Contemporary vellum neatly rebacked. Old library stamp at bottom margin title front blank endleaf detached occasional oxidation spot and mild toning else a very good copy crisp and amply margined. First Hebrew-Latin edition of the first modern Hebrew work on geography the author's most famous and important book. Abraham Farissol or Peritsol was a learned Jew from Avignon who compiled his cosmographical works at the court of the Estes in Ferrara. The present text was composed in 1524-25 and first published in Hebrew at Venice in 1586. The Latin translation and notes in the present edition were prepared by the English orientalist and librarian Thomas Hyde 1636-1703 with the assistance of R. Isaac Abendana working from a manuscript which Hyde located in the Bodleian Library. "Each of its 30 chapters deals with a certain geographical area or subject. In addition many cosmological and historical matters are also treated. The author collected all the evidence he could regarding Jewish settlements in each country. The inclusion of a description of the New World makes Farissol the first Hebrew writer to deal in detail with the newly-discovered America. The 14th chapter of Iggeret Orhot Olam which deals mainly with the settlements of the Ten Lost Tribes is of special interest. According to Farissol's introduction to this chapter it is clear that what moved him to undertake this investigation was the appearance in Italy in 1523 of David Reuveni many of whose descriptions are included in this work" EJ 6.1185. Reuveni was "an adventurer who aroused messianic hopes in the early 16th century" EJ 14.114. The appended work is a tract on Islamic customs by Albert Wojciech Bobowski a Polish Christian who converted to Islam after his capture by the Ottoman Turks. Adopting the name Ali Ufki Bey he served as translator court musician at Topkapi and as a notator of Ottoman classical music. Bell F26. Christian Hebraism Cat. Harvard 1988 no. 39. ESTC R27480.

1861réf. 126721861. Mills Clark. Abraham Lincoln life mask originally taken in February 1865 two months before the president's death. Mills' was the second and last life mask taken of Lincoln preserving his features directly from life rather than through later artistic interpretation. The cast is often compared to Leonard Volk's cast taken in 1860 shortly after Lincoln secured the Republican nomination and is a remarkable record of the toll the presidency and Civil War took on Lincoln physically. John Hay secretary to the president once noted that Volk cast shows "a man of fifty-one and young for his years. . . . full of life of energy of vivid aspiration. . . . .Mills' cast is so sad and peaceful in its infinite repose . . . . a look as of one on whom sorrow and care had done their worst without victory is on all the features." The Mills cast captured Lincoln's entire skull unlike the Volk which shows only the face. After Clark Mills. Abraham Lincoln life mask cast from the original 1865 mold. Plaster mask showing Lincoln's face from the forehead to below the chin with closed eyes lean cheeks pronounced cheekbones deep-set eyes narrow mouth and beard visible along the jawline. The casting emphasizes the elongated structure of Lincoln's face and preserves the asymmetry and modeling that gave later sculptors a direct reference for portrait accuracy. Mills was a New York born sculpter who developed his own method of creating plaster masks for portrait busts in the 1840s. His works include the equestrian statues of Andrew Jackson and George Washington which now reside in Washington D.C.'s Lafayette Square and Washington Circle respectively as well as the Statue of Freedom which sits atop the United States Capitol dome and over 100 portrait busts of Native American prisoners and Black students at the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School now Hampton University. This original 1865 life mask became an essential source for later Lincoln portraits and sculptures especially after 1865 when artists and monument makers sought models for Lincoln memorials. The pieces has a unique documentary value distinct from painted or engraved likenesses often filtered through personal interpretation. Minor surface wear consistent with age; overall very good condition. Life masks are created in negative molds casts therein are created in relief "after" the original. It is unclear at when this particular cast was taken. unknown books
