Mishneh Torah hu ha-Yad ha-Hazakah COMPLETE FOUR-VOLUME SET OF MAIMONIDES' MISHNEH TORAH

1739ref. 27896Jessnitz Saxony-Anhalt: Bi-defus Yisrael bar Avraham 1739. Hardcover. Good. Four volumes folio published between 1739 and 1742. Woodcut printer's device at titles; woodcut endpieces in first volume. Hebrew text opens from right to left; leaf numbers in Hebrew characters. Hebrew chronograms yield Jewish dates of publication 5499-5502. Brown library buckram scuffed at extremities spines lettered in gilt. Endleaves renewed. A good set. See foliation and condition notes for each volume below. Scarce eighteenth-century edition of this seminal compendium of Jewish law halakhah. Compiled between 1170 and 1180 while Maimonides was living in Egypt the Mishneh Torah is regarded as the author's magnum opus. It is the only Medieval-era work that surveys the full panoply of Jewish observance including those laws that are only applicable when the Jerusalem Temple is in existence. The present edition is the first to contain Judah Rosanes' commentary Mishneh le-melekh. "Mishneh Torah" The Repetition of the Law is an appellation originally applied to the biblical book of Deuteronomy; the subtitle "ha-Yad ha-Hazakah" The Book of the Strong Hand plays on its subdivision into fourteen books: the numerical value fourteen is represented in Hebrew letters as Yud 10 Dalet 4 which forms the word "yad" hand. Maimonides sought to provide a complete statement of the Oral Law so that a person who mastered first the Written Torah and then the Mishneh Torah would be in no need of any other book. Contemporary reaction was mixed with strong and immediate opposition focusing on the absence of sources and the belief that the work appeared to be intended to supersede study of the Talmud itself. Maimonides responded to these criticisms and the Mishneh Torah endures as an influential work in Jewish religious thought. According to several authorities a decision may not be rendered in opposition to a view of Maimonides even where he apparently militated against the sense of a Talmudic passage for in such cases the presumption was that the words of the Talmud were incorrectly interpreted. Likewise: One must follow Maimonides even when the latter opposed his teachers since he surely knew their views and if he decided against them he must have disapproved their interpretation. Vol. 1: 1 title 8 234 102 3 ff. Repairs at title page with very slight loss of text at verso following leaf and the final leaf. Text embrowned often heavily in first half with some light marginal dampstains throughout. Old manuscript entries in Hebrew at title in at least three hands. Vol. 2: 1 title 148 112 2 ff. Marginal repairs to first and last two leaves no loss of text. Moderately dampstained throughout with some mild embrowning. Old manuscript entries in Hebrew at title in at least two hands; three old stamps at title including at least one censor's approbation. Vol. 3: 1 title 221 169 ff. Repairs at bottom margin to title with loss of some text below imprint and at final lines of rabbinic approbations at verso and at bottom margin following leaf with some text loss and obscuration by translucent paper tape. Small marginal repair at final leaf. Light dampstaining in first half; remaining text with mild embrowning. Old manuscript entries in Hebrew at title in at least two hands; two old stamps at title including at least one censor's approbation. Vol. 4: 1 title 135 138-154 157 1 ff.

A highly controversial figure both during his lifetime and after his death he is generally acknowledged as the preeminent Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages. He was born in Córdoba Spain but fled as a child from the Almohad persecution. He eventually settled in Egypt where he served as a rabbi physician and philosopher. His fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah his only work not in Arabic still carries canonical authority particularly within the Yemenite Jewish community as the codification of Talmudic law. His other works include "Kitab al-Siraj" a commentary on the Mishnah "Kitab al-Fara'I" a book on precepts and the celebrated philosophical work "Dalalat al-Ha'irin" known in Hebrew as the "Moreh Nevukhim" The Guide to the Perplexed. In this latter work Maimonides attempted a philosophical/theological reconciliation of the Hebrew Bible and Greek knowledge. This work came to play a central role in all subsequent major controversies over philosophy within the Jewish community during the Middle Ages. Bi-defus Yisrael bar Avraham hardcover books

Archive of manuscript surveys and indentures relative to land transactions in Jefferson and Berkeley Counties Virginia 1786 to 1842.

1786ref. 969Berkeley & Jefferson Counties Virginia now West Virginia: not published 1786 - 1842. Group of ten folio manuscript documents and one partially printed document completed in manuscript involving the real estate transactions of Charles & John Yates in the upper Shenandoah Valley. Approximately 29 pp. in total all docketed. Each exhibits expected wear including original folds with associated splits and separations one document with a small area of archival tissue repair creasing tears small losses occasionally briefly affecting text soiling toning and foxing. Charles Yates 1728 - 1809 emigrated from England in 1748 first to New York and then in 1752 to Fredericksburg Virginia. A prosperous merchant and importer he was also deeply involved in real estate speculation in Berkeley and Jefferson Counties now West Virginia. Advancing in years unmarried and childless he solicited his brother John Orfeur Yates of Liverpool to send one of his sons as heir apparent. Young John Yates 1779 - 1851 then 13 years old arrived in 1792. Educated at the College of New Jersey and William and Mary John with wife Julia took up residence about 1807 at Walnut Grove his uncle's hunting lodge on some 912 acres near Charlestown in Berkeley County. Yates remained in the vicinity until his death. Quoting from Memorials of a Family in England and Virginia AE Terrill 1887 page 337 "As a citizen in his adopted country Mr Yates was active and liberal using his means and his influence in the encouragement of public improvements; more especially the making a better roads the starting of manufactories and establishing the system of free schools." Most if not all of the documents revolve around 2071 acres of land originally granted in 1751 by Thomas Lord Fairfax to Thomas Rutherford. Encompassing what became known as the Flowing Springs tract the collection sheds light on a complicated history beginning with the acquisition in 1786 of 755 acres by Charles Yates via William Orr a proxy from Robert Rutherford who apparently defaulted on a loan. Particularly interesting is a survey with large plat map accomplished in December 1812 involving a division of the lands of John Peyton 1729 - 1804 Peyton a son in law of Robert Rutherford apparently acquired the land in 1795. Additionally the documents contain the signatures of several significant participants in the French and Indian War the American Revolution or the War of 1812 including Thomas Rutherford Philip Pendleton Moses Hunter James Singleton Henry St George Tucker and George Hite.

Success Script for an African American Soap Opera

ref. 8128N.P.: N.P. 1982. Very good. 11” x 8Â½”. Thin card wrappers/loose leaves three-hold and punched printed rectos only. pp. 61. Very good: front wrap with staining from paperclip otherwise bright and clean throughout. This is a screenplay for an African American soap opera which never aired Success. The title page mentions that “this story is created by the author from a true life experience with some fictional creativity.” The author's name is too common to successfully research and we'll note that IMDB has a listing for a Tom Moses who was a Black actor who appeared on McCloud and Columbo in the early 1970s. This script predates television's first Black soap opera Generations which premiered March 27 1989 and ran through January 1991. The plot of this pilot begins with flashbacks initially in Washington D.C. where we meet Angela Saunders a ten year old girl who overheard her parents arguing and learned that her father was not her biological father. The next scene took place in 1974 and Angela asked her mother about her birth father wanting to know who he was and it was revealed that he was “in Hollywood” and that his name was Tom Phillips. The action then cuts to 1983 with Tom reading a letter from Angela asking if he was her real father and we learn that Tom was an actor and also ran a performing arts school. Later Angela goes to California to meet Tom and stay with his family; on arrival she asks if her mother could visit as well. Tom's wife agrees setting up one of the story's major conflicts. Interspersed throughout is standard soap opera fare including sexual trysts a philandering producer familial misunderstandings searing hatreds blackmail and other juicy bits. OCLC locates no copies.

It comprises a commentary on and explanation of difficult terms in Maimonides' Moreh Nevukhim Guide for the Perplexed with an elucidation of terminology in the translations of Arabic to Hebrew as well as the jargon of medieval philosophical literature in general.

Jacob ben Abba Mari ben Samson Anatoli 13th century also a translator of note. Ibn Tibbon known as the 'father of translators' was born in Granada Spain but relocated to Lunel in Provence France to escape the persecution of the Jews in the former location. He supported himself as a physician coming into contact with many sages one of whom R. Meshullam ben Jacob requested that ibn tibbon translate R. Bahya ibn Paquda's Hovot ha-Levavot into Hebrew. In addition to translating that work from Arabic ibn Tibbon also translated several other books into Hebrew among them R. Judah Halevi's Kuzari R. Saadiah Gaon's Emunot ve-De'ot and R. Solomon ibn Gabirol's Middot ha-Nefesh and Mivhar Peninim" Heller. While this is the fourth known printing of the work it is the first to include vowel points and the translation of the formerly Jewish convert to Christianity Johann Isaac Levita 1515-1577 a descendant of Elias Levita the most famous in his time of those Jews who sought scholarly contact with Christians and taught Christians Hebrew. As an added bonus the present edition includes Maimonides' De astrologia epistola elegans.

The Manner of Raising Ordering and improving and Forest and Fruit-Trees: Also How to Plant Make and Keep Woods Walks Avenues Lawns Hedges &c

1679ref. 42560London: Peter Parker 1679. 4to. 7 1/2 x 6 inches. Reissue of the 1676 first edition with cancel title. xvi 204 4 pp. Illustrated with 4 engraved plates. Bound with: Gabriel PLATTES c.1600-1644. A Discovery of Subterranean Treasure: viz. Of all manner of Mines and Minerals at end. London: Peter Parker 1679. iv 24 pp. Period quarter calf and marbled paper boards An important early English treatise on forestry and designed woodland here in the 1679 issue with the rare addition of Plattes's tract on mines and minerals. Cook was gardener to the Earl of Essex at Cassiobury Park near Watford and laid out many woodland walks and avenues including reputedly an avenue of 296 lime trees. Cook wrote from practical experience as gardener to Arthur Capell first Earl of Essex at Cassiobury Park near Watford one of the notable Restoration landscapes outside London. His treatise treats trees both as productive estate assets and as elements of design giving directions for raising transplanting pruning grafting and ordering forest and fruit trees as well as for planting. The engraved plates and accompanying rules for measuring land and timber show the book's practical range joining arboriculture surveying estate management and landscape design. The work reflects a moment when English country-house landscapes were increasingly shaped through ordered planting axial walks avenues and managed woodland. Cook's association with Cassiobury gives the book particular interest: he is traditionally credited with laying out woodland walks and avenues there including a celebrated avenue of lime trees. His manual preserves the working knowledge behind such improvements before the broader eighteenth-century shift toward more naturalistic landscape gardening. The appended Plattes tract broadens the volume from woodland and estate improvement to the useful exploitation of natural resources. A Discovery of Subterranean Treasure gives practical directions for locating mines and minerals and for melting refining and assaying ores from gold to coal. Plattes an experimental writer on agriculture and practical science wrote for readers interested in applicable knowledge rather than scholastic theory. Bound with Cook's forestry manual the two works form a compact volume on improvement above and below ground: the ordering of trees woods and avenues followed by the discovery and testing of mineral wealth.

[Civil War - Prisoners of War] [General McCook's Murder] Moses Strong RoyceABAA

Manuscript Petition in Regard to Capt. F.B. Gurley - 4th Ala. Cav

1864ref. 49788N.p. 1864. Very Good. N.p.: 1864. Manuscript letter written in ink signed by Royce at the end and on the verso. Single leaf 26.5x21cm; chips and rubbing; a few closed tears with archival tape repairs; Very Good. An unusual insightful document highlighting the laws of war and murder during the Civil War. Royce's petition seeks justice for Confederate Captain Frank R. Gurley sent to the Confederate Commission of Exchange. Its author Confederate Captain Moses Strong Royce was captured in Tennessee and imprisoned at Nashville. Gurley Royce's cell-mate had killed Union General Robert McCook of Ohio near Huntsville Alabama in August 1862. In October 1863 Union forces captured Gurley and charged him with murdering McCook. Gurley Union officials claimed was a guerrilla who shot McCook while the General was lying in an ambulance. Southerners claimed that Gurley was not a guerrilla but a regular soldier in the Confederacy's 4th Alabama Cavalry and that he killed McCook according to the laws of war. Harper's Weekly and Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper fanned the flames claiming that lawless Confederate guerrillas murdered the general; feelings ran high. "US General Grant wrote CS General Hardee in December of 1863 and said that although Gurley was a member of the Confederate army that did not preclude him from being tried for having committed a foul murder" online Huntsville-Madison County Public Library essay 'Frank B. Gurley's 1866 Diary'. Having escaped from prison in March 1864 Royce plead Gurley's case. "He was confined in a cell for sixty-eight days and allowed only about one hour a day for exercise and was put upon trial for the killing of Genl. McCook. He was obliged to employ counsel to defend himself at an expense of 2500 dollars in greenbacks. The evidence produced completely exonerated him of anything like murder and the argument of his counsel was a complete vindication of his right as a soldier and an officer to do all that he did in bringing Genl. McCook to his death. "When the trial was nearly ended four communications by flag of truce were sent to the court and were there read - one from Lt. Col. Hambrick one from Genl. Forrest one from Genl. Hardee and one from Genl. Johnston" assuring that Gurley was not a guerrilla but a duly enrolled member of the Confederate military forces. Nevertheless Gurley was found guilty and sentenced to death. "The undersigned believes that if an effort were to be made by the Confederate Commission of Exchange to have Capt. Gurley exchanged the Federal authorities would immediately send him forward for that purpose and as a friend of Capt. Gurley the undersigned respectfully requests General Johnston to use his influence in procuring the exchange of Capt. Gurley. Respectfully submitted M. S. Royce." Even after War's end the dispute continued. Gurley having been released from prison in an administrative snafu was re-arrested charged but finally released and placed on parole in April 1866. . unknown books

KIMBALL, MosesABAA

Holograph Travel Letter Narrative and other Writings 1834-35

1834ref. 436962Connecticut New York Ohio 1834. Very Good. A small archive consisting of one two-page narrative letter and 10 loose sheets about 20 holograph pages of miscellaneous writings by Moses Kimball including one page with pen and ink illustrations. Modest toning and a few tiny tears three manuscript sheets are partially split at the folds including one with a neat Japanese paper tape repair about very good overall. Born in Connecticut in 1741 Moses Kimball served in the Revolutionary War as a soldier under Brigadier General Samuel McClellan 1781-82. A devout Universalist he taught navigation and civil engineering and was a prosperous land owner in Norwich Connecticut. The letter and miscellaneous writings of poetry and short sermons retained here date from the last two years of his life when he left Connecticut to live with a grandson in Norwalk Ohio. In the letter written to a friend in Connecticut Kimball describes in detail his 15-day journey undertaken in May 1835 from Poquetanuck to Norwalk: He left via sloop for Albany then traveled along the Erie Canal and completed the last leg of the trip by steamer on Lake Erie. In his verse and short sermons he lays out his strong Universalist beliefs and philosophy of life. He died happy at the age of 93 in December 1835 just a few weeks after his arrival in Norwalk. A few extracts from the letter together with a sample of his verse follows: 1. ALS. 2pp. Small quarto. Norwalk October 14th 1835. Addressed to John Harkness at Preston Connecticut: "My good friend having an opportunity to give you some account of my journey to this place I gladly embrace it. It is a beautiful country suitable for farming a rich soil . We have an academy of learning for young gentlemen with 108 scholars and another for young ladies with 98 female scholars . We left Poquetanuck the 11 day of May & arrived at my Grandson Moses Kimball's the 25 of May. We went in a sloop . to Albany there I saw great improvements . They have made an Island in the river half a mile long . forming a basin between that & the main land with draw bridges at each end. There we left the sloop and entered on board a canal boat and past on our way drawn by horses day and night. Thus we past on up to Little Falls . and so on to Fort Stanwix . there at the height of land we left the Mohawk River and past a flat level country for 60 or 70 miles without a lock. The country all low and intersected with drowned land . and all along this wet country where the land rose a little . there would be some inhabitants settled with a bridge or two over the canal . when we got to Lake Erie at Buffalo we left the canal boat and got into a steam boat the largest vessel that I ever saw . this boat that cost thirty-five thousand dollars my grandson Moses owns one-tenth part . When we came over the lake . there were seven hundred passengers in her . So you see it is no wonder she earns money . ." 2. Miscellaneous Verses and Short Sermons 1834-35: 10 octavo sheets/about 20 holograph pages including one page with pen and ink illustrations. The following is quoted from a poem written by Kimball on his ninety-third birthday "May 17 A.D. 1834": This day my years are Ninety-three The time is past & gone from me Brought into being here to stay To wait for time to pass away . And when my earthly body dies To God my spirit will arise And live with him and there remain Till Souls to bodies join again . A compelling and historically important small archive of writings that also serve as a testament to Kimball's remarkable physical health and mental acuity. unknown books

1824ref. 55402London: Henry Moses 1824. First edition. Hardcover. Very good to fine condition. Oblong Octavo. 20 etchings plus original illustrated wrappers. Bound in Royal blue leather retaining original wraps; gilt lettering and ruling on leather label mounted to spine. Cream endpapers.

Our collection of "Sketches of Shipping" on the River Thames appears to be the earliest state published by Henry Moses with front wrappers dated Dec. 1 1824 and all twenty etchings dated in plates Oct. 1 1824. An 1826 advertisement in the Quarterly Review indicated that six parts of the Sketches with five engravings each had been published up to that time and announces the publication of two additional issues. The front wrapper stating publication date as Dec. 1 1824 as in our copy appears to have been used in various editions including some containing eleven plates dated March 1 1825 in plates or lettered in ink "Nos. 5 & 6" corresponding to the 1826 Quarterly Review advertisement. The irregularities and/or contradictions in tracing the publication of these Moses etchings suggest that due to the constrictions of the medium these popular etchings were published in limited numbers in variant editions as identified by the dates in these plates to satisfy the public demand of the time. In our copy all 20 etchings are dated in plates Oct. 1 1824 with two of the plates containing additional dates etched into the plates as indicated below: 1. Sailing Match Aug. 16 1824 2.

[Abolition - Underground Railroad - Pennsylvania - Kennett Square] Rehn, Isaac; Pennock, Mary and MosesABAA

Pair of Ambrotypes of Mary and Moses Pennock Members of the Kennett Square Underground Railroad Network by Isaac Rehn c. 1854

1854ref. List1708Philadelphia 1854. Ninth plate ambrotypes in a union case measuring 2 ½ x 2 ⅛ inches visible in larger case. With the identification of Isaac Rehn with his imprint and "Patented July 4 & 11 1854" imprinted on the case. A fine pair. A striking pair of ambrotypes of Mary and Moses Pennock who were members of the Kennett Square Underground Railroad network as well as active members of the Kennett Square abolitionist and Quaker community. Moses was one of the founders of the Longwood Progressive Meeting. In R.C. Smedley's History of the Underground Railroad in Chester and Neighboring Counties of Pennsylvania Lancaster Office of the Journal 1883 the Pennocks are mentioned on p. 301 as working as part of the network surrounding Isaac and Thamazine Meredity. Their son Samuel who would go on to secure important agricultural patents is also mentioned twice. The images are notable from a photographic history perspective as well as being early examples of the ambrotype process that had been patented in part by fellow Quaker and spiritualist Isaac Rehn. Rehn held a partial patent on ambrotypes along with James Ambrose Cutting of Boston and became unpopular among other photographers for his efforts to extend his patent. He later practiced spiritual photography and was a Professor of Chemistry at Pennsylvania Medical University in Philadelphia. Rehn was also involved in radical politics as a founder and leader of the Philadelphia section of the International Workingmen's Association which was later disenfranchised by Karl Marx along with several other American sections. Examples of Rehn's work are held at the National Gallery of Art the Library Company of Philadelphia and Yale's Sterling Memorial Library. Overall a very fine and significant pair of images. unknown books

Stiff tan paper wrappers with beautiful chromolithographic illustrations in hues of green blue black and brown. Issued by the pioneering Hebrew-language published house Omanut. This lavishly illustrated work is a version of the Aesop's fable often known as "The Miller His Son and the Donkey" in a version said to have been adapted by Leo Tolstoy with Hebrew translation attributed to the acclaimed Hebrew-language writer and essayist Ahad Ha-Am Asher Zvi Ginsberg 1856-1957 although the work is completely uncredited. Here the work's title has been humorously translated into Hebrew as "To Please Everyone". The text is accompanied throughout by 8 large and vibrant chromolithographic images including the front and back wrappers. The illustrations are credited collectively to "Havurat Tsayarim" The Group of Painters a group of four young artists from the Odessa Art Academy who illustrated works for Omanut during the period comprised of Yakov Apter 1899-1941 Moses Mutselmakher 1900-1961 Aaron Keravatsov 1896-1942 and Efim Khiger 1899-1955. This work is part of the Gamliel Library series of beautiful picture books for children introduced by Omanut co-founder Shoshana Zlatopolsky Persitz and named after her son Gamliel. Persitz took inspiration from the rich tradition of Russian children's literature lavishly illustrated in chromolithographs produced by the likes of Ivan Bilibin and the publishing house of Iosif Knebel to create some of the earliest examples of comparable works in Hebrew. No publication date is given but the fact that this is one of a smaller number of earlier titles issued before the move of the publisher Omanut to Frankfurt points to the fact it could not have been published after 1921. Text throughout in Hebrew. Wrappers with some foxing and staining. Some rubbing and creasing to extremities. Back cover lightly soiled with a light vertical crease in the center.

PENDLETON'S LITHOGRAPHY after Moses SWETT (1804-1838)ABAA

Steam Packet Chancellor Livingston. Entering the Harbour of Newport

1828ref. 42606Boston: Pendleton's Lithography 1828. Uncoloured lithograph. Framed size: 19 1/4 x 15 5/8 inches. An early American marine lithograph depicting the steam packet Chancellor Livingston entering Newport Harbor issued at the outset of steam navigation on the New England coast. Published in Boston by Pendleton's Lithography after a design by Moses Swett this print presents the Chancellor Livingston under way as it enters Newport Harbor with passengers visible along the decks and flags flying from the rigging. The composition combines a detailed vessel portrait with a wider harbour view situating the steamer within a recognizable coastal setting and emphasizing both its scale and activity. The vessel itself held a prominent place in early American steam navigation. Originally associated with Robert Fulton's Hudson River operations the Chancellor Livingston was rebuilt in 1827 for service between New York and Providence. The lithograph records this later phase of its career when coastal steam travel was expanding rapidly and such vessels were becoming a familiar presence along the northeastern seaboard. The printed text beneath the image reinforces the promotional aspect of the print listing the vessel's dimensions horsepower boilers and fittings as well as its passenger capacity and accommodations. This combination of technical specification and visual representation places the image at the intersection of ship portraiture and commercial advertisement reflecting the contemporary interest in steam technology and its practical advantages. As a product of Pendleton's Lithography the print also belongs to the earliest phase of lithographic production in the United States. Established in Boston in the 1820s the firm was among the first to adopt the medium on a sustained basis and works such as this illustrate both the technical possibilities of lithography and its application to subjects of current interest. The present impression reflects that early moment when lithography was emerging as a flexible and effective means of producing images of modern life and technology.
