Usque, Abraham ben Salomon (ed. & translation by); Solomon ibn Gabirol
Orden de Ros Asanah y Kypur: Traduzido en Espanõl y de Nuevo Emmendado y Añadido el Keter Malchut y Otras Cosas
Amsterdam: David Fereira y Mosseh Moreno Henriques/ David de Crasto Tartaz David de Castro Tartas 5423. Hardcover. g- to g. Duodecimo. 6.5x4.5". 479pp. Original brown calf boards with gilt-stamped motifs and raised bands on the spine. Blue ribbon marker. Edges of the book block in red. Marbled endpapers. The title page is illustrated with copper plate engravings in the form of small vignettes of biblical scenes surrounding the text. This is an early Spanish-language edition of the complete Jewish High Holiday prayer book Machzor based on the original translation by Abraham Usque originally printed in Ferarra Italy in 1553. This edition contains some added material not previously present including most prominently Solomon ibn Gabirol's famed philosophical poem "Keter Malkhut" Royal Crown which over the years has come to be read as part of the Yom Kippur service in some Jewish traditions. <br /> <br /> This edition of the Machzor was published by David Fereira and Mosseh Moreno Henriques to serve members of the then sizable Sephardic Jewish community in Amsterdam. A significant portion of the community would have been ex-Marranos Jews who had outwardly converted to Catholicism during the inquisition in Spain who then immigrated and were able to reestablished their Jewish identity and thus were unable to read Hebrew hence the text's publication in Spanish. As stated in the foreword this edition includes some additions to the text not included in previous versions and omits some material deemed to have been unnecessary. The prayer book starts with the penitential prayers Selichot p.3-47 which includes decorative head and endpeices. This section is followed by the Rosh Hashanah service p.48-195 and then the Yom Kippur service including "Keter Malkhut" p.254-289. The title page is illustrated with scenes from the biblical stories of King David Saul and Goliath and contain small captions underneath with corresponding biblical passages in Spanish. <br /> <br /> There are a number of pagination printing errors including: p.45-46 are misprinted as 54 and 36 p.264 is misprinted as 164. p.450 is misprinted as 350 p.414 is misprinted as 144. Like in the case of the earlier 1652 edition of the work pages 305-352 are misprinted as "321-368" but in this copy the leaf containing p. 353-354 directly following "368" seems to be missing. Overall this edition follows very closely the 1652 edition of the same work in terms of pagination content and organization. Includes large initials throughout the text. All text in Spanish. <br /> <br /> Binding with rubbing scratches and abrasions to the covers spine and extremities. Some chipping to the head and tail of the spine. Interior front covers with some starting and the loosening of the endpapers. Title page with starting light creases stains and and light chipping on the top left corner resulting in slight loss of image. Some light water staining along the top edge of the pages with some other sporadic light staining throughout. Page 365 torn along the side edge with no loss of text. Starting at a number of pages throughout the book. Binding in good- interior in good condition overall. Binding protected with modern mylar. David ben Abraham de Castro 1630-1698 was a French-born Portuguese Jewish printer/publisher in Amsterdam. Between 1662 and 1701 his press printed the "Gazeta de Amsterdam" a newspaper for the exiled Sephardic Jewish community in Amsterdam. He started his printing career as a typesetter at the printing house of Menasseh Ben Israel a printer and leading Rabbi in community who printed the earliest Amsterdam edition of this work in 1630. Castro started his own business in 1662 making this edition among his earliest publications. <br /> <br /> References: RODRIGUEZ 1781 p. 643 KAYSERLING 1890 p. 62 PALAU1923 202416 PEETERS1933 1038.

He wrote "Yam Shel Shlomo" to 'probe the depths of the halacha' and to clarify the process by which those halachot are reached. <br /> <br /> Binding partly rubbed along edges. Head and tail of spine chipped. Title label partly missing. Contemporary previous owner's signature at upper margin of title page not affecting lettering. Minor worming along fore-edge of pages 34 to 84 not affecting lettering. Some offsetting and minor and sporadic foxing throughout. Text in Hebrew.

Only a proportion of his work has been preserved including his "Yam shel Shelomo" The Seal of Solomon and his "Hokhmat Shelomo" The Wisdom of Solomon 1582. His "Responsa" 1574/5 gives valuable insight into the culture of 16th-century Polish Jewry. [Unidentified] hardcover

Solisbaci in officina arnsteinii et filiorum. MDCCC."<br /> <br /> R. Moses Maimonides Rambam was a 12th century Jewish philosopher and halachic legal scholar. A highly controversial figure both during his lifetime and after his death but generally acknowledged as the preeminent Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages. He was born in Córdoba Spain but fled as a child from the Almohad persecution. He eventually settled in Egypt where he served as a rabbi physician and philosopher. His fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah his only work not in Arabic still carries canonical authority particularly within the Yemenite Jewish community as the codification of Talmudic law. His other work includes a commentary on the Mishnah entitled Kitab al-Siraj Kitab al-Fara'I a book on precepts and the philosophical work Dalalat al-Ha'irin known in Hebrew as the Moreh Nevukhim The Guide to the Perplexed. The major premise is an attempted philosophical/theological reconciliation of the Hebrew Bible and Greek knowledge.
