Per il resto nel complesso in buone condizioni di conservazione. Testo i latino ed ebraico. Prima edizione di questa celebre opera dedicata alla storia della distruzione del tempio di Gerusalemme narrata sull'Arco di Tito a Roma, scritto del famoso orientalista, cartografo e filologo olandese, Adriaan Reland (noto anche come Adriaen Reeland / Reelant, Hadrianus Relandus) (17 luglio 1676, De Rijp, Olanda Settentrionale - 5 febbraio 1718, Utrecht) al quale viene riconosciuto di aver dato uno dei primi e più importanti contributi alla geografia storica della Palestina antica. Studente precoce già a 11 anni iniziò lo studio del latino. Nel 1693 si iscrisse all'Università di Utrecht studiando teologia e filosofia. Inizialmente interessato al siriaco e all'ebraico, approfondì in seguito, anche lo studio della lingua araba. Nel 1699 ottenne il dottorato e nello stesso anno ottenne la cattedra di fisica e metafisica all'Università di Harderwijk. A quest'epoca era in grado di esprimersi fluidamente in arabo, ebraico e diverse al tre lingue semitiche. Nel 1701, all'età di 25 anni, fu nominato professore di lingue orientali all'Università di Utrecht. A partire dal 1713, insegnò anche antichità ebraiche e le sue lezioni ebbero tale successo che venne istituita, appositamente per lui, una cattedra di Antichità ebraiche. Reland è diventato famoso per i suoi studi riguardanti la linguistica islamica. Oggi il suo lavoro è considerato come uno dei primi esempi di linguistica comparata. Studioso di persiano, fu interessato alle relazioni dei miti orientali con l'Antico Testamento. A lui si deve la scoperta del collegamento tra la lingua malese ed i dizionari del Pacifico occidentale elaborati da Willem Schouten e Jacob Le Maire. La sua opera “De religione Mohamme dica libri duo” edita nel 1705, è considerata la prima indagine obiettiva sulle credenze e le pratiche islamiche. Appassionato lettore della Bibbia si interessò attivamente all'identificazione della posizione geografica dei luoghi in essa descritti che lo portò, di conseguenza, anche ad interessarsi di archeologia e geografia palestinese. A lui si devono due testi chiave sull'argomento come il “Antiquitates Sacrae veterum Hebraeorum” (1708) ed il “Palaestina ex monumentis veteribus illustrata” (1714). Lo studio qui presentato è un dotto trattato sulla storia narrata sull'Arco di Tito dove oltre alla distruzione del tempio, viene narrata la consistenza dell'enorme tesoro che in esso era contenuto e che venne portato a Roma durante il “Trionfo” dell'imperatore Tito nel 71 A. c. dopo la fine delle Guerre Giudaiche. Prima edizione, in buone condizioni di conservazione. Rif. Bibl.: Brunet IV: 1204.

Bound in the original printed stiff wrappers, incorporating publisher's and other announcements, one of which is illustrated. In a very good condition. ~ First and only edition. Selig Schachnowitz (1874-1952), noted neo-Orthodox journalist and writer. In 1908, at the invitation of Agudat Israel in Germany, he became editor of Der Israelit, a post he held for 30 years until the journal was closed down by the Nazis in 1938. He escaped to Switzerland, taking up residence in Zurich, where he continued his public and literary work until his death. Following a visit to Israel in 1931, he wrote "Zwischen Ruinen und Aufbau in Erez-Israel", which praised agricultural settlement and expressed strong reservations about the lack of religious observance in the new Israel. He was a prolific writer and although his various publicistic works were of a religious propagandist nature, many were of a high literary standard and attracted numerous readers. For a review of Schachnowitz's travelogue in Palestine, see Wolf Kaise: "Palästina, Erez Israel" (Doctoral Thesis, Berlin, 1988).

RARE reprint from The Journal of the Palestine Oriental Society of a thoroughly documented study of the cults, shrines ('awlia) and sanctuaries (maqamat) of Muslim saints, a major contribution to the ethnography of Arab Palestine (especially popular Islam and popular religion in Palestine) by Tawfiq Canaan (1882-1964), a pioneering physician, ethnographer and Palestinian nationalist. Besides being a major medical researcher and the first President of the Palestine Arab Medical Association, the director of several Jerusalem area hospitals before, during, and after the 1948 war, he wrote several books and more than 50 articles on the subject of Palestinian folklore in English and German, which serve as valuable resources to researchers of Palestinian and Middle Eastern heritage. Tawfiq was also a collector of over 1,400 amulets and talismans held to have healing and protective qualities, and upon publishing analyses of these objects, and other popular folk traditions and practices, he was recognized already in his lifetime as a major ethnographer and anthropologist. Contains also a Hebrew title-page, though the book is in English. 215x140mm. VIII+331 pages. Softcover. Cover and spine slightly rubbed. Cover and pages upper corner slightly bumped/wrinkled. Rear cover upper edge wrinkled and slightly chipped. Cover corners and edges, and spine edges and hinges rubbed. Inner cover browning. Pages slightly yellowing. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare inquiry into the folklore and beliefs of Palestinian Arabs, one of the most outstanding contributions to the ethnography of Arab Palestine, is overall in good condition.

1951Original Wraps. 8vo. 46 pages. 23 cm. First edition. First brochure for the first Israel Bond Issuance, announcing the amount and bond types available, etc. Contains several charts and graphs discussing Israel's import/export amounts, public debt, government expenditures, military expenditures, etc. With one map of Israel. The idea to float bonds issued by Israel's government was conceived by Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, in the aftermath of Israel's War of Independence. The war had taken a terrible toll in casualties (more than 1% of the country's population was killed) , and the nation's fledgling economy was devastated. Compounding the dire situation was the fact that Israel faced economic demands unique to the new state, most especially the arrival of hundreds of thousands of immigrants. In Israel's early years, immigrants generally fell into two categories: Holocaust survivors and Jewish refugees from Arab countries, who poured in as the British Blockade ended and Middle Eastern Jews fled or were expelled from their home countries. Short on money, the country suffered food shortages and rationing, and the new arrivals had to be housed in primitive conditions. With his country financially overwhelmed, Ben-Gurion turned to the Diaspora community for help. In September 1950, he convened a meeting of American Jewish leaders at Jerusalem's King David Hotel, where he proposed issuing bonds to help provide Israel with a more secure economic foundation. Ben-Gurion's goals were two-fold: to obtain millions of dollars in funding for immigrant absorption and the construction of national infrastructure, and to engage Diaspora Jewry as active partners in building the new Jewish state. The American Jewish leaders supported Ben-Gurion's plan and, the following spring, the prime minister traveled to New York to help launch the inaugural Independence Issue at a gala Madison Square Garden ceremony . Final results for 1951 more than doubled projections, exceeding $52 million (Wikipedia, 2015) . Subjects: Finance - Israel. Bonds, Government - Israel (State) Economic history - Israel (State) Economic history. Finance. Israel - Economic conditions. American Financial and Development Corporation for Israel. OCLC lists 5 copies (Wayne State, NYPL, US Dept of State, Penn, Harvard) , none in Israel and none west of Detroit. Soiled wraps, folded in half, institutional marks faintly visible on wraps, otherwise clean and fresh. Good condition. Important. (ZION-6-49) xx
