‎First edition of this linguistic work on the source and history of the first language, with a focus on Hebrew. The Dutch philologist Etienne Morin (1624–1700) utilizes the Augustinian thesis in his discussion of the primeval language: ""Quoting from Augustine (City of God xvi. 5 and 10), he maintains that the world always ought to be divided into two antithetical communities. Of these two, the patriarchs Shem and Heber belonged to the city of God, while the crowd of rebels who conspired at Babel embodied the city of man. Morin concludes that this proves that Shem could not possibly have taken part in the conspiracy at Babel. Augustine could not have put forward a better argument, he says. As the constant companion of true religion, the original language was preserved in the family and among the pious descendants of Heber who transmitted it as a legacy to those practising piety."" (Eskhult, Augustine and the Primeval Language in Early Modern Exegesis and Philology).‎

‎Later editions of Michaelis highly popular grammars on Hebrew and Aramaic. Johann Davis Michaelis (1717-19) was a theologian and orientalist, whose fame today rests upon the fact that he was responsible for the first scientific expedition to Arabia Felix, namely that of Niebuhr. In 1753, he had come up with the idea for the the Royal Danish Arabia Expedition (1761-1767) and had gotten the Danish minister Bernstoff to agree to it. In 1760, when the expedition was becoming a reality, Michaelis recommended Niebuhr as a participant, and he outlined the entire purpose of the trip - namaly the list of 100 questions that he prepared and published for the members of the expedition, in order for them to answer in the course of the voyage. For all intents and purposes, Michaelis was the spiritual father of the Arabia-expedition. As a theologian and an orientalist, many of Michaelis' questions have root in the Bible. But unlike many other theolgians of the time, Michaelis sought to shed light over biblical themes through sources outside of the Bible - especially from the Middle East, not least Arabia. In this regard, his 100 Questions also came to be a precursor to the emergence of modern bible science.‎

‎Nr. 50 out of 100 numbered copies of this interesting, richly illustrated, publication that was issued in connection with the second International Tribunal on War Crimes, which took place in Denmark. The present copy is signed by Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir on front free end-paperThe International Tribunal on War Crimes was initiated by Bertrand Russell in 1966 in order to investigate the background for and art and nature of the American warfare in Vietnam. The tribunal was constituted by a number of internationally famous scientists, authors, and cultural personas" because of their status in society, their moral opposition against America's war-crimes in Vietnam was internationally very effective. The first session of the Tribunal was planned to take place in Paris in April 1967, but when De Gaulle proclaimed that the French government would not allow the arrangement, the first session was quickly moved to Stockholm, where it took place from May 2nd till 10th. It was then decided that the second session should take place in Denmark, which contrary to neutral Sweden through NATO was an ally of USA, and where the press coverage would thus be more effective. Thus, in 1967 a ""Danish Bertrand Russell Foundation"" was founded - supporting the international war crime tribunal -, which included many of the leading Danish intellectuals of the time. Russell was 95 at the time of the second session, and he couldn't participate, so Sartre acted as president of the jury instead. This session took place at the University of Roskilde, Denmark, from November 18th till December 1st 1967.Another member of the Tribunal was Simone de Beauvoir, who was also present, together with Sartre, in Roskilde the last weeks of November 1967. The present work was issued by the Copenhagen office of the International War Crime Tribunal and the Collection for Vietnam. The work is constituted by contributions by numerous famous Danish poets and artists of the period, who wished to express their solidarity with the International War Crime Tribunal.The work was issued in 1500 copies, 100 of which were numbered.‎

‎Conspectus et aestimatio ethicae Corani. Adjecto animadversionum philologicarum in Arabicos scriptores specimine. - [DAMPE'S DISSERTATION]‎

‎Hafnia, Schultz, 1812. 4to. In contemporary blank green boards. Light wear to extremities. Internally nice and clean, printed on heavy blue paper. (4), 62, (2) pp.‎

‎Exceedingly rare first edition, possibly gift-copy, of Dampe's doctoral dissertation on ethics in the Koran. Dampe was subject to arguable the most profound miscarriage of justice in Danish history. In 1820, Dampe was sentenced to death for advocating the abolition of absolute monarchy and the establishment of a free constitution. However, his sentence was commuted to exile and he was imprisoned in ""the Balloon"" on the tiny island of Fredriksø. Following the abolition of exile as a form of punishment in 1840 he was placed under house arrest on Bornholm. In 1848, he was granted amnesty by Denmark's new king, Frederick VII. The following year, in 1849, the Danish Constitution was introduced pretty much the way Dampe had proposed. His dissertation provides an overview of the main principles of the Quran’s ethical teachings, the arguments for following them, pre-Islamic Arab ethics before Muhammad, and what Muhammad thought about himself. Then follows an excursus on Muhammad’s clever ways of granting himself authority and finally, an appendix with ten pages of philological commentary. Biblioteca Danica I, 596.‎
