Originally just the day when trees were considered a year older relevant in the ancient world for tithing purposes—Tu Bi'Shevat was transformed by the kabbalists of Safed into a celebration of nature its fruits and the Divine "tree" reaching toward us. At Tu Bi'Shevat seders the four cups of wine borrowed loosely from the Passover seder revitalized in modern times and inspired with an environmental consciousness we drink the fruit of the vine and eat many different kinds of fruit from trees—from the tough hard walnut to the luscious pomegranate—evoking different aspects of the Divine and of humanity.

rif. 117059Jerusalem Bezalel Circa 1920. . Original manuscript on vellum text arranged in 14 lines in Hebrew script scroll housed in an elaborately decorated silver filigree case stamped 'Made in Palestine 935' set with five semiprecious stones presumed Carnelian stone; scroll height 600 mm case height 220 mm engraved with 'Jerusalem' signature in Hebrew. A beautiful example of a Bezalel Megillah housed in a silver case with elaborate filigree and semiprecious stones. The Bezalel school was founded in 1906 in Jerusalem by the artist and professor Boris Schatz and was the first art school to be established in the Holy Land in the 20th century. Schatz who discussed his vision of opening an art school in the Land of Israel with Herzl when the two met in Vienna in 1903 chose to call the school Bezalel after the biblical artist Bezalel ben Uri ben Hur mentioned in the book of Exodus as the artist chosen by God to build the Tabernacle HaMishkan in Hebrew. According to the scripture this artist worked in silver gold copper stone and wood. By founding the school Schatz aimed to establish a national style of art blending classical Jewish European and Middle-Eastern traditions. In addition to traditional sculpture and painting training the school ran craft workshops that produced decorative objects in silver leather wood brass and fabric which were sold at exhibitions in Europe and the United States. Schatz's school was closed in 1929 and then reopened in the mid 1930s as the New Bezalel. In 1955 the school received its official academic acclaim and today the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design is Israel's national school of art as well as its oldest higher education institution. The art created by Bezalel's students and professors in the first decades of the 20th century is considered the stepping stone for Israeli visual arts. The Book of Esther is part of Ketuvim Writings the third section of the Hebrew Bible. It tells the story of a Jewish girl named Esther who became queen of Persia and thwarted a plan by Haman to commit genocide against her people. Also called The Megillah the book is the basis and an integral part of the Jewish celebration of Purim. Its full text is read aloud twice during the celebration in the evening and again the following morning. Besides Song of Songs it is the only book in the Bible that does not explicitly mention God. 'Since the Talmudic period it has been customary to write the Book of Esther on parchment in the form of a scroll and the rules governing its production and writing are basically the same as those for a traditional Torah scroll. It is not known when and under what circumstances artistic embellishment of Esther scrolls began. The earliest extant illuminated examples emanate from 16th-century Italy commissioned by well-to-do Italian Jews.' Encyclopaedia Judaica Jerusalem, Bezalel, [Circa 1920]. hardcover
rif. ST21189Seattle and London: University of Washington Press 2002. FIRST EDITION. 220 x 280 mm. 8 3/4 x 11". 222 pp. 1 leaf. LOVELY OCHER GOATSKIN BY JOHN FRANKLIN MOWERY stamp-signed "JFM 2002" on rear turn-in covers with blind-ruled frame surrounding seven columns of increasing height filled with a dense geometric pattern featuring small inlays highlighted in red and green smooth spine ruled and titled in blind. In a black slipcase with matching goatskin lip. Numerous color photographic plates in the text throughout. Bookplate of Werner L. Gundersheimer on front pastedown see below. A VERY FINE COPY--virtually unworn and internally pristine. This beautifully produced celebration of the Folger Shakespeare Library comes from the personal collection of its Emeritus Director and is offered in a fine binding executed by its former Head Conservator. Our binder J. Franklin Mowery studied bookbinding under Professor Kurt Londenberg at the Staatliche Hochschule für bildende Künste Academy of Art in Hamburg and trained as a paper conservator under Otto Wächter in Vienna before returning to the U.S where he served as the head of conservation at the Folger for 37 years. At the same time he continuing to take private binding commissions for which he was highly acclaimed even having a solo show of his work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1982. Produced on the 70th anniversary of the Folger Shakespeare Library "Infinite Variety" aims as the introduction says to fill the "long-felt need" for a "comprehensive survey of the library's collections and activities for the general public" with contributions from many of the library's staff members including Mowery. The binding demonstrates Mowery's skill the buttery goatskin tooled with precision to a design that is elegantly designed complex and yet slightly whimsical not unlike the works of Shakespeare. According to Mowery's article "A Binder's Training" "Guild of Book Workers' Journal" XX 1981-82 the blind-stamping technique seen here was "particularly favored by Professor Londenberg" and often employed by Mowery for the range of design possibilities it offers. The method uses dies to stamp the patterns: "a photographic process can transfer any black and white image onto zinc plates that are deeply etched and mounted onto type-high metal blocks for heated impressions or onto wood for cold embossing." Former owner Werner L. Gundersheimer b. 1937 served as the director of the Folger from 1984-2002 and has served as Director Emeritus since 2004. His tenure was marked by growth in the library's collections as well as increased academic fellowships and public outreach. University of Washington Press unknown

1814rif. 1160Middletown CT. 1814. Folio. 320 x 200 mm. 12 ½ x 8 inches. 424 leaves. Textblock sewn with original drab paper wrappers. Wrappers with a few tears and folds at the edges some staining and a few ink marks; otherwise a remarkably well preserved manuscript work book. Fine example of an early American arithmetic work book filled with examples applicable to the mercantile or dry goods trade. Includes exercises in simple addition addition of Federal Money simple subtraction subtraction of Federal Money simple multiplication and the application and use of multiplication in making out bills determining quantity and finding the value of goods. This part includes examples of establishing the cost of paper pairs of men’s shoes bushels of oats and other grains and food commodities. This is followed by exercises in division compound addition Sterling money weights and measures Troy weight Avoirdupois apothecaries cloth wine and the measurement of land. Of the examples we especially note math problems concerning distances on the East Coast including New York to Philadelphia; a wine merchant’s dwindling quantity of ‘pipe wine’; and a tailor’s bill for materials and making of a silk coat vest and buttons.”   A final question to be solved reads as follows: “The war between England and America commenced April 19 1775 and a general peace took place January 20th 1783 how long did the war continue” Miss Taggart’s calculations break down the problem into years months and days to arrive at the correct answer. The contents of the manuscript suggest that Ms. Taggart may have been training to work in a commercial setting selling goods such as the one listed in the fictional Bill of Parcels. Although it is well known that women especially wives of the owners of general stores managed the business side of a mercantile enterprise it is very rare to have an exercise book penned by a woman that documents the method of learning complex mathematics and business practices. In this case Esther Taggart was very proud of the work she was doing and she signed the book four different time; once on the inside cover; once on p. 9 “Esther Taggart’s Manuscript”; once on p. 45 again signing it “Esther Taggart’s Manuscript” and finally on the inside rear wrapper. Although we are not sure which New England town named Middletown was Esther’s home we think it was Connecticut. On the sample “Bill of Parcel” that appears on the verso of leaf 11 the example cites New London as the origin of the invoice. . unknown
