1919réf. 0008194DAMASCUS PRE SYRIA POST OTTOMAN EMPIRE. Fair. 1919. On offer is a powerful poignant letter written by an early Zionist and volunteer of the Jewish Legion in Damascus immediately after the end of WW1. The letter contains 2 double-sided sheets measuring 9' x 5.8' and an envelope measuring 5.9' x 4.9'. The envelope has no inscriptions or stamps except a round sticker with bookseller's name - "Coles" the sheets are yellowed and torn in half at folds but it does not affect the text which is perfectly legible. The letter is written in Hebrew addressed to Shimon and signed by Shlomo Solomon. It seems from the context that they are very close friends. The first page bears the date and place: Damascus August 20 1919. It is also clear that the author was a Dutch Jew who had lived in Eretz Israel for some time before joining the military. Based on the date when he joined the army summer 1918 and other context it can be said with high level of certainty that he was a member of the Jewish Legion. The Jewish Legion was the name of 39th through 42nd Battalions of the Royal Fusiliers in the British Army that were formed of Jewish volunteers. The formation of a Jewish Regiment was initiative of Zeev Jabotinsky and Joseph Trumpeldor promoted by John Henry Patterson. Among its members were also David Ben-Gurion Dov Hoz Yitzhak Ben-Zvi Yakov Drori Levi Eshkol and other famous Zionist leaders many later became members of Haganah and laid the foundation of the Israel Defence Army. The initial unit Zion Mule Corps was formed in 1914 - 1915 in August 1917 formation of a Jewish regiment was officially announced in spring and summer 1918 volunteers from Palestine joined 39th and 40th Battalions and started service. That's exactly when the author volunteered: "My Dear Shimon some time ago I received your last letter probably the first one that you wrote to me in Hebrew and now I have a little more time and will answer to you when I am calm also in Hebrew - now I have been a soldier for over a year but what we hoped for when we volunteered for the Army was not realized.". There is something deeply moving in this letter full of thoughts about the future of Israel: "Until there is Jewish Army in the full sense of the word probably a long time must pass. This moment has not come yet. Unfortunately that's what we feel deep in our hearts. But anyway these times have been times of very important and interesting experiments and in this sense this time --- has not been lost" p.1; ".it is not possible yet to breathe freely much is still missing we can only hope that soon . the way out of the darkness the uncertainty where we are now will become clear that it will be possible to start large great fruitful work the giant work requiring all our spiritual and physical efforts without a second thought of each and each of us . to achieve our supreme goal our people living in the Land of Israel - happy people in fertile land" p.2. He has acute interest in current affairs of the Zionist movement writing about the convention of the Va'ad HaPoel HaZioni The Action Committee that was convening in London in the last week of August. The purpose of the congress was to work out principles of the Zionist movement in the era after the WW1 and the Balfour Declaration: ".Only when all great difficulties will be defeated when the situation is settled. This is our heart hope! . the convention that will be now in London will contribute to clearing up the situation. Is this convention a sort of a congress of representatives from all countries also from Germany and Austria Otherwise it is not a general convention and it will not have any authority to make declarations in the name of all Zionism". He is particularly interested in developments in Zionist movement in Holland mentioning names of some noted Dutch Zionists. He writes about his mood and frustrations from the army service and mentions his family: "I want for once to live like a human being because life in the army is not life at the end. ---. I have been sent to work at different army offices and now I am in Damascus. It is interesting to see some of the world this way but that is not what I have volunteered to the Hebrew army for. But what to do ----. And I do not think that I will be able to get back to life until the next summer. I also wanted to go and see the mother and everyone and breathe a little different air after a while." He asks Shimon about his plans to come: "What do you think about coming to Israel And what do they think about your preparations . I have not seen any Dutch that came to Israel so far. Neither De Haan nor Van Friesland nor . I hope now to be near Jaffa and Jerusalem. What about the other that you wrote would come here". De Haan was a Dutch Jewish writer and journalist who became interested in Judaism and Zionism he actually moved to Israel the same year later became close with Orthodox community and get into conflict with secular Zionists 5 years later he was killed by Haganah members for his anti-Zionist activity. In the letter Shlomo also asks about his letters published by Handelsblad the most important daily newspaper in Holland.

1793réf. 5161Guadalaxara: En la Imprenta de Don Mariano Valdes Tellez Giron 1793. About very good. 6xxviii2492pp. Small quarto. Original plain wrappers stitched as issued. Light dampstaining to wrappers slightly affecting gutter margin of outer text leaves. Some worming primarily in the gutter but affecting a few words of text. The first production of the first press in Guadalajara the fourth city in Mexico to have a printing press. The work commemorates the funeral obsequies of Fray Antonio Alcalde Barriga the Dominican Bishop of Guadalajara. Alcalde was a prominent preacher and minister in Spain for three decades until King Charles III sent him to Mexico in 1763; he became the Bishop of Guadalajara in 1771 and served in that capacity until his death in 1792. Following his arrival in the city he helped to establish the Hospital San Miguel and the Universidad de Guadalajara and dedicated much of his time and resources to the construction and restoration of churches and schools in the diocese. This book begins with a Latin eulogy given by José Apolonari de Vizcarra the rector of the seminary in Guadalajara who had been ordained and appointed by Alcalde. The second major component of this work is the Spanish-language sermon that was pronounced at the funeral by Juan José Moreno y Pizano the canon of the city cathedral and another Alcalde appointment. The final section is composed of copies of documents illustrative of the generosity and goodness that characterized the bishop's life including several decrees and a long detailed list of his gifts to various monasteries convents and schools. The volume ends with a sizable indeed somewhat embarrassing list of errata for the eulogy and sermon. The first printer of Guadalajara and the publisher of the present work was Mariano Valdés Tellez Giron. Sometime before 1792 city authorities and well-places private individuals in Guadalajara began to solicit among the printers of Mexico City to attract one of them to their growing metropolis. At first there were no takers but eventually Manuel Antonio Valdés the editor of the Gazeta de México accepted their offer and guarantees and sent his son Mariano to fill the position. The father ordered new type and equipment from Spain and all of the necessary permissions for establishing the first press of Guadalajara were in place by February 1792 but Valdés Tellez Giron did not arrive until the beginning of the next year. As with all first presses the available work was less than promised or envisioned but Valdés persisted and probably did much more job printing than book and broadside work. His presswork is characterized by neatness and good page design. "The first book printed in Guadalajara. Considerable biographical information of the Bishop and details of his Mexican achievements are given by Father Juan Joseph Moreno in this the funeral sermon for the Bishop" - Nebenzahl. The importance and scarcity of this work are underscored by its facsimile reproduction in a limited edition of fifty copies in 1982.
