Poppers, Meir, Rabbi (?)
HANHUGOT ADAM. HANOGES ODOM
1st edition thus. Later paper wrappers, 12mo, 24 leaves, 155:90 mm. In Yiddish, with title also transliterated on title page ("Hanoges Odom"). Title translates as, The Book of Man's Leadership: ... How Every Jew Should Conduct Himself All His Days From Early to Evening ... and Many Laws. Proper daily behavior for Jews. Contains Kabbalistic customs and practices based on the teachings of the Ari. The text includes detailed descriptions of the halakhot and customs of the Ari for weekdays, Shabbat and festivals, and daily occasions.Although published anonymously, this appears to be similar to the work of Rabbi Meir ben Judah Leib Poppers (died 1662). He was a kabbalist of Ashkenazi descent who was active in Jerusalem after 1640. A pupil of Rabbi Jacob Zemah, he became the last editor of the Lurianic writings. He divided the mass of Rabbi Vital's different versions of Rabbi Luria's teachings into three parts, Derekh Ez Hayyim, Peri Ez Hayyim, and Nof Ez Hayyim. Rabbi Poppers' version became the one in most widespread use in Poland and Germany. After 1640 he composed a large number of his own kabbalistical writings in the vein of Lurianic Kabbalah. They are said to have comprised 39 books, each of which contained the word or ("light") in its title, the entire corpus being called Kokhevei Or. Several parts have been preserved (Ms. Jerusalem no. 101, Ms. Rabbi Alter of Gur no. 170). They included commentaries on Sefer Bahir, on Nahmanides' Torah commentary, on the Zohar, and on Luria's writings according to his own edition (Ms. Jerusalem no. 102). In the latter manuscript Poppers reports that he had studied Rabbi Luria's writings for 17 years. Only two of these books have been published, this work and Or Zaddikim (Hamburg, 1690), written in Jerusalem in 1643, and later incorporated in Rabbi Moses Katz's compilation, Or ha-Yashar (Amsterdam, 1709); and Me'orei Or, a dictionary of kabbalistic symbolism, published with copious notes by Jacob Vilna and Nathan Neta Mannheim under the title Me'orot Natan (Frankfurt, 1709). In addition, Mesillot Hokhmah, a booklet summarizing Lurianic metaphysics in 32 paragraphs, later published under Rabbi Poppers' name (Shklov, 1785), was first printed anonymously (Wandsbeck, c. 1700). Rabbi Poppers is credited with the authorship of a graphic description and summary of the Lurianic system, in the form of a scroll, published under the title Ilan ha-Gadol (1864). This tree, however, shows the distinct influence of Rabbi Israel Sarug's version of Lurianism, which is not to be found in Poppers' other writings. Part of his homilies on the Torah were published as Tal Orot (1911). He mentions as his teachers one Rabbi Israel Ashkenazi and his father-in-law, Azariah Ze'evi (probably from Hebron). During the 1650s Poppers spent about two years in Constantinople. He died in Jerusalem. (EJ, 2007). SUBJECT(S): Jewish ethics. OCLC: 233362307. OCLC lists only one copy (NLI), which, it is noted is missing the end, after 24 leavesexactly the same as our copy, so possibly as issued??? Some toning and stains. Good Condition, very rare.

The Last Choice : Preemptive Suicide in Advanced Age Second Edition
Westport Connecticut: Greenwood Press 1998. Fine in hardcover. 25 by 17 cm. 188 1 pages. New book. Gift quality. Navy cover with gilt lettering on front and on spine. Contains bibliography and index. Contributions in Philosophy Number 63. Bright clean. From the publisher: 'The Last Choice establishes that preemptive suicide in advanced age can be rational: that it can make good sense to evade age-related personal diminishment even at the cost of good time left. Criteria are provided to help determine whether soundly reasoned cogently motivated and prudently timed self-destruction can be in one's interests late in life. In our time suicide and assisted suicide are being increasingly tolerated as ways to escape unendurable mental or physical suffering but it isn't widely accepted that suicide may be a rational choice before the onset of such suffering. This book's basic claim is that it can be rational to choose to die sooner as oneself than to survive as a lessened other: that judicious appropriation of one's own inevitable death can be an identity-affirming act and a fitting end to life.'.

LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP IN PLATO AND ARISTOTLE
Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; This book explores for the first time an idea common to both Plato and Aristotle: although people are separate, their lives need not be; one person's life may overflow into another's, so that helping someone else is a way of serving oneself. Price considers how this idea unites the philosophers' treatments of love and friendship (which are otherwise very different) , and demonstrates that this view of love and friendship, applied not only to personal relationships, but also to the household and even the city-state, promises to resolve the old dichotomy between egoism and altruism. ; 278 pages

Prior, William J.
VIRTUE AND KNOWLEDGE An Introduction to Ancient Greek Ethics
Bump near top of spine with small crease. ; This book focuses on the concept of virtue, and in particular on the virtue of wisdom or knowledge, as it is found in the epic poems of Homer, some tragedies of Sophocles, selected writings of Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoic and Epicurean philosophers. The key questions discussed are the nature of the virtues, their relation to each other, and the relation between the virtues and happiness or well-being. There has been renewed interest recently in the concept of virtue. The value of William Prior's book is that it provides the background and interpretive framework to make classical works on ethics, such as Plato's "Republic" and Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics", accessible to readers with no training in the classics. ; 240 pages
