1892417 pages. Index. Appendices. Footnotes. List of sixty black and white illustrations. A rare surviving copy of this important reference, made all the more engaging by today's environment of competing fiat currency devaluations. "Hitherto Numismatists when stydying the Origines of Coinage had confined themselves to the materials presented to them in the earliest money of Lydia, Greece and Italy, and on the other hand the Metrologists had almost completely limited their range of observation to the systems of Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome. As the Comparative Method has yielded such excellent results in the study of other human institutions, I have endeavoured by its aid to get some new principles which may throw some fresh light on the first beginnings of monetary and weight systems." - from Preface. Attractive gilt decoration upon green front board. Legible gilt lettering upon backstrip. Average external soiling and wear. Several chips from and lengthy openings along backstrip which has become brittle with age. Narrow opening along most of front hinge. Back hinge open. Bookplate discretely removed inside front board.

Lot of 5 original single-sheet maps in copperplate engraving of fine quality. Fine, strong impressions on heavy handmade paper with ample margins all round. First, original state, unaltered by later colouration. Preserved flat in acid-free, pH-balanced, buffered archival paper. In fine condition. - - Full individual descriptions are available on request. - - First edition. Willem Albert Bachiene (1712-1783), Dutch clergyman, later a professor of geography and astronomy at the Illustere School, Maastricht. Well known cartographer. The 3-volume "Heilige geographie of aardrijkskundige beschryving van het Joodsche land, alsmede andere landen in de H. Schrift voorkomende," is considered among his most important works. It was published in Utrecht between 1763-1768, and included a suite of 12 fine geographical maps of the Holy Land and its neighbouring lands which Bachiene made during a period of ten years, the first in as early as 1758. The map offered herewith is taken from this suite. Other important cartographic works of the Holy Land by Bachiene were included in the so-called "Jehovah Bible" i.e. "De Gansche H. Schrift, Vervattende alle de regelmatige Boeken des Ouden en Nieuwen Testaments (.) Gods Gedenk-Naam Jehovah onvertaald gehouden" published in 1762 by N. Goetzee of Gorinchem, shortly before the present map first appeared in book form. Whereas other single-sheet maps by Bachiene are in relative abundance, the works from "Heilige geographie of aardrijkskundige beschryving van het Joodsche land" are very scarce, seldom found in any state, practically unavailable in their original, uncoloured state. - - Note regarding this lot: Each of the 5 maps in this lot is offered also separately.

He was also awarded the Israel Prize for jurisprudence in 1957. (Wikipedia, 2018) . SUBJECTS: Jewish law -- Periodicals. OCLC lists three copies worldwide (HUC, Brandeis, Harvard) , none in New York.

18991st edition. Original boards. 8vo. 57 pages, 21 cm. Mostly in Hebrew with some English. Signerman 5474, listing 2 copies. Goldman 947, Deinard (KA) 618. Title translates to Book of Zion: Includes a Collection of Different Articles and Writings by the Authors of Israel in America. The only published issue of this Zionist periodical, which was edited by Ephraim Deinard. Includes articles on Zionism and Hebraic culture in America; A list of Zionist societies in America (pp. 4-11; among the locales are Altona, PA, Key West, FL, Knoxville, TN, St. Joseph, ME, and Waco, TX) ; letters that Deinard sent on behalf of Mafitze Sifrat Zion to President William McKinley, Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland (pp. 45-9) ; a bio-bibliography of Bernhard Felsenthal (pp. 55-7) ; short book reviews by Deinard (pp. 50-5) ; poetry (pp. 22-3) ; and a list of subscribers (final page) . Deinard records, "on account of an error by the young typesetter my name does not appear on [the title page] of this work, the majority of which I authored" (Koheleth America, part 1, p. 55n) . However, only seven of the fifteen articles are signed by him. Other contributors included Julius [Joel] Aronson, A. B. Dobsewitch, Judah David Eisenstein, Max Nordau, Moses Hacohen Reicherson, Abraham Hayyim Rosenberg and Rabbi Moses Weinberger. Subscriptions cost fifty cents. The printer later reported, "I received many subscriptions. Only a few paid the fifty cents in advance, the majority promised to pay once they received the book. After they received it they again promised [to pay], but their promise will forever remain unfulfilled. Ephraim Deinard, (18461930) , was a leading bibliographer and Hebrew author. He wandered in his youth, collecting ancient manuscripts and books in many countries, and then established a bookshop in Odessa. In 1897 he tried unsuccessfully to found an agricultural settlement in Nevada (U. S. ) . An active Zionist, he settled in Palestine in 1913 where he investigated the possibilities of Jewish settlement. After being expelled by the Turks in 1916 he returned to the United States and continued his bibliographical work. His two most noteworthy bibliographical works are Or Mayer: Catalogue of the Old Hebrew Manuscripts and Printed Books of the Library of the Hon. Mayer Sulzberger of Philadelphia (1896) and Koheleth America (1926) , a listing of Hebrew books published in America from 1735 to 1926. The first part of the latter work contains essays on the state of Hebrew literature in America, which are written in his unadorned, but typically acerbic, style. He laid the foundations of the Hebrew book and manuscript collections of the Library of Congress with the financial aid of Jacob Schiff. A violent polemicist on many controversial subjects, he attacked Reform Judaism, Hasidism, Christianity, and Karaism. Deinard was a prolific Hebrew writer, producing more than 50 books and pamphlets often signed with his pseudonym, Adir (Wikipedia, 2018; Goldman 2006) . SUBJECTS: Hebrew literature -- United States. Jewish literature -- United States. OCLC lists 12 copies worldwide (OCLC: 24132716) . Good+ condition. (ZION2-1-2-BR)
