First edition of this compendium one of two issues the other published by Johann Coster in which nine celebrated early modern Christian hebraists advance their views on the original pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton YHWH. The celebrated hebraist and Old Testament scholar Adriaan Reland 1676-1718 judged by Bayle to be one of the most learned writers of the eighteenth century is best remembered for his works on Jewish antiquities. He edited various other collections of essays and dissertations including Analecta Rabbinica 1702; Dissertationes miscellaneae 1706-1708; Dissertationes de nummis veterum Hebraeorum 1709. His opinion on the proper pronunciation of YHWY agrees with the first five hebraists in the present collection as well as the current scholarly consensus. I.- Johannes Drusius the elder 1550-1615 Tetragrammaton sive de nomine Dei proprio. II. - Sixtinus Amama 1593-1629 De nomine tetragrammato. with a response to Fuller. III. - Louis Cappel 1585-1658 Oratio de SS. Dei nomine tetragammato YHWH ac genuina ejus pronunciatione -- see Burnett Buxtorf 229: "Shortly after his appointment ot Saumur in 1613 he began his studies in biblical philology and textual criticism. His lecture on the Tetragrammaton delivered on June 22 1614 attests to a preoccupation with methodology which would distinguish his later work." This was later printed in the Arcanum punctationis 1624 and here in our volume. IV. - Johann Buxtorf the elder 1565-1629 Dissertatio de nomine YHWH -- see Burnett Buxtorf 124: "For the Tetragrammaton alone Buxtorf devoted ten pages of discussion in his 1615 Lexicon Hebraicum et Chaldaicum." V. - Jacob Alting 1618-1679 Exercitatio grammatica De punctis ac pronunciatione tetragrammati YHWH. VI. - Nicolus Fuller 1557-1626 Dissertatio de nomine YHWH -- see Orme and his note on Drusius' charge of plagiarism against. VII. - Thomas Gataker 1574-1654 De nomine tetragrammato dissertatio. London 1645 - Gataker later defended himself against Cappel in Thomae Gatakeri . Dissertationis de Tetragrammato suæ a D. Ludovici Cappelli in diatribæ de eodem suæ defensione nuperâ adversus eandem objectis Vindicatio London 1652. VIII-X. - Johannes Leusden 1624-1699 Dissertationes tres de vera lectione nominis Jehova.

1866rif. 43052Washington D.C.: n.p. 1866. First edition. A very good copy with inch marginal closed tear light soiling faint marginal stain. Broadside. 6 x 9 1/2 inches. Michigan senator Jacob Merritt Howard 1805-1871 who had worked closely with Lincoln in drafting and passing the Thirteenth Amendment was a strong supporter of his measures including "emergency actions during the secession crisis and advocated 'severe exemplary and speedy punishment of the rebels. He was especially vocal on all matters pertaining to the confiscation of rebel property and the emancipation of slaves. He was also one of the most forceful advocates of the 1863 Conscription Act" ANBO. His ire extended to trying for treason the Confederate leaders. In December he wanted to know why Davis had not been put on trial and now despite it being well-known that Davis did not have complicity in Lincoln's murder he declared in this resolution that Davis be "charged with the crimes of having incited the assassination of Abraham Lincoln President of the United States and with the murder of soldiers of the Unites States held a prisoners of war during the rebellion and other cruel and barbarous practices in violation of the rules and usages of civilized war." Clement C. Clay was also to be tried. It appears that Merritt's resolution never made it to the floor for a second reading as was required by law. Scarce.

1983rif. S13009Cambridge:: Cambridge University Press 1983. 1983. 8vo. viii 222 pp. Index. Brown gilt-stamped cloth dust-jacket. Near fine. "Called 'the most noted person of his age' by Anthony Wood Henry Stubbe 1632–76 classicist polemicist physician philosopher and the most important critic of the early Royal Society has never had a biography. This study seeks to fill that gap while standing received opinion about him on its head. The older view has it that at the Restoration Stubbe renounced his radical past and became the enemy of scientific progress and a reactionary defender of church and monarchy. Professor Jacob shows instead that Stubbe continued to espouse radical views after 1660 by devious means. Publicly he resorted to a rhetoric of subterfuge while he let the full extent of his radicalism be known in private conversations at Bath and in an important clandestine manuscript which Jacob proves to be his that circulated among radicals from the early 1670s well into the eighteenth century". – publisher. James R. Jacob now retired was Professor of History at John Jay College of Criminal Justice CUNY.
