Maimonides (1135 or 1138-1204) was a Jewish rabbi, physician, and philosopher in Spain and Egypt during the Middle Ages. He was one of the various medieval Jewish philosophers who also influenced the non-Jewish world. Although his copious works on Jewish law and ethics were initially met with opposition during his lifetime, he was posthumously acknowledged to be one of the foremost rabbinical arbiters and philosophers in Jewish history. Today, his works and his views are considered a cornerstone of Orthodox Jewish thought and study - Wikipedia. JUDAICA BOX 3

"The Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment, was an intellectual movement in Europe that lasted from approximately the 1770s to the 1880s. The Haskalah was inspired by the European Enlightenment but had a Jewish character. It encouraged Jews to study secular subjects, to learn both the European and Hebrew languages, and to enter fields such as agriculture, crafts, the arts and science. The maskilim (followers of the Haskalah) tried to assimilate into European society in dress, language, manners and loyalty to the ruling power. The Haskalah eventually influenced the creation of both the Reform and Zionist movements" - Shira Schoenberg. Some of its leaders in Russia were: Tobias Cohn; Isaac bar Levinsohn; Max Lilienthal; Alexander Zederbaum; Perez ben Mosheh Smolenskin; Moses Lob Lilienblum; and others. Very good copy. JUDAICA BOX 2

Edward Henry Weston (1886-1958) was a 20th century American photographer. One of the most innovative and influential American photographers, he photographed an increasingly expansive set of subjects, including landscapes, still lifes, nudes, portraits, genre scenes and even whimsical parodies. It is said that he developed a "quintessentially American, and specially Californian, approach to modern photography" because of his focus on the people and places of the American West. In 1937 Weston was the first photographer to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship, and over the next two years he produced nearly 1,400 negatives using his 8 x 10 view camera. Some of his most famous photographs were taken of the trees and rocks at Point Lobos, California, near where he lived for many years. W101

1620In Firenze per Pietro Cecconcelli, 1620 (alle Stelle Medicee). (mm. 150). Pergamena dell’epoca con titolo manoscritto al dorso. pp. (24), 403, (2), 1 c.b. La struttura portante dell’opera trovava nell’atto di ricomprensione del “tempo” del morire nel “tempo” della vita: per il Bellarmino, la “fine” terrena non è antitetica, né contrapposta alla vita, bensì ne è parte rilevante, ne è il culmine estremo, la possibilità conclusiva; pertanto, l’unica arte per ben morire non è altro che quella di chi impara a ben vivere nel quotidiano, perché se la morte è il termine della vita (ed essa è, quindi, anche parte della vita, perché il termine di una cosa è compreso nella cosa stessa), è certo che chi vivrà bene ogni suo giorno terreno, fino alla fine della propria esistenza, morirà anche bene; “né potrà morire male chi non è mai vissuto male. Allo stesso modo, chi è vissuto male, muore anche male; né può non morire male chi non è mai vissuto bene”. Prima edizione in italiano. Si unisce l'edizione in latino: BELLARMINO ROBERTO. De arte bene moriendi libri duo. Venetiis, MDCCXLVI (1746) apud Joannem Tiberninum sub signo providentiae. (mm. 148 x 72). Pergamena dell’epoca con titolo manoscritto al dorso. pp. 216. Ottimo esemplare.
