Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. Hardback. 8vo. 17 cms by 13. Two parts. Complete. pp [16], 332 [i.e. 330, pp.145-146 omitted from pagination but (but catchwords running on normally); p.149 numbered 145, 153 as 149], [5, elenchus], [1, blank]"Oratio de. Tetragrammato" at rear has caption title but shares pagination. Woodcut printer's device at title; lettrines, head- and tailpieces. First edition of a famous and controversial work of seventeenth-century Hebraic scholarship, published anonymously with an introduction by the celebrated arabist Thomas Erpenius. "In the second and third quarter of the 17th century the attitude which an orientalist took towards the antiquity of the vocalisation signs was to become a touchstone of his attitude towards the more strictly dogmatic opinions" (Van Rooden). William Orme, in his 1824 Bibliotheca Biblica WROTE: "This celebrated work, which first attacked the authority of the Masoretic points, stated all the arguments against them so fully and clearly, that it exhausted the subject at the first onset." Here published anonymously, the Arcanum was reprinted in Cappel's 1689 Commentarii et notae criticae in Vetus Testamentum. Van Rooden states that in the 1625 edition of his Ius regium Hebraeorum the Hebraist Wilhelm Schickhard was the first to reveal (amid the minutiae of an errata note) Cappel's identity as the author of the Arcanum. The work concludes with Cappel's 1614 oration on the correct pronunciation of the tetragrammaton. Rebound in recent half dark leather, marbled boards lettered gilt at the spine with 5 raised bands. Some slight chips and creasing to edges of first blank title page and first page of the book (preface) with no loss of text. Pages clean and sound - overall very good or better.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Eight parts, octavo: [asterisk]8 A-2M8 2N4 (K5 signed K3), 292 leaves, pp. [16], 416, 413-564 [i.e. 568]. Title in red and black; separate half-titles for each part. Woodcut lettrines; printed side notes. Numerous citations in Hebrew and Greek. Contemporary vellum (soiled, slight separation at upper joint). Mild embrowning at the edges. Text fine and crisp throughout. Overall a very good copy. First edition of this compendium (one of two issues, the other published by Johann Coster), in which nine celebrated early modern Christian hebraists advance their views on the original pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton [YHWH]. The celebrated hebraist and Old Testament scholar Adriaan Reland (1676-1718), judged by Bayle to be one of the most learned writers of the eighteenth century, is best remembered for his works on Jewish antiquities. He edited various other collections of essays and dissertations, including Analecta Rabbinica (1702); Dissertationes miscellaneae (1706-1708); Dissertationes de nummis veterum Hebraeorum (1709). His opinion on the proper pronunciation of [YHWY] agrees with the first five hebraists in the present collection, as well as the current scholarly consensus. I.- Johannes Drusius (the elder, 1550-1615) Tetragrammaton, sive de nomine Dei proprio. II. - Sixtinus Amama (1593-1629) De nomine tetragrammato. [with a response to Fuller]. III. - Louis Cappel (1585-1658) Oratio de SS. Dei nomine tetragammato [YHWH] ac genuina ejus pronunciatione, -- see Burnett, Buxtorf, 229: ?Shortly after his appointment ot Saumur in 1613 he began his studies in biblical philology and textual criticism. His lecture on the Tetragrammaton, delivered on June 22, 1614, attests to a preoccupation with methodology which would distinguish his later work.? This was later printed in the Arcanum punctationis (1624), and here in our volume. IV. - Johann Buxtorf (the elder, 1565-1629) Dissertatio de nomine [YHWH] -- see Burnett, Buxtorf, 124: ?For the Tetragrammaton alone Buxtorf devoted ten pages of discussion [in his 1615 Lexicon Hebraicum et Chaldaicum].? V. - Jacob Alting (1618-1679) Exercitatio grammatica, De punctis ac pronunciatione tetragrammati [YHWH]. VI. - Nicolus Fuller (1557-1626) Dissertatio de nomine [YHWH] -- see Orme and his note on Drusius? charge of plagiarism against. VII. - Thomas Gataker (1574-1654) De nomine tetragrammato dissertatio. (London, 1645) - Gataker later defended himself against Cappel in Thomae Gatakeri . Dissertationis de Tetragrammato suæ, a D. Ludovici Cappelli, in diatribæ de eodem suæ defensione nuperâ, adversus eandem objectis, Vindicatio (London, 1652). VIII-X. - Johannes Leusden (1624-1699) Dissertationes tres, de vera lectione nominis Jehova.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First edition. Two parts, small quarto. Collation: (a)-(b)4, A-2T4 (= 176 leaves). [16], 332 [i.e. 330, pp.145-146 omitted from pagination; p.149 numbered 145, 153 as 149], [5, elenchus], [1, blank]pp. ?Oratio de. Tetragrammato? with caption title. Woodcut printer?s device at title; lettrines, head- and tailpieces. Later calf, spine with raised bands, compartments tooled in gilt (title label worn with some loss; tear at head cap repaired). Occasional neat underlining and marginal emphases in an old hand throughout. An interesting copy, amply-margined and interleaved with heavier stock, upon which the title has been mounted. Text fine. First edition of one of the most important and controversial works of seventeenth-century Hebraic scholarship, published anonymously with an introduction by the celebrated arabist Thomas Erpenius. ?In the second and third quarter of the 17th century the attitude which an orientalist took towards the antiquity of the [Massoretic] vocalisation signs was to become a touchstone of his attitude towards the more strictly dogmatic opinions? (Van Rooden). The clarity and force of this seminal piece of scholarship is perhaps best described by William Orme, in his 1824 Bibliotheca Biblica: ?This celebrated work, which first attacked the authority of the Masoretic points, stated all the arguments against them so fully and clearly, that it exhausted the subject at the first onset.? Here published anonymously, the Arcanum was reprinted in Cappel?s 1689 Commentarii et notae criticae in Vetus Testamentum (Commentaries and Critical Notes on the Old Testament). Van Rooden states that the Hebraist Wilhelm Schickhard (in the minutiae of an errata note in his 1625 Ius regium Hebraeorum) was the first to reveal Cappel?s identity as the author of the Arcanum. The work concludes with a reprint of Cappel?s 1614 "Oratio de ss. Dei nomine Tetragrammato YHVH ac genuina ejus pronuntiatione" (Oration on the Correct Pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton). The oration was reprinted in a 1707 compilation edited by Adriaan Reland, Decas exercitationum philologicarum de vera pronuntiatione nominis Jehova, comprising ten dissertations on the same topic, written by eight scholars in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
