‎"E. L. SUKENIK.‎

‎Megilloth Genuzoth. (i.e. ""Scrolls hidden away"", preliminary survey on 'Dead Sea Scrolls'). - [FIRST PUBLISHED STUDY ON THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS.]‎

‎Jerusalem, Bialik Foundation. 1948. Large 4to (325 x 235 mm). In the original printed wrappers. Extremities with light marginal miscolouring and a bit creased. Verso of wrappers with offsetting, otherwise a fine copy. (6), 43 pp. + 13 plates.‎

‎The very first publication of any part of the Dead Sea Scroll. With the present publication, Sukenik also became the first to linking the scrolls and their content to a community of Essenes, which became the standard interpretation of the origin of the scrolls, a theory that is still the general consensus among scholars. The Dead Sea Scrolls are regarded as a pivotal cornerstone in the realm of archaeology, possessing immense historical, religious, and linguistic importance. These scrolls comprise the most ancient extant manuscripts of complete books that would eventually find their place in the biblical canons. Additionally, they house deuterocanonical and extra-biblical manuscripts, providing valuable testimony to the multiplicity of religious ideologies during the period of late Second Temple Judaism. Sukenik's role was significant in acquiring and studying some of the Dead Sea Scrolls after their initial discovery. In 1948, he managed to acquire three of the scrolls from an antiquities dealer in Bethlehem, including the famous ""Isaiah Scroll."" (the two others being The War Scroll and the Thanksgiving Scroll (Hodayot)). Sukenik almost immediately recognized the historical and scholarly importance of the scrolls and worked to secure them for research purposes. His efforts helped bring attention to the scrolls and contributed to their preservation and study. Sukenik recollected in his diary:""My hands shook as I started to unwrap one of them. I read a few sentences. It was written in beautiful biblical Hebrew. The language was like that of the Psalms, but the text was unknown to me. I looked and looked, and I suddenly had the feeling that I was privileged by destiny to gaze upon a Hebrew Scroll which had not been read for more than 2,000 years."" Eleazar Sukenik, along with Roland de Vaux, emerged as among the earliest scholars engaged in the study of the initial scrolls unearthed in 1947. Sukenik swiftly established a connection between these scrolls and the settlement at Qumran, positioned on the northwest bank of the Dead Sea, specifically attributing them to a Jewish sect identified as the Essenes. In 1951, de Vaux conducted excavations at the Qumran site, unearthing pottery that bore an identical resemblance to the pottery discovered in nearby Cave 1 (the scrolls had been extracted from a sequence of 11 caves, each numbered by archaeologists based on their order of discovery). This further solidified Sukenik's correlation between the caves, their contents, and the adjacent archaeological remains of the Qumran settlement. The Qumran-Essene hypothesis put forth by these prominent figures in archaeology subsequently became the prevailing theory, endorsed in scholarly publications and reference works. While a group of experts commenced the task of translating the scrolls in the 1950s, the wider academic community had to wait nearly four decades before gaining access to them.‎

‎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.""

‎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.‎

‎First edition Schultens’ important work in which he fundamentally changed comparative Semitic philology. He stated that Hebrew is no longer could be regarded as the first language, from which the other Oriental languages diverged, but as one Semitic language among the others. “Schultens emphasized with revolutionary exaggeration the extent of the change brought about by the new knowledge. Far from accepting the traditional view that Arabic (like other languages) was a degenerate form of Hebrew, Schultens maintained that Hebrew was only one Semitic dialect, while the purest and clearest such dialect was Arabic…But in spite of the high value accorded to Arabic by Schultens, his use of it was infelicitous and far from commendable even from the point of view of an Arabist. He nevertheless marked the beginning of an epoch which continued into the mid-20th century, in which one of the main forms of learned linguistic study was the use of cognate languages for the elucidation of difficulties in Hebrew” (Barr, “Literature,” 1395.)‎

‎The scarce first edition of Curtius' magnum opus, a work of immense importance to the theory of the Greek language and one of the most important, influential, and useful works on the theory of language in general. ""Nach den Ansichten Aller, auch der Gegner, gehören diese ""Grundzüge"" zu den werthvollsten und nützlichsten Werken der Sprachwissenschaft überhaupt"" (Ernst Windisch in: Sebeok, Portraits of Linguists, I: p. 332).The work took Curtius about a decade to write, and the two volumes appeared with four years in between them. It is very rare to find any of the two volumes in the first edition, and both volumes in the first edition are almost never seen together. The work became immensely popular, and five editions appeared between this first and 1879. Georg Curtius (1820-1885) is one of the leading German classicists of all times. His writings were fundamental to the study of the Greek language and are among the most profound, influential and thorough ever written.Within the theory of language, one can hardly point to a work more generally influential than the present, which also excels in stringently and eloquently pointing out the connection between etymology and phonetics and proving that only through phonetics has etymology become a science.‎
