Talmud Bavli im perush Rashi ve-tosafot ve-Rabenu Asher Babylonian Talmud in Hebrew
Vienna: L. C. Zamarski & C. Dittmarsch 1873. The Babylonian Talmud complete in 24 books bound in 12 volumes. The title page to the first volume is undated but typically dated 1864 in institutional catalogs; the second volume is dated 1866 the last volume is dated 1872 but the last page of the Taharot Vol. XXIV is dated 1873. Tall quarto each volume measuring 14" x 10". Bound in half cloth and paper-covered boards leather spine labels with gilt lettering. Title pages printed in red black yellow and gilt. Very Good overall lots of edge wear with exposed boards chipping toning and wear to spines. Cloth of volume 7 appears to have been inexpertly repaired; binding tape repair to rear hinge. Other than that the bindings are sturdy; contents have a little foxing with age. Occasional marginal notes presumably from either Ernest or Walter Jacob; a few pages of notes in Hebrew laid in as well. <p>This set has a very distinguished provenance: it came from the estate of Walter Jacob a significant leader in Reform Judaism in America author of 43 books and the chief rabbi at Rodef Shalom in Pittsburgh. His father Ernest Israel Jacob 1899-1974 was district rabbi of Augsburg and was deported to Dachau concentration camp for several months after Kristallnacht in 1938; he eventually emigrated to the US. Walter's grandfather Benno Jacob was considered one of the great biblical commentators of liberal Judaism. Ernest Jacob has written a note on the front pastedown of the first volume: "The textual corrections and marginal annotations in this Vienna edition of the Babylonian Talmud are by the late orientalist Samuel Landauer a great Aramaic scholar formally librarian of the University library at Strasbourg Alsace from whose estate I bought this work. Ernest I. Jacob." <p>A lovely 19th century Hebrew edition of the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the source of Jewish law and theology compiled in the 3rd to 6th centuries in Mesopotamia. <p>International buyers please note: shipping this set outside the United States will require extra charges due to its weight and size.

Let It Be Two original photographs from the 1970 film
N.p.: N.p. 1970. Two vintage borderless reference photographs from the 1970 documentary film. Annotations in manuscript ink on the verso. <br /> <br /> Some have claimed that "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster" 2004 was the first documentary to inadvertently document the deconstruction of a rock band but Michael Lindsay-Hogg beat them to it by 34 years. "Let It Be" originally conceived as a documentary that would accompany a performance broadcast on television morphed into a feature film when the broadcast idea was dropped. The director had no idea going into the project how much conflict had developed within the band and unwittingly wound up putting onto celluloid a picture of what was the most acrimonious and confused time in the band's storied six-year career. A fascinating document that became the fascinating final project to be released by the Beatles. <br /> <br /> 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine one photo with a short closed tear at the left edge.

[The Bekker - Translation of Homer's Ilias and Odyssee] - [Homer] Bekker, Immanuel
Carmina Homerica - Volumen Prius: Ilias / Volumen Altertum: Odyssea Odyssey.
1858. Bonn Apud Adolphum Marcum 1858. Octavo. VI 594 pages / 480 pages. Hardcover / Original 19th century half-vellum with marbled-paper-covered boards. Bookseller-Sticker of William McGee College Bookseller - 18 Nassau Street - Dublin to the pastedowns of both Volumes. Both bindings with staining and wear. The Odyssey - Volume with minor split to lower spine. Interior in excellent condition besides an occasional appearance of a fainted dampstain. August Immanuel Bekker 21 May 1785 7 June 1871 was a German philologist and critic. Born in Berlin Bekker completed his classical education at the University of Halle under Friedrich August Wolf who considered him as his most promising pupil. In 1810 he was appointed professor of philosophy in the University of Berlin. For several years between 1810 and 1821 he travelled in France Italy England and parts of Germany examining classical manuscripts and gathering materials for his great editorial labours. Some of the fruits of his researches were published in the Anecdota Graeca 3 vols 18141821 but the major results are to be found in the enormous array of classical authors edited by him. Anything like a complete list of his works would occupy too much space but it may be said that his industry extended to nearly the whole of Greek literature with the exception of the tragedians and lyric poets. His best known editions are those of Plato 18161823 Oratores Attici 18231824 Aristotle 18311836 Aristophanes 1829 and twenty-five volumes of the Corpus Scriptorum Historiae Byzantinae. The only Latin authors edited by him were Livy 18291830 and Tacitus 1831. Bekker confined himself entirely to manuscript investigations and textual criticism; he contributed little to the extension of other types of scholarship. Bekker numbers have become the standard way of referring to the works of Aristotle and the Corpus Aristotelicum. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1861. He died in Berlin aged 86. Wikipedia hardcover
