Hardcover. 1st thus. xvi, 541 (works by Lagarde: 542-44) p.; 24 cm. Esther, texts a-b in parallel with full apparatus, p. 512-41. [No more issued] 'Similar reasoning led Field to regard codd. 22, 36, 48, 51, 62, 90, 93, 144, 147, 233, 308 as presenting a more or less Lucianic text in the Prophets. Meanwhile, Lagarde had independently reached nearly the same result, so far as regards the historical books. He satisfied himself that codd. 19, 82, 93, 108, 118 [his h, f, m, d, p], had sprung from a common archetype, the text of which was practically identical with that of the LXX. as quoted by Chrysostom, i.e., with the Antiochian text of the fourth century, which presumably was Lucianic. Lagarde proceeded to construct from these and other sources a provisional text of Lucian, but his lamented death intercepted the work, and only the first volume of his Lucianic LXX. has appeared (Genesis-2 Esdr., Esther).' (Swete, Introduction to the Old Testament in Greek, p. 83) -- Darlow and Moule: brief note after no. 4920 -- 'There can be little doubt that without Lagarde the field of Septuagint studies would present today a much less ordered array, since to him is due that directive which in large measure has determined the disposition of its resources by laying down the principles for their effective use. Even with those who have reacted most strongly against his convictions and procedure the debt is no less weighty, for it is precisely on the 'Lagardian principles' that the fieid is so sharply divided.'

Eighteenth-century Pentateuch, vocalised, with Ashkenazic and Sephardic Haftarot and commentary by Rashi. The Proops family were a dynasty of well known Hebrew printers, publishers, and booksellers in Amsterdam. Solomon Ben Yosef (d. 1734), whose father may have been a Hebrew printer as well, was an established bookseller in Amsterdam and in 1704 had set up his own Hebrew press, which produced mainly liturgical books as well as works on halakhah, Kabbalah, Jewish ethics and history. From 1715 productions by Proops carried advertisements of books he had published, and in 1730 he issued a sales catalogue, the first such Hebrew publication. After his death, appointed guardians continued to operate the press, and even when his three sons took over, they continued to trade under the old name until 1751, and later - under their own names. In 1785 Joseph Proops sold most of his work to Kurzbeck of Vienna, and when Proops died a year later, his widow and sons continued printing on a small scale, with various partners, until 1812. Solomon ben Abraham Proops, grandson of Solomon Ben Yosef split from the family printing house in 1797 and continued to work alone until 1827. Five vols, 8vo; publisher's calf gilt, with individual pressed paper slipcase to each vol., spine, corners and slipcases extremely rubbed, Vol. I hinge cracked but holding; previous owners signature in Hebrew in old brown ink to each title.

First edition of Levi's Hebrew-English Pentateuch, which came to be the best known bible translation by a Jew of its time. Published together with a sixth volume of the Five Scrolls. Roth lists this edition as five volumes only. This Pentateuch contains the Haftarot, a series of selections from the books of Prophets of the Hebrew Bible that are publicly read in synagogue as part of the Jewish religious practice, following the Torah reading on Saturdays, Jewish festivals and fast days. Hebrew text and English translation printed on facing pages, English text accompanied by explanatory notes. Divisional title pages for the Haftarot. The additional Hebrew title page of each volume engraved by Solomon Polack, showing Jews praying and celebrating in a synagogue. David Levi (1742-1801), was an erudite Whitechapel cobbler and one of the most remarkable characters of 18th-century English Jewry. He was born in London and after failing to make a living as a shoemaker, went to the opposite extreme and became a hatter, meanwhile continuing his studies at the Great Synagogue of London. In 1783 he produced a succinct account of the 'Rites and Ceremonies of the Jews, in which their religious principles and tenets are explained'. From that date onwards, he was constantly engaged in literary work, in the intervals of trying to earn his livelihood. He produced grammars, dictionaries, apologetics, pamphlets and polemics. For years on end he was a one-man Anti-Defamation Committee, always prepared to fight with his quill whenever the good name of Jews or Judaism was impugned. In addition, he produced a series of liturgical and other translations, considered to be superior to A. Alexander's. Alexander, who was a well-known and established rival London-Jewish publisher, saw in Levi an imitator. First edition; 6 vols (incl. separate vol. for the five scrolls); 8vo (19.5 x 13 cm), Hebrew & English text on facing pages; recent half black cloth, in imitation of morocco, over marbled boards, spines gilt with floral device to each compartment, vol. 6 with slightly different floral device, marbled endpapers; 2 title pages: Hebrew & English to first 5 vols; vol. VI published with Hebrew title page only and a divisional Hebrew-English title page for each scroll; Hebrew title pages engraved by Solomon Polack; some staining & browning to pages, repaired tears to some pages. The five scrolls vol. contains illustration plate depicting the ten sons of Haman hanged. Vinograd (London), 116; Roth B8:29.…

4to. (16), 458, (2) pp. With the title in a woodcut architectural frame. Contemporary vellum. "First printing of the Pentateuch in Arabic characters" (Smitskamp). Edited by Thomas Erpenius and printed with his influential nashk Arabic types, cut under his direction by Arent Corsz. Hogenacker in Leiden. It gives the text of a 13th-century translation of the Pentateuch in the Maghreb dialect (spoken in Mauritania). Erpenius was one of the most distinguished orientalists and by far the best Arabist of his day. He published an influential Arabic grammar and several excellent critical editions. His own private printing office, equipped with Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, Ethiopic and Turkish type, produced its first works as early as 1615. - With bookplate, owner's inscription and library stamp of Verplanck Colvin (1847-1920). Occasional spots, some leaves with a minor waterstain in the upper or lower margin, nor affecting the text. A good copy, with generous margins.

Single leaf (maximum 275 x 320 mm). Hebrew manuscript in Samaritan script on vellum. God speaks to Moses and demonstrates His power to deliver the children of Israel from Egypt in this hitherto unpublished fragment from Exodus in Samaritan. Remarkably early among preserved manuscripts of the Samaritan Pentateuch, it is also of imposing dimensions, deriving from a once imposing codex. - The text, in an admirably clear Samaritan hand, relates the conversation between Moses and God, the latter promising to deliver his chosen people "unto a land flowing with milk and honey". In response to Moses' questions, God gives demonstrations of His power, including turning Moses' rod into a serpent and back. When asked by Moses who he should say sent him, God answers "I am that am". - The earliest fragments of the Samaritan Pentateuch date to the eleventh century CE, but most of the manuscripts cited in the recent critical edition by Stefan Schorch date between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. Our fragment, apparently dating to the middle of the twelfth century, thus has a place among some of the very first witnesses to the Holy Scriptures in the language of Samaria. - The Samaritan script appears to have evolved at some point after the fourth century CE on the basis of the Palaeo-Hebrew alphabet, which was used in the Davidic kingdom. Although earlier Samaritan inscriptions use the Aramaic or standard "square" Hebrew alphabet, the development of a system of writing based on the pre-captivity script was probably a development meant to assert a separate Samaritan identity against a broader Jewish tradition which was rejected. - In contrast to Jews, Samaritans only regarded the first five books of the Bible (the Pentateuch or Torah) as canonical. The Samaritan Pentateuch includes a number of smaller variants from the Hebrew Bible, often agreeing more closely with the text of the Septuagint, in addition to the more substantial difference of mandating worship on Mount Gerizim rather than in Jerusalem. - A defining moment in Biblical history and a testimony to the endurance of one of the most ancient Israelite communities. Also, an extreme rarity: Rare Book Hub lists only two other sales of Samaritan Pentateuch leaves from the twelfth century, in 2021 and 1978 at Sotheby's. - Irregular edges, stained and worn. Three small holes in leaf plus marginal loss but text overwhelmingly present. Overall in good condition for a fragment of this age. - 1) Pacific School of Religion, Badé Museum of Biblical Archaeology, Berkeley, California. - 2) De-accessioned in 2013 as part of the sale of the Howell Collection of Bibles and other theological rarities. - 3) John Windle, San Francisco. - 4) European private collection. - Cf.
