BINDING: Early almost certainly contemporary reddish-brown leather over wooden boards flat spine with three slightly raised bands head and tail bands clasp and catch fastening front to back with brass catch lettered ave front cover decorated most likely in the nineteenth century with an attractive painted border in green orange and gray connecting four brass studs and the title De laudibus et miraculis divi Hieronymi with initials F.C. at the bottom back pastedown is leaf from a late fourteenth-century Italian copy of Donatuss Latin grammar front pastedown shows offset script from removed pastedown from a fourteenth-century Italian text in Latin verse. TEXT: This manuscript is a vivid witness to the importance of St. Jerome in fifteenth-century Italy and includes the foundational texts for his cult: three letters regarding his death miracles and titles to glory and veneration and purporting to be written by three contemporaries of St. Jerome c. 347-420 namely St. Eusebius of Cremona d. 423 St. Augustine of Hippo 354-430 and Bishop Cyril of Jerusalem c. 313-386 but probably written in Rome at the end of the thirteenth or beginning of the fourteenth century; a life of St. Jerome by an unknown author probably writing in Italy in the twelth century; and Jeromes own life of St. Paul the Hermit written in 374 or 375. These texts were widely disseminated in both Latin and in vernacular translations and they influenced the work of numerous writers and visual artists. ILLUSTRATION: The iconographical choice in the historiated initial f. 1 to depict the ascetic Jerome contemplating the Crucifixion dates from c. 1400 in Italy and can be particularly associated with Hieronymite congregations in Tuscany. PROVENANCE: Copied in Northern Italy in the middle years of the fifteenth century as suggested by the evidence of the script and decoration; the penwork initials in particular seem to point to Northern Italy. The manuscript almost certainly once included the coat of arms of its original owner in the lower margin of the illuminated border on f. 1. Three sets of initials are inscribed in three different hands all possibly initials of owners: within the roundel on f. 1 a modern owner inscribed an outline of a shield in pen and the initials F.A.; inside front cover white embossed seal with the initials L.F.; on front cover as part of the added decoration F. C. CONDITION: Slight loss of the leather at the back top of the spine and over the lower band of the binding; top of the painted border on f. 1 is very slightly trimmed; f. 1 is darkened; and there is some soiling throughout but overall in very good condition.

1885réf. 141131885. Jerusalem Holy Land Jaffa Bonfils Félix Adrien. Jerusalem views c. 1880s document the circulation of commercially produced photographic imagery of the Holy Land within late nineteenth century European and American visual culture supporting research into Ottoman Palestine early mass tourism and the construction of sacred geography through photography. Produced by one of the first large-scale commercial photographers operating in the Middle East the images establish how Jerusalem was framed for external audiences through carefully composed views of religious monuments fortified architecture and active urban spaces. The photographs provide direct visual evidence of the city prior to twentieth century political transformation with particular emphasis on Christian pilgrimage sites Islamic architectural presence and everyday economic activity occurring alongside monumental structures. Three original albumen photographs each approximately 11 x 8.5 inches unmounted depicting distinct but related views of Jerusalem. One image captioned "255 Eglise Ste-Anne et vue generale de Jerusalem" presents St. Anne's Church within a wider panoramic view of the المدينة combining ecclesiastical architecture with dense urban settlement. A second photograph shows the fortress near the Jaffa Gate with a foreground market scene including carts animals and clustered goods documenting commercial exchange occurring directly adjacent to the city's defensive walls. The third image depicts the Golden Gate emphasizing masonry detail and the monumental scale of Jerusalem's eastern wall a site of longstanding religious significance in Jewish and Islamic traditions. Each photograph bears the characteristic compositional clarity and captioning style associated with Bonfils' studio production. Produced during the final decades of Ottoman administration these photographs align with the expansion of photographic tourism and the increased circulation of Holy Land imagery among European and American audiences seeking visual access to biblical and historical sites. Bonfils' work functioned within a broader commercial network supplying images to travelers scholars and institutions shaping how Jerusalem was documented interpreted and disseminated internationally. Light surface wear minor tonal variation and occasional creasing consistent with albumen prints of the period; overall very good condition. Together the group provides a cohesive visual record of Jerusalem's architectural religious and commercial landscape at a moment when photography played a central role in defining the city's global historical image. unknown books

1885réf. 139371885. American Colony Photo Department. Two views of Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives circa 1898 to the early twentieth century document the city and surrounding cultivated landscape during the late Ottoman era. Photographed before extensive twentieth-century urban expansion transformed the slopes east of the Old City the images preserve olive groves roads scattered buildings and broad topographical relationships between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives. They support research into the historical geography of Jerusalem Ottoman Palestine pilgrimage photography landscape change and the role of resident photographic studios in shaping international visual knowledge of the Holy Land. The American Colony Photo Department was established in Jerusalem in 1898 and became one of the region's important commercial photographic services producing views of sacred sites settlements people and contemporary events for tourists and a wider international audience. Albumen photographs circa 1898 to the early twentieth century each measuring approximately 10½ × 14 inches and mounted recto and verso on the same 14 × 20 inch card. The recto presents Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives with mature olive trees occupying the foreground and the densely built city extending across the distant horizon. Printed along the lower center is the bilingual caption "Jerusalem. from Mt. of Olives. Jerusalem du Mont de Oliviers." while the American Colony Jerusalem emblem appears within the trunk of an olive tree at lower right. The verso captioned "Mount Olivet" shifts attention away from the distant city to the Mount itself: a hill rises in the background above olive trees dispersed buildings and a network of intersecting unpaved roads. The American Colony Jerusalem emblem appears at lower left. Together the paired compositions record both the celebrated panoramic viewpoint and the agricultural architectural and transportation landscape surrounding it. The views belong to a commercial photographic tradition that served travelers and pilgrims while also creating a sustained visual record of Jerusalem and Palestine. Unlike photographers who visited the region briefly members of the American Colony lived and worked in Jerusalem and the department developed an extensive stock of images depicting the city and its environs; a 1914 catalogue documents the circulation of such views as part of the firm's early commercial inventory. The mount has slight warping while both albumen prints retain strong visual clarity with no substantial defects noted; photographs near fine mount very good. The unusually large two-sided presentation offers complementary evidence of Jerusalem's urban profile and the comparatively open Mount of Olives landscape before later development. unknown books

1885réf. 140841885. Dome of the Rock interior nineteenth century records the exposed Foundation Stone at the center of one of Jerusalem's principal sacred monuments. Completed in 691-692 CE under the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik the Dome of the Rock stands on the Haram al-Sharif or Temple Mount a site central to Islamic and Jewish sacred traditions and also closely connected with Christian biblical history. The photograph preserves the relationship between the Rock itself and the architectural enclosure constructed around it more than a millennium earlier. Albumen print measuring 11" x 8.5" unmounted. The Foundation Stone occupies the foreground while columns arches and the decorated interior rise behind it. The surrounding colonnades are faced with marble in their lower sections with mosaic ornament above allowing the photograph to record both the irregular natural surface of the Rock and the elaborate architectural treatment of its enclosure. Jewish tradition associates the Temple Mount with the First and Second Temples and identifies the Rock with the site of the Holy of Holies; the Second Temple was destroyed by Roman forces under Titus in 70 CE. Islamic tradition connects the Rock with Muhammad's Night Journey and ascent to heaven while traditions associated with Abraham's attempted sacrifice also attach sacred meaning to the site. The Dome of the Rock occupies the Haram al-Sharif alongside the Al-Aqsa Mosque and other religious and educational buildings. Nineteenth century photographs of its interior recorded spaces that were considerably less accessible to many Western travelers than Jerusalem's exterior monuments while the albumen process circulated such views through the expanding photographic market for images of the Holy Land. Very good condition. A detailed nineteenth century interior view centered on the Foundation Stone and the marble and mosaic architectural decoration surrounding it. unknown books

1947réf. 383071947. JUDAICAÑZIONISM. Kriath Kodesh Call to Yeshiva Students. Jerusalem: Kislev 1947-48. Broadside measures 10 by 13-1/2 inches printed on recto. $1800.1947 Jerusalem Orthodox broadside against Òthe Zionists who wish to uproot the TorahÓ illustrative of the conflicts among Zionists and other factions in Jerusalem just prior to the creation of the state of Israel.This broadside states that it is the scholars of Torah who are the Neturei Karta Òthe protectors of the city.Ó ÒThe forces which were contending over the nature of the new society were divided into three broad groupsÉ Socialist Zionists known as the HistadrutÉ middle-class elements anti-Socialist RevisionistsÉ and the Orthodox who could not imagine a Jewish presence in the land which did not exemplify the values and practices of the religious traditionÓ Encyclopaedia Judaica. These three factions came to maturity as the Zionist settlement in Palestine increased tenfold from roughly 60000 in 1919 to 600000 in the 1940s. This broadside goes on to claim ÒWhomever has any relationship with the Zionists-even enlisting in the Haganah-becomes a partner in actions against Judaism.Ó ÒOrthodox elements were dedicated to the building of an institutional power base for religious Jews so that they could compete as equals with the other groups and provide equal opportunity in the new country for those who shared the Orthodox religious faith. This body of opinion was deeply concerned that the total temper of the Jewish community should not be secularized. They did not want to become a religious ghetto in a non-religious Jewish society and they believed that it was their duty to bring religion even to those who opposed itÉ The struggle between the Socialist and the middle-class elements in IsraelÕs society has been muted in the generation of statehood for a mixed economy now prevails. The conflict over religion and its relationship to public life has if anything become sharper within the sovereign parliamentary life of the Jewish stateÓ Encyclopaedia Judaica. Text in Hebrew.
