Abraham Bar Hiyya Savasorda, Solomon Judah Leib Rapoport, Aizik Fraiman: SEFER HEGYON HA-NEFESH, 1966 Yerushalayim

(FT) Hardcover, 12mo, lxiii pages, 43 leaves, 25 cm. In Hebrew. Series: Sifriyah le-mah? Shevet Yisrael. SUBJECT(S) : Jewish ethics. Added title page: Hegjon ha-nefesch, der Sitten-Buch. Photo-offset of Leipzig, 1860 edition. Rapoport (1790-1867) was a "rabbi and scholar, pioneer of Haskalah and Wissenschaft des Judentums. Rapoport, born in Lemberg, Galicia, received a traditional education and became known for his brilliance as a talmudist. Under the influence of Nachman Krochmal he took an early interest in Haskalah and secular learning, studying classical, Semitic, and modern languages, as well as science... Rapoport was appointed chief rabbi of Prague in 1840, successfully opposing the candidacy of Zevi Hirsch Chajes for the same position. After some youthful efforts at poetry and drama, including a paraphrase of Racine's Esther entitled She'erit Yehudah, Rapoport turned to Jewish scholarship, publishing articles in Bikkurei ha-Ittim and Kerem Hemed. Dealing with biblical subjects, he considered the Book of Judges a composite work, certain Psalms to be post-Davidic, and some chapters in Isaiah as belonging to a later prophet. His real mark on Jewish scholarship was made in a series of bibliographical studies of the geonic leaders Saadiah, Hai, Hananel b. Hushi'el, Nissim b. Jacob, and Hefez b. Yazliah, and of Eleazar ha-Kallir and Nathan b. Jehiel of Rome, author of the Arukh. These studies illuminated a relatively obscure period of Jewish history and paved the way for later research; moreover, they set a new standard of critical methodology to be applied to the history of rabbinics. In them Rapoport traced the migration of rabbinic scholarship and tradition from Ere? Israel through italy to Central and Western Europe, and from Babylonia through North Africa to Spain. Of importance, too, was his Erekh Millin, a talmudic encyclopedia dealing mainly with historical and archaeological aspects of the Talmud. Rapoport also wrote an introduction to Abraham b. Hiyya's ethical treatise Hegyon ha-Nefesh. Rapoport wrote articles for Abraham Geiger's Wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift, Julius Fuerst's Orient, and Zacharias Frankel's Zeitschrift fuer die religioesen Interessen des Judentums and became editor of Kerem Hemed . He was in close contact with these and other leading figures of the Wissenschaft des Judentums; Iggerot Shir, ed. By S. E. Graeber; M. S. Ghirondi, Peletat Soferim; and B. Z. Dinaburg-Dinur. Rapoport took a moderate line against radical writers such as Geiger. He strongly opposed the decisions of the Rabbinical Conferences held by the German Reform rabbis, both for the divisive character of the proposed reforms and for the assimilationist tendencies which inspired them, but even so did not exclude the reformers from the Jewish people as long as they considered themselves Jewish. Like Krochmal and Luzzatto, he wanted to see the national character of Judaism preserved. When Frankel's Darkhei ha-Mishnah was attacked by Samson Raphael Hirsch and others on dogmatic grounds, Rapoport came to his defense" (Mirelman in EJ, 2007) . Hinge repair. Some stained pages. Notes on some pages. Bumped cover corners and wear to cover binding edges. Belonged to Yisrael Shalom Yosef Friedman, written inside cover. Othwerise, good condition. (Heb-18-17)

Hardcover, 12mo, x, 101 pages. In Hebrew. OCLC lists 1 copy worldwide (Danish Royal Library) . Plungian (1814-1883) was a "Hebrew writer. Born in Plunge, Lithuania, he became learned in talmudic and rabbinical literature; later, he was attracted to the Haskalah and studied foreign languages. In his biography of R. Manasseh b. Joseph of Ilya, Ben Porat, Plungian dissociated himself from extremist Haskalah ideology as well as from unenlightened Orthodoxy. This work angered the religious elements, and Plungian backed down and destroyed the manuscript of the second part. He wrote for the journals Kerem Hemed, Ha-Maggid, Ha-Karmel, and Ha-Shahar and also wrote poetry. His writings include Kerem Shelomo, a commentary in two parts on Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs; Tel-Piyyot; Shevet Eloha; and Or Boker" (Slutsky in EJ, 2007) . Yellowing to edges of pages. Hinge repair. Bumped cover corners, with edgewear to cover. Otherwise, very good condition. (Heb-36-7)
