The Open Bible

<B>PRENT-BYBEL</B> voor de Jeugd. Leiden, T. Hooiberg & Zoon, 1864.
A later variant of the popular 18th century "Kleine Print-Bybel". Like in the other 19th century variant, <I>De Beeldsprakige Bijbel</I>, the basic form of the hieroglyphic bible is kept, with the bible-reference at the top of the page, the bible-quotation in rebus-form with charming pictures filling most of the page, and a two-line verse completing the quotation at the bottom of the page. But again new bible texts were chosen, different too from those in <I>De Beeldsprakige Bijbel</I>, and each rebus was newly invented and designed. No solutions are given at the end. Like in all hieroglyphic bibles the charming pictures show a wide variety of objects, animals, children, professions, parts of human anatomy, geographical and astronomical illustrations, Saints, religious symbols, etc.
Good but sl. used copy, with the bookplate of W.B. Ferwerda.- (Spine dam. and loosening; first lvs. sl. stained).
<I>Cat. Bijbel-Tentoonstelling 1914</I>, no. 1342.

Orig. half cloth, with illustration of a large open family bible on front cover. With numerous small lithographed illustrations to the bible texts in rebus-form. Title and 100 lvs., versos blank.

Bloch, J. S. 1850-1923. (Josef Samuel) , URSPRUNG UND ENTSTEHUNGSZEIT DES BUCHES KOHELET. NEUE UNTERSUCHUNGEN ZU EINER ALTEN FRAGE, 1872 [Bamberg] Bamberger Handelsdruckerei,

Hardcover, 12mo. , 152 pages. In German. First Edition. Title in English: Origin and formation of Ecclesiastes. New studies on an old question. SUBJECT (S) : Bible. O. T. Ecclesiastes -- Criticism, interpretation, etc. Bloch was a "rabbi, publicist, and politician in Austria. He acquired distinction for his defenseof Judaism against the blood libel and was praised by Adolf Jellinek as the "Hercules of the antisemitic Augean stables. " Son of a poor baker in Dukla (east Galicia) , Bloch attended yeshivot at Lemberg and Eisenstadt and then the universities of Munich and Zurich. After officiating in provincial communities, he became rabbi of the Vienna suburb of Floridsdorf and a teacher at Jellinek's bet ha-midrash. During the Tisza-Eszlar blood libel trial in 1883, when August Rohling undertook to attest on oath that Jews practiced ritual murder, Bloch attacked him in the press. He challenged Rohling's competence as a scholar, accused him of lying, and offered him 3, 000 florins for translating a random page of the Talmud. Rohling was forced to sue Bloch for libel, but after two years' investigations withdrew his action 13 days before the trial was due to open. Bloch was elected in 1884, 1885, and 1891 to the Austrian Parliament from a preponderantly Jewish constituency of Galicia, and was the first parliamentarian to make Jewish affairs his main political concern, regarding himself as an interpreter and defender of Jewish thought to the non-Jewish public. In 1884 he founded a weekly, Dr. Blochs Oesterreichische Wochenschrift, for combating antisemitism, which existed until after World War I, and also established the Oesterreichisch-Israelitische Union (from 1921: Union deutsch-oesterreichischer Juden) ...For his work in the Jewish cause Bloch was warmly received on visits to the United States in 1912, and again in 1920. During World War I he raised funds on behalf of the Austrian government in neutral countries. He published a compendium of apologetics, Israel und die Voelker (1922; Israeland the Nations, 1927) , based on the evidence of the experts in connection with the Rohling trial, and his memoirs Erinnerungen aus meinem Leben (1922; My Reminiscences, 1927) . He also wrote prolifically on Jewish lore. " (Lamed, EJ, 2007) Spine chipped. Endpapers tanned and chipped. Very good condition. OCLC lists 13 copies worldwide. (RAB-45-2)
