In it he “poured forth a bitter complaint against 'the people of the book' for their indifference to Hebrew and its literature . He draws a dark picture of the state of Hebrew culture and literature in this country" Waxman.

Title translates as "Rhyme: Songs and Games for Kindergarten and School." Book of songs for children written by Levin Kipnis. Includes musical settings unaccompanied for the poems by various composers. Hebrew text of each entire poem printed on page corresponding to strophic melody. Originally issued in Jerusalem and republished in this edition in Germany by the publishing house Omonuth. "Kipnis was born in Ushomyr Volhynia.In 1913 he moved to Palestine to study at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. He later studied pedagogy for two years in Germany and thereafter became a teacher in Levinsky's Teacher's College in Tel Aviv 1923-1952. He debuted in print in 1911 with a poem in the children's magazine Heperaim The flowers and from that point published over one hundred Hebrew books for children and edited children's newspapers textbooks and the like. He is considered the founder of Hebrew-language children's literature in Israel. Leksikon fun der Nayer Yidisher Literatur "A year after opening and before a single book had even been published Omanut closed its doors in Moscow and moved to Odessa a bustling port on the Black Sea located in the Ukraine and as yet untouched by the Revolution. Odessa was already a flourishing center of Jewish culture home to such luminaries of Modern Hebrew literature as Mendele Mocher Sforim and Chaim Nachman Bialik. But the events of 1917 sent even more Jewish writers and artists pouring in. With such a stable of local talent from which to draw Odessa was to prove fertile ground indeed for Omanut. As the Bolsheviks advanced on the Ukraine Olamenu's female founder Shoshana Persitz relocated again this time to Frankfurt-am-Main in Germany. There she republished the beautiful picture books illustrated by the young art students in Odessa and also began publishing the polished Hebrew translations of world literature for children by which the press was to become famous. In 1925 Omanut left Europe altogether establishing itself once and for all in Tel-Aviv." LOC SUBJECTS: Children's songs Hebrew. Singing games. Children's songs Hebrew. Singing games. OCLC: 18897325.

Ha-Tekufah was a “Hebrew periodical devoted to literary scientific and social subjects which appeared first as a quarterly then as an annual intermittently between 1918 and 1950. Ha-Tekufah received the financial backing of Abraham Joseph Stybel a philanthropist who had placed David Frischmann in charge of launching Hebrew literary projects on an unprecedented large scale. Accordingly Frischmann established both the Stybel publishing house and launched Ha-Tekufah serving as the editor of both projects. The first volume of Ha-Tekufah appeared in Moscow early in 1918 before the Bolshevik regime had decided to suppress Hebrew literature. Frischmann published the works of the world's best authors and scholars. The literary standards of the periodical were high. Frischmann encouraged young authors for example Eliezer Steinman. In all respects and not least for its beautiful graphic work Ha-Tekufah was a rare phenomenon in Hebrew literature.” Jewish Virtual Library. SUBJECTS: Hebrew literature Modern -- Periodicals.

réf. 17686'No. 2. Bon-Accord Rhymes and Ballads. Aberdeen: George Middleton Skene Square. 1878. Smith's entry in the Oxford DNB explains the background to this pamphlet explaining that he was 'commissioned to write some articles on biblical subjects for the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica and the first two of these appeared in 1875—‘Angel’ in volume 2 and ‘Bible’ in volume 3. These articles marked a turning point in his career. The Bible was regarded by the Free Church of Scotland as ‘the supreme rule of faith and life’ and so anything that might seem to undermine its authority was bound to arouse opposition. An investigation by the college committee of the Free Church found that Smith's opinions as expressed in the article ‘Bible’ were hardly compatible with his position as a teacher of candidates for the ministry of the church but provided insufficient grounds to support a process for heresy. Smith maintained that he accepted that the Bible was the one sufficient and authoritative record of divine revelation and that his critical views were the fruit of studies carried out under the guidance of his teachers at New College Edinburgh. He therefore demanded that he be given a formal trial by libel indictment for his alleged heresies and errors. In the subsequent protracted proceedings in the various church courts Smith by sheer dialectical skill was able to beat back the attack on all points except the authorship and purpose of Deuteronomy. The libel proceedings were eventually terminated but a vote of no confidence in Smith was passed by the general assembly of 1881 and was followed by his summary removal from his chair.' 8pp. 12mo. Disbound without covers. In fair condition on aged paper with first and last leaf separated.

'The Heretic Hunter's Song' features references to 'Professor Smith' 'a wily loon' and 'Lawyer Davie' as well as 'Doctor Broon'.

Original cloth binding with a bilingual title in Hebrew and Ottoman Turkish in Arabic script on the front board and blind-tooled decorations on both boards. Demy 8vo 22 x 14 cm. Text in Ottoman Turkish and Hebrew. 4 176 pp. Cloth slightly faded; foxing to the first and last blank leaves and pastedowns as well as to some margins; hinges slightly split. Overall a good copy. Extremely rare early Viennese edition of this bilingual "Genesis" in Hebrew and Ottoman Turkish one of only three produced by the Adolf Holzhausen Printing House in Vienna a major centre for Hebrew book production in its time. According to the Özege catalogue it represents one of the few bilingual Holzhausen editions. Adolf Holzhausen 1868-1931 was an influential Austrian-Jewish publisher and bookseller notable for his contributions to the world of printing and publishing in Vienna. He was the son of Adolf Holzhausen the Elder 1827-1892 who led the Viennese court and the university's book printing company. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the book trade Holzhausen received thorough training in the family business; his father had owned the prestigious Manzsche Buchdruckerei Manzsche Book Printing Company since 1858. Holzhausen developed specialized expertise in typesetting and printing of oriental scripts and he supplied his company with carefully crafted oriental typefaces which were highly valued in scholarly and literary circles. Building on this expertise he eventually established his own university book printing company as well as a private publishing house focusing primarily on art books historical works and scholarly publications. Following the upheavals of the First World War Holzhausen was appointed head of the Austrian Military Geography Institute reflecting both his organizational abilities and his intellectual reputation. Beyond his publishing and military contributions he was a strong advocate for collaboration among Austrian educational book publishers promoting greater unity and standards in the production of educational materials. Through his dual roles as a printer and publisher Holzhausen left a lasting impact on Viennese cultural and academic life bridging traditional craftsmanship with modern publishing practices and fostering scholarship in art and history.

The two discrete parts bound together here form part of what Steinschneider calls the Biblia Eliana - known also as the Petrus Bibles - issued shortly after the quarto Hebrew edition also published in octavo with interlinear Latin translation. All are based largely on earlier Venetian Hebrew Bibles especially those printed by Giustiniani in the sixteenth century to which they are typographically related. The present work evidently makes use of Picard's square Sephardic Hebrew typeface Lubell's Hb27 first used by Robert Estienne in 1543 and 'most probably the first complete Hebrew type specimen ever recorded' Lubell p. 258. De la Rouviere had used the same type for his 1614 Thesaurus linguae sanctae distinguished by the 'lamed with its distinctive flagged ascender the shin with the squared termination on the middle stroke and the gimmel with the bent middle stroke and calligraphic termination to the baseline . The attributions for this Picard typeface show a very wide distribution: Geneva Giessen Frankfurt and Hanau in Germany' and were likely spread by Andre Wechel who re-established his business in Frankfurt in the aftermath of the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre and likely 'managed to have some of his type brought to Frankfurt by Denis du Val his associate in Paris' or by Robert Estienne who brought much of his type to Geneva after 1549 ibid. pp. 259-60. Geneva gnvvA is often mistaken in the imprint as Genova. The title-page to each fascicle gives the date of 5377 i.e. 1617 but the colophon of the last portion Chronicles gives the date of 13 Av 5318 i.e. 28 July 1618 and the name of 'the German Johann Caspar from Oeder' trans. whose name also appears at the end of the Book of Esther. We have been un-able to identify the handsome gilt brocade endpapers depicting acanthus leaves and flowerpots and signed 'B.L.sC' although the interlacing geometric borders bear a resemblance to motifs employed by Georg Christoph Stoy cf.

VERY RARE FIRST EDITION IN EXEMPLARY CONDITION. This was the only edition of this scarce melange of theological commentary and philological criticism of the Hebrew Scriptures along with the author’s speculations on the construction of the Israelite tabernacle the latter accompanied by five large engraved illustrations. Born at Königsberg Prussia the noted German Orientalist David Mill 1692-1756 was professor of theology at the University of Utrecht. His inaugural oration “De fatis theologiae exegetica” was delivered 10 October 1729 and is included in the present collection along with his “Oratio de erudita pietate” 25 March 1743 a number of commentaries on various psalms and his "Dissertatio de Tabrnaculo Mosis to which five very large folding engraved plates are added. The volume comprises a tribute to professor Mill on the occasion of twenty-five years of service to the University and concludes with two verse encomia: “De erudita pietate peroranti” by Otto Arntzenius; and an “Elegia ad virum celeberrimum Davidem Millium” by Jacobus de Rhoer. In his later years Mill built a model of the Jerusalem Temple which eventually found its way to the attic of the University Library at Utrecht from whence it was rescued in the late nineteenth century by Leendert Schouten for his Biblical Museum Bijbels Museum in Amsterdam.
