Spine creased wrappers toned ink name inside. Text clean and unmarked. xxvii 372 pp. Translated into English by Philip Hereford and edited with an introduction for this edition by Fred Reinfeld. Almost a century ago a chess book about positional play and strategic concepts appeared on the chess scene. Written by a Latvian grandmaster residing in Denmark it quickly took its place as one of the classics of chess literature. Since then Aron Nimzovich's magnum opus My System has been embraced by every generation of chessplayers. For many years Nimzovich was known as the "Stormy Petrel" of the chess world. Today his profound theories of positional chess are accepted as a matter of course and a knowledge of them is essential to every player who wants to improve their game.

1928réf. 55257Leipzig: Verlag Karl W. Hiersemann 1928. Limited edition. Hardcover. Very good condition. 1/350 copies. This is #326 hand-numbered on the colophon at the rear of the facsimile volume. This set provides a stunning full reproduction of the beautiful and notable late medieval illuminated manuscript Haggadah held at the State Library of Darmstadt along with critical text discussing the work. Originally produced by the scribe Israel Ben Meir of Heidelberg in conjunction with an unidentified artist this fascinating Passover Haggadah has been noted for its unique illustrations. Scholars have remarked on its inclusion of egalitarian images of men and women and have noted that it visually seems to have more in common with non-Jewish works from the period. The last two leaves of the manuscript are not connected with the Passover text but instead depict a hunting scene and the Fountain of Youth. All though the scholarly text of this edition written by German Rabbi Bruno Italiener 1881-1951 along with German art historian August L. Mayer 1885-1944 historian Aron Freimann 1871-1948 and Adolf Schmidt dates the manuscript to the 14th century superseding scholarship has now ruled out that possibility for stylistic reasons. The manuscript is now believed to have been produced sometime around 1430. Vol.1 text: Octavo. xi 1 313 1pp. 16 plates. Pebbled leather over decorative paper boards with gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the spine. Top edge in gilt. Frontispiece b/w photographic reproduction of the binding of the original manuscript. German and Hebrew text throughout critically discusses the Haggadah manuscript and analyses a number of other related manuscripts from the period. The final leaves contain 16 plates of high quality b/w photogravure reproducing pages of various manuscripts mentioned in the text. Vol. 2 "tafelband" facsimile volume: Folio. 58 double-sided leaves. Pebbled leather over decorative paper boards with gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the spine. Top edge in gilt. This volume gorgeously reproduces in full the content of the illuminated manuscript Haggadah. The reproduction utilizes what was at the time state of the art full color photography highlighted with lustrous gilt overprinting. The visual reproduction is surprising in its faithful accurate and vibrant reproduction of the leaves text and imagery. The resulting facsimile is successfully able to replicate the look and feel as well as the physical aspects of the interior of the original manuscript. Text volume with very minor rubbing to extremities of the binding and some minor foxing to the bottom and foredges of the book block.

1973réf. 39864New York: American Academy for Jewish Research 1973. First edition. Hardcover. g to vg. The "Union Catalog of Hebrew Manuscripts and Their Location" is comprised of two volumes: - Volume One: Index 1973. Folio. XXXIV 280pp. Original full green cloth with gold lettering to spine. Index by Menahem Hayyim Schmelzer; Introduction by Salo Wittmayer Baron and "Aron Freimann: A Personal Tribute" by Shelomo Dov Goiten. This volume includes a list of frequently used abbreviations; a list of locations owners of manuscripts catalogs and their symbols; and an authoritative index in Roman characters. - Volume Two 1964. Folio. 4pp Title and Preface 462pp. Original full green cloth with silver lettering to spine. Preface by Saul Lieberman. This volume contains some 12000 handwritten cards photo-mechanically reproduced. These cards were prepared over a long period of time by the late Professor Aron Freimann who died before he was able to complete his work and to see it through the press. Freimann's intention was to provide scholars with a complete list of all known manuscripts written in Hebrew characters. The entries on the cards usually include the following information: 1. Hebrew title 2. Author in German or in English transliteration 3. Subject in German or in English 4. Location generally indicated by symbols 5. Bibliography The book is arranged by titles and notes the known locations of the manuscripts. Freimann's catalog is based almost solely on secondary material catalogs and other printed sources. Many of the sources he used were compiled over a century ago and never revised. The catalog is incomplete and the locations of some of the manuscripts are no longer valid. Its references to secondary literature about the manuscript or author however are valuable to the bibliographer and researcher. Therefore it remains an important bibliographical resource.

Raymond Aron's 1955 masterpiece The Opium of the Intellectuals is one of the great works of twentieth- century political reflection. Aron shows how noble ideas can slide into the tyranny of "secular religion" and emphasizes how political thought has the profound responsibility of telling the truth about social and political reality-in all its mundane imperfections and tragic complexities. Aron explodes the three "myths" of radical thought: the Left the Revolution and the Proletariat. Each of these ideas Aron shows are ideological mystifying rather than illuminating. He also provides a fascinating sociology of intellectual life and a powerful critique of historical determinism in the classically restrained prose for which he is justly famous.
