Maimonides' intention with this work was to reconcile Aristotelian thought and logic with traditional Rabbinical Jewish theology. Originally written circa 1190 in Judeo-Arabic as Dalalat al-Ha'irin these writings takes the form of a lengthy three-part letter to his student Rabbi Joseph ben Judah of Ceuta and are seen as the main source for understanding Maimonides' philosophic view rather than his strictly being his views on Jewish law. It is the most known of his works in the non-Jewish world. The work's first translation into Hebrew was in 1204 by Rabbi Samuel ben Judah ibn Tibbon c.1150 - c.1230 a contemporary of Maimonides.

Divided into 48 chapters the second part involves Maimonides discussion of proof of the existence of God the nature of creation the concept of prophecy and an examination of the 26 propositions for Aristotle's metaphysics. The initial pages contain introduction and foreword by Stern.

1946réf. 50723Munich cancel imprint in English: Rabbinical Representative by Central Commitee sic of Liberated Jews in the American Occupied Zone 1946. First edition thus. Hardcover. Good. Elephant folio 15-3/4" x 11". 2 192 32 28pp. Rebound in modern tan soft leather with blind-stamped star of David on the front cover. Gilt and blind-stamped tooling and gilt lettering on the spine. Raised bands. Decorative endpapers. Pictorial title page printed in black & red against a yellow the color Jews were forced to wear background. It depicts both the suffering and the hope for redemption of the Jewish people. The bottom shows life in the concentration camp and the top shows the yearning for a new Jerusalem. The images are attributed to the artist Grisha Rosenkranz who was active in the DP camps. Text in Hebrew states: "As afflicted prisoners there we sat learned and prayed in secret." This volume of "Keddushin" the first of the two printed was the precursor to the famous full 19-volume set known as the "Survivors' Talmud" or the "US Army Talmud" so-called because it was the first complete Talmud printed in Europe after the Holocaust. At the end of the war Jewish survivors and residents of the DP camps had few or no books. The efforts to provide resources to Jews without access to Talmud study in the direct aftermath of the war fell primarily upon the shoulders of two Lithuanian Rabbis Samuel Abba Snieg chief rabbi of the US occupied zone and Samuel Jacob Rose both survivors of Dachau. It was accomplished utilizing two odd volumes of the 1886 Romm edition of the Talmud printed in Vilna tractates Keddushin and Nedarim found at the monastery in St. Ottilien. Printing plates for these volumes were created using a photomechanical offset process. It should be noted that when the full set of the Talmud was eventually published it was derived from the later Vilna editions which contain additional rabbinic commentary not found in the earlier editions. The rabbis' intent from the very beginning was to print a complete set of the Talmud however these two tractates were the only ones found in good enough to reproduce. Later with the assistance of Rabbis Philip S. Bernstein and Abraham Klausner they were able to print a complete set in Heidelberg in 1948 The Survivors' Talmud. There is some dampstain rippling to the lower fifth of the text with an attendant tidemark that is mostly in the blank bottom margin but occasionally extends into the text readability is not affected. Scarce. Alternate title: Survivors' Talmud Grisha Rosenkranz aka Gregory Rosenkranz was a Lithuanian-born Jewish artist and Hebrew teacher. In addition to his work on the illustrations for these volumes of the Talmud he was an active artist in the DP camps after the war and was known to have designed a theater sets for a play produced in the camps. Later he emigrated to the United States eventually settling in Miami where he taught Hebrew Jewish studies and art. He also created art for the PBS TV program 'Living Hebrew'. With thanks to Jackie Ben Efraim for her research on these Talmuds. See her illustrated presentation 'Survivors' Talmud' on YouTube.

Jacob Le Duchat 1658-1735 was a French literary scholar whose 1711 edition of the works of Rabelais was the first to include historical and critical commentary. "Le Duchat's is the first of the critical editions. It takes account of differences in the texts and begins to point out the variations. His very numerous notes are remarkable and are still worthy of most serious consideration. He was the first to offer useful elucidations and these have been repeated after him and with good reason will continue to be so. Le Duchat's commentary was translated into English by John Ozell for his 1737 edition of Gargantua and Pantagruel."

B/w photographic frontispiece portrait of Jacob Mann in each volume. This first edition of "The Collected Articles" sheds a valuable light on the writings of Jacob Mann 1888-1940 an accomplished and distinguished scholar of the Genizah period and of the Jews under the Fatimids and particularly of the Genizah fragments. Mann for the first time undertook to collect and explain all the documents from the period preceding the Crusades to the fall of the Fatimids. By establishing the dates of a great number of the largely undated Genizah documents Mann provided the chronological framework for the history of the Jews in the Near East. He revealed the great role played by the Jerusalem gaonate in the period before the Crusades and shed new light on the various forces within the Jewish communities then living in the lands ruled by the Fatimids. Although Mann neglected the Arabic documents abstained avowedly from drawing general conclusions and was mainly interested in the communal history of the Jews his work is of lasting value as a great collection of hitherto unknown sources which he ably deciphered and annotated.
