in 1854. .Abraham de Sola 1825-1882 was a renowned rabbi scholar and lecturer whose popularity went far beyond the bounds of McGill or Montreal. Born in London to a prominent Sephardic Jewish family he gained recognition at a very young age for his writings on Eastern languages and literature as well as on Jewish history and scripture. In 1847 at only twenty-two years of age he moved to Canada to become the Rabbi of the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish Congregation of Montreal a community he continued to serve for thirty years. In 1853 McGill invited de Sola to become Professor of Hebrew and Oriental Literature and later also appointed him Lecturer in Spanish Literature. The great popularity of his lectures is perhaps best demonstrated by an extraordinary invitation in 1872: he traveled to Washington D.C. to deliver the prayer which opened that year’s session of the United States Congress. He was the first non-Christian theologian to perform this ceremony and his speech was very well received. Philadelphia: Printed by Sherman & Co. for Rev. Abraham de Sola, 5633 [1872-73] unknown‎
