1880réf. 43529Cincinnati & Chicago: From the American Hebrew Publishing House the Bloch Publishing and Printing Company 1880. 1880s Preface is dated 1856. Original Full Leather binding with black & gilt spine label 12mo 2 leaves iii-xii 1243 pages. 17 cm. Title in Hebrew at head of title. Copyright page lists 1853 the copyright date for the first edition of Leeser's original translation of the Twenty Four Books of the Holy Scriptures published in 1854. The present Preface is dated Philadelphia 1856. The 1880s date is based on Singerman 3204 which notes the presence of the "undated 'Advertisement to the London Edition.' Repeated.in undated Bloch editions 1243 p. with acopyright date of 1853." Preceding the 1856 Preface is the undated 4-page "Advertisement to the London Edition" which notes that "This corrected version supplies an admitted want to our times. The so-called Authorized or Anglican version of the Scriptures.betrays great need for revision.Jews who of their own accord introduce the Anglican version into their households and who provide none other for the schools commit a flagrant breach of sacred trust in the abandonment of those for whose safe guidance they are immediately responsible to a helpless ignorance of truth-an ignorance all the more fatal because false interpreataions are obtruded in season and out of season with an unscrupulous object-to procure apostasy i.e. conversion from Judaism.Hence this version accomplished by a learned and conscientious Hebraist i.e. Leeser has found acceptance from all denominations. In the 10-page 1856 Preface Leeser explains in detail the need for his new translation giving many examples from earlier Christian translations of what we would today call "Christian bias." Leeser here acknowledges recent partial Jewish translations noting "Hitherto-at least before the completion of the first edition of this work two years ago-no other translation in the English had been completed by Jews although several had been commenced; for instance Dr. Raphall's and Mr. A. De Sola's and Mr Lindenthal's book of Genesis with Hebrew text and ample notes and Dr. Benische's version with Hebrew text to the end of the Second Book of Kings." OCLC 233529725 locates 4 copies worldwide U Illinois Andrews U Community of Christ MO UPenn of an "1853" edition published in "Cincinnati ; Chicago : from the American Hebrew Pub. House the Bloch Pub. and Print. Co." with 1243 pages and 17 cm high ours is 16 cm. However the OCLC listing notes neither the "Advertisement to the London Edition" nor Leeser's Preface of 1856 both of whose pagination does not affect that of the main text. Such was the enmity between Leeser and leaders of the Reform movement that it would seem surprising that Leeser would authorize a Bloch publication of his bible during his lifetime given that Bloch was owned by Isaac M. Wise' brother-in-law Edward Bloch. Only a year after the date of the preface in our copy Leeser famously printed an "anonymous attack on Wise signed 'Lawyers' in the pages of his Occident shortly after the appearance of Minhag Amerika in 1857. Leesers' anti-Reform rejoinder singled out Bloch & Co. for allegedly keeping its store open on the Jewish Sabbath and closing it on Sunday the Christian Sabbath." Singerman. In our Bloch copy the copyright is still held by Isaac Leeser; It was not until 1888 20 years after Leeser's death in 1868 that "his Bloch's firm obtained the copyright of this popular and frequently reprinted landmark text." Neither Singerman nor Goldman list any edition published by Bloch before 1884. Singerman Nr 1418 and Goldman Nr 13 both list a similar edition 1856 published in Philadelphia by C. Sherman & Son also with the 1856 Preface and identical pagination and physically smaller than the 1853 ed.with a new preface by Leeser." Goldman specifically writes that the "Advertisement to the London Edition" does not appear until an 1865 edition is "published in London in 5625 1865 by Trubner & Co. printed by John Childs and Son. Explaining the need for a new translation in the prefatory 'advertisement' the publisher criticized the standard King James Version authorized by the English Church for being flawed with 'abundant cases of false rendering' and 'propagandist tendencies.' They thus chose to issue Leeser's translation despite the existence of English translations by Christians because "this version accomplished by a learned and conscientious Hebraist has found acceptance from all denominations." This may be a previously unrecorded stereotype reissue of Trubner's London edition by Bloch issued with the 1853 Copyright date the 1856 Preface and the undated Advertisement though its mid-19th Century binding with black leather spine label would not be much later than 1880.

1889réf. GW-CastleNew York: P. J. Kennedy 1889 New York: P. J. Kennedy 1889. Early American edition. Hardcover. Publisher's original green cloth gilt spine lettering and decorative stamping. Corners slightly worn; a sound and clean copy. Octavo. "The Castle of Roussillon; Or Quercy in the Sixteenth Century" is a Catholic historical romance set in the French province of Quercy during the sixteenth century at the height of the wars of religion. Eugénie de La Rochère dramatizes conflict between Catholics and Huguenots weaving local legend romance and themes of fidelity under persecution. With its castle setting religious strife and atmosphere of intrigue and danger the novel belongs to the Catholic Gothic-historical tradition popular in the nineteenth century. Eugénie de La Rochère was a French Catholic writer of the nineteenth century known for historical fiction that combined regional history with moral and religious themes. Though little remembered outside Catholic circles her works were valued for their piety sense of place and dramatic storytelling. She was among a group of French Catholic novelists whose writings were widely translated and circulated through the international Catholic press. The translator Mary Anne Madden Sadlier 1820-1903 was one of the most prolific Catholic novelists and translators in North America. Irish-born and later based in Montreal and New York she wrote original novels about the Irish immigrant experience and translated numerous Catholic authors from French making them available to English-speaking readers. Her association with New York's P. J. Kennedy press was long-standing and central to its Catholic publishing program which brought devotional and moral fiction to immigrant Catholic communities. Though not the first American edition this 1885 Kennedy issue is significant as part of New Yorks Catholic publishing network linking Paris Montreal and New York. Copies of La Rochère's works are uncommon in any edition and this Kennedy printing preserves both her historical novel and Sadlier's translation at a time when Catholic presses were actively shaping immigrant literary culture.

1821réf. 20381Milano: Presso Paolo Antonio Tosi & Comp. Typof Gio. Perottaography 1821. Hardcover. Pebbled cloth spines and corners. Marbled paper pastedown on boards. Very Good. A magisterial work on the immense symbolic and allegorical vocabulary used in painting and sculpture in the early Modern era. While no work could possibly encompass every iconographic essay nor hope to capture the infinite variants on particular iconographic notions this work comes as close as possible and brings order to the subject that probably baffles many a modern museum goer. Plus the illustrations are pleasing in and of themselves. 4to. Vol. 1: xii 17-240 8 pp. Missing pages with descriptions of plates 1 to 8. Vol. 2: 1-240 8 pp. Plate volume: 240 hand-colored etched plates all painted by Pistrucci. Think of a human personality trait or of any allegorical painting's subject and Pistrucci renders a version that captures the typical representation of it. Often times the representation is of a dichotomy such as day and night east and west early and late fertility and sterility. Pistrucci's style befits the mythological tenor of the genre and one can easily imagine the same images as part of the stately decoration of a monument an august public edifice a theater -- the ceiling fresco a frieze a sculpted pediment. Scattered light soiling including occasional foxing. Plates are generally clean and bright. Both volumes rebacked with black cloth spine labels preserved and mounted. Both copies tight. Moderate wear along edges. As mentioned already pages 1-16 missing from the first volume. Presso Paolo Antonio Tosi & Comp. Typof Gio. Perottaography hardcover
