Quarto 292 pages; VG-; newly rebound in quarter blue leather blue cloth covered boards paneled spine with burgundy label and gilt titling; page edges brittle pages age-toned; upper fore corner of first 96 pages clipped; text in Yiddish; scarce; shelved case 4. Isaac Aboab was an early 14th century Spanish Talmudic scholar and Kabbalist. "The Menorah of Light" is a collection of midrashic sermons. Per the Jewish Encyclopedia: "It has won considerable fame for the author though in his humility he assures his readers that he composed it chiefly for his own use as a public speaker. But besides this it has contributed probably more than any other medieval book to the popularization of rabbinical lore and to the religious edification and elevation of the masses. It belongs to that class of ethical works which sprang up in the thirteenth century in a time of reaction against the one-sided manner in which the Talmudic studies had been previously pursued.'. It was published with a Spanish translation Leghorn 1657 with a Hebrew commentary and a Judæo-German translation by Moses Frankfurter Amsterdam 1701 with a modern German translation by Fürstenthal and Behrend Krotoschin 1844-46. It was translated also into Yiddish Wilna 1880.";. 1331695. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Defus Sh. Y. Fin, A. Ts. Rosenḳrants, M.M. Shrifá¹­zeá¹­tser hardcover books‎

Morning Image size: 9 1/2 x 13 7/8 inches. Plate mark: 10 x 13 7/8 inches. Sheet size: 10 5/8 x 14 7/8 inches. Evening Image size: 9 3/8 x 13 7/8. Plate mark: 9 7/8 x 13 7/8. Sheet size: 10 3/4 x 15 1/8 inches. This is a stunning pair of mezzotints of two hunting dogs catching their quarry by John Watts after paintings by Abraham Hondius.<br/> <br/>Watts was a successful printmaker and publisher who was active in London during the second half of the eighteenth century. He was famed for his rich mezzotints which he exhibited in London between 1766 and 1778. Watts scraped mezzotints after some of the most renowned artists of his day but he had a special penchant for works by the Dutch masters such as this handsome pair after Abraham Hondius the celebrated Dutch animal painter. These rich mezzotints are a superb example of Watts's luxurious style of engraving translating the energy and fluidity of Hondius's beautiful paintings into a dramatic example of superior mezzotint engraving.<br/> <br/>Benezit Dictionnaire Des Peintres Sculpteurs Dessinateurs et Graveurs.

‎BLOEMAERT Abraham; Bloemaert‎

‎Oorspronkelyken Vermaard Konstryk.‎

‎1679. BLOEMAERT Abraham and Frederik. Artis Apellae Liber Tekenboek van Abraham Bloemaart / The Drawing Book of Abraham Bloemaert. Complete set of 160 engravings in eight parts including the chiaroscuro woodcut title-page. Folio 326 x 238 mm bound in contemporary Dutch brown calf blind-tooled spine. Amsterdam: Nicholaes Visscher 1679-1702. First Edition of Abraham Bloemaert's Drawing Book Tekenboek illustrated with engravings by Frederik Bloemaert ca. 1610-1669 after his father's designs. Abraham Bloemaert's original life drawings which were executed mainly between 1625-1635 and 1645-1650 include multiple studies of hands feet arms legs male and female profiles nudes putti and costumed figures seen in various poses from varied angles and under various lighting conditions plus a number of domestic animals. Abraham Bloemaert intended his drawings later converted by his son into engravings to serve as a teaching collection of visual models for practicing artists. The publishing history is as follows: a variant edition containing between 100 and 120 engraved plates was issued by Bloemaert's son Frederik between 1650 and 1656 under the title: Artis Apellae Liber. The 1650-56 edition is so rare it is unobtainable today. It is recorded in only three copies: British Museum 120 plates Bibliothèque Nationale de France 100 plates and Los Angeles County Museum of Art 120 plates. The extreme rarity of all early editions of Bloemaert's Tekenboek reflects the fact that a very limited number were originally printed and that the early printings did not survive the heavy use received by artists and the assistants in the artist's studio. The present copy belongs to the true First Edition Roethlisberger 1a 393 Visscher edition complete with 160 engraved plates plus the chiaroscuro woodcut title all in very good impressions. It is significant that Roethlisberger in his massive catalogue raisonné of the work of Abraham Bloemaert and His Sons Doornspijk 1993 reproduces the entire set of engravings from the 1740 edition. Abraham Bloemaert 1564-1651 was successful as a teacher not only of his four sons but also of the leading Dutch Caravaggisti e.g. Terbrugghen and Honthorst and virtually every Utrecht master painter/artist. Besides Hendrik Goltzius Abraham Bloemaert and his son Frederik were among the earliest to combine the chiaroscuro woodblock technique with the engraved and etched line Hind.
