ref. 24753Rare French edition of the celebrated letters of Jewish Enlightenment philosopher Moses Mendelssohn documenting the religious controversies surrounding Judaism and Christianity in the Age of Enlightenment. An important work on Jewish emancipation and religious tolerance illustrated with an engraved frontispiece depicting scenes of Jewish life.Modern old style binding half calf leather. Else a good copy with an ownership mark on the titlepage Joseph Basler or Basbe. With an engraved frontispiece showing three scenes from jewish life and a small engraving on the titlepage by I.M. Eben. A-Z 8 pag.: 368. The filosopher Moses Mendelssohn 1729-1786 was the spiritual leader of the German Jewry during the Enlightenment. He wrote many philosophical treatises and is considered the father of the Jewish Enlightenment. Thus he became the symbol of progressive Judaism to the Christian world. At the height of his career in 1769 Mendelssohn was publicly challenged by a Christian apologist a Zurich pastor named John Lavater to defend the superiority of Judaism over Christianity. The letters forming his reply - published in German in 1770 and translated for the present rare French edition - neither attacked Christianity nor defended Judaism; they maintained instead that such polemics were inconsistent with Judaism and unbecoming of Jews. The controversy which disturbed Mendelssohn greatly forced him to recognize that his Judaism created a barrier between himself and his enlightened colleagues. Mendelssohn wanted to take the Jews out of a ghetto lifestyle and into secular society. He tried to improve the relationship between Jews and Christians as he argued for tolerance and humanity.

1824ref. 4504491London 1 Portland Place Wandsworth Road: by Henry Moses 1824. Slight staining and creasing some wear at edges spine neatly strengthened. 11 etched plates 193 x 282 mm; original illustrated brown paper wrappers. A scarce series of privately-published etchings of shipping in the London Dockyards. This section of Henry Moses' publication comprises his complete series on London's Docklands. An advertisement in the Quarterly Review 1826 shows that he had then published altogether six parts of his Sketches of Shippng by that date with a further two announced.

The first ten etchings depicted shipping on the Thames the second ten showed Sheerness and the Medway while the final ten depicted life on London's docks.

There are five with the shared title "London Docks" as against four called for in the advertisement while the eleventh plate differing in style to the others probably comes from an earlier part. 1. Vessels off the Tower Two-masted ship with numerous sightseers in rowed boats in the foreground 2. Limehouse Sailing ship being unloaded by crane at pier. A sailing barge is on the river. In the foreground a rowing boat and anchor are visible on the shore. 3. Blackwall Reach with the Columbus in the Distance A cutter in Blackwall Reach with another beyond on the right.

Henry Moses c.1782-1870 was prolific and "worked throughout the first half of the present century enjoying a great reputation for his outline plates which are distinguished for the purity and correctness of the drawing.
