1701réf. 33078Fulda 1701. Hardcover. fair. 4to. 185 leaves. Black cloth. Red edges. Illustrated title-page with Moses and Aaron on the sides and David killing Goliath at the bottom. Commentary on selections of the Zohar and other kabbalistic texts by Mordacai Ashkenazi published with the aid of his teacher Abraham Rovigo. These two kabbalists were both secret followers of the messianic claimant Sabbatai Sevi. Despite Sabbatai's conversion to Islam in 1666 and death in 1676 many of his followers continued to believe in him and worked to spread their particular heterodox brand of Judaism in defiance of the rabbinic establishment. As cover for his Sabbatian agenda Ashkenazi claimed that “Eshel Avraham” was simply a new interpretation of the Kabbalah based on his prophetic dreams. Ultimately this book is an important example of the success of the early eighteenth century Sabbatian underground to print books under the nose of the rabbinic authorities before it came out into the open with the printing of Nehemiah Hayon's “Migdal Oz.” Text in Hebrew. Backstrip missing but the book is still intact. Bottom corner chipped. Title-page torn and bottom strengthened. Slight worming to front leaves. Overall in fair condition. Steinschneider 4299:1.

First published at Rotterdam by Jan van Waesberghe in 1608 the present work is the earliest reaction in print to the presence of Jews and their religion in the Dutch Republic van Rooden. Citing M. Bodian's Hebrews of the Portuguese Nation R. Po-Chia Hsia describes the cultural context: "Coming initially in the 1590s as Portuguese merchants and Christian converts the so-called 'New Christians' Sephardic Jews in fact were welcomed by the Regents of Holland but were strongly opposed by the Reformed clergy. When the conversos reverted to the open practice of Judaism reaction from the Reformed Church was fierce. The predikant Abraham Coster 1575-1620 attacked the Sephardim as an 'unclean people' who sought to build a public synagogue 'in which they can perform their evil and foolish ceremonies and spew forth their gross blasphemies against Christ and his holy gospels as well as their curses against the Christians and Christian authorities'".

1624réf. 25470Antwerpen 1624. Other. In excellent condition. 755 by 520mm 29 by 20 inches. Original copper engraving published 1624 in a Latin text edition of the famous historical atlas" Parergon by Abraham Ortelius. Printed from two plates. Latin text edition. Uncolored example in two sheets as published. Highly decorative engraving published from two double pages showing the dignitaries of the Holy Roman Empire. This engraving was published from 1593 for the first time in the atlas by Gerard de Jode. The plate was later acquired by Vrients and was then from 1603 onwards included in Ortelius' s "Theatrum" and the "Parergon". Our example was published 1624 in a Latin text edition of the Parergon."They represent the dignitaries entitled to choose German Emperors as instituted to end the turmoil and quarreling that occurred after the death of Charles the Great by Otto IV and the Pope. This plate shows left of the Emperor the highest ranking officials three ecclesiastical and four lay dignitaries. The second rank consists of four dukes and four marquesses the third of 8 earls." Broe. 201 Ortelius was born on 14 April 1527 in the city of Antwerp which was then in the Habsburg Netherlands modern-day Belgium. The Orthellius family were originally from Augsburg a Free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1535 the family had fallen under suspicion of Protestantism. Following the death of Ortelius's father his uncle Jacobus van Meteren returned from religious exile in England to take care of Ortelius. Abraham remained close to his cousin Emanuel van Meteren who would later moved to London. In 1575 he was appointed geographer to the king of Spain Philip II on the recommendation of Arias Montanus who vouched for his orthodoxy. He travelled extensively in Europe and is specifically known to have traveled throughout the Seventeen Provinces; in southern western northern and eastern Germany e.g. 1560 15751576; France 15591560; England and Ireland 1576; and Italy 1578 and perhaps twice or thrice between 1550 and 1558. Beginning as a map-engraver in 1547 he entered the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke as an illuminator of maps. He supplemented his income trading in books prints and maps and his journeys included yearly visits to the Frankfurt book and print fair where he met Gerardus Mercator in 1554. In 1560 however when travelling with Mercator to Trier Lorraine and Poitiers he seems to have been attracted largely by Mercator's influence towards the career of a scientific geographer.
