"I am offering in the present publication of the Sephardic Classical Library the first edition of the oldest Ladino Prayer Book pre-dating the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. It is also the only specific Woman's Prayer Book preserved from the Sephardic tradition.The Ladino translation of this condensed version of the traditional Hebrew Prayer Book seems to be the work of an individual who undertook to select and translate those portions of the ritual most useful to a woman for her personal daily use at home and occasionally for the Sabbath and the festive days in the synagogue. in many places, the translator has altered verbs in the plural to singular as well as some masculine nouns to feminine in order to adapt the text to the individual female worshipper. The handwriting does not represent the work of a professional scribe, or that of a skilled medieval translator of the Scriptures, nor is his translation a copy of a previous written model. The manuscript represents a literal and spontaneous translation from the Hebrew, seemingly often from memory, in a spoken and dialectal language that reflects a much older Spanish-Jewish oral tradition." (M. Lazar). Volume 10 of the series "The Sephardic Classical Library." Text in Hebrew, with some Spanish and English. Fine condition. Scarce.

Hardcover. Zustand: vg. Limited edition. 4to. XVIII, [4], 727 pp. on acid-free paper. Original smyth-sewn purple clothbound with silver illustration on front board and gold lettering on spine. Fourteenth volume in the "Sephardic Classical Library" series. The Middle Ages witnessed a growing interest of Jewish readers in "Jewish" epic and romance narratives. The Book of Yosippon, written originally in the second half of the 11th century in southern Italy, dominates the horizon of medieval literary historiography. Except for its first two chapters, which succinctly chronicle the generations stemming from Adam's children, the book focuses essentially on the historical events of the Second Temple period and subsequent upheavals. Its author has adapted Latin versions of the works of Flavius Josephus and other historiographers, and was also influenced by the contemporary literary models among Christian writers. Abraham Assa's Ladino version of Yosippon, the first in that language, was published in Constantinople in 1743/44. Except for its introductory and concluding sections, both found at the rear of Lazar's edition, it is without doubt derived and adapted from the first printed Hebrew edition printed in Venice (1544). Avraham Assa's Ladino adaptation from the Hebrew is masterfully executed and articulated in a beautiful readable style. The Venice 1544 edition is marred by many printing errors, some corrected in later editions. The Hebrew manuscripts contain similar scribal errors. Asa's own text also suffers from a continuous misreading of homonyms and toponyms found in non-biblical sources; these have been corrected in Lazar's work, following the critical text established by Flusser. Introduction, Notes, Bibliography in English; text in romanized Ladino facing Ladino in Hebrew script, Appendix in Hebrew-script Ladino. Book in fine condition.

Softcover. Zustand: vg. Second printing. 8vo. XVI, 967 pp. Original illustrated wraps. Second volume in the "Henry J. Leir Library of Sephardica: Text and Studies" series. The first comprehensive reader of Ladino literature, covering a wide range of texts from the 15th to the early decades of the 20th century, most of them originally written or printed in Ladino using Hebrew typeface. The editor's aim is to open a window on the cultural heritage, which the Iberian Jewish exiles carried with them to Italy and the Ottoman Empire. The Ladino Reader presents a broad spectrum of poetic and prose writings, some of which were written before the expulsion. Most of the Ladino texts in Hebrew characters face transliterated versions; a few are present only in Hebrew typeface or in romanized transliteration. As traditional Ladino texts, particularly those dealing with religious and ethical matters contain a great number of Hebrew and Aramaic words or expressions, a succinct glossary is provided; the same for Turkish words found in later Ladino texts. Text in romanized and Hebrew-font Ladino with introductions in English. Wraps and interior in fine condition.

Hardcover. Zustand: vg. First edition. 8vo. [8], 380 pp. Original grey cloth with red lettering on front cover and spine. Photographic frontispiece of Henry J. Leir. Eighth volume in the "Henry J. Leir Library of Sephardica: Text and Studies" series. A collection of folktales about Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, also known as the Rambam, divided into ten thematic sections, with an analytical introduction and various typology and bibliographic notes at the rear, together with a series of comprehensive indices, including geographic origins and narrative types and motifs. An English translation (published to commemorate the 800th anniversary of Maimonides' death) of the 1985 Spanish edition by Tamar Alexander and Elene Romero (published on the occasion of the 850th anniversary of his birth in Cordoba). Accompanied with a foreword by Moshe Lazar. Illustrated with b/w photographic reproductions. Fine condition. R. Moses Maimonides (Rambam) was a 12th century Jewish philosopher and halachic legal scholar. A highly controversial figure, both during his lifetime and after his death, but generally acknowledged as the preeminent Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages. He was born in Córdoba, Spain but fled as a child due to Almohad persecution of Jews. He eventually settled in Egypt where he served as a rabbi, physician and philosopher. His fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah, his only work not in Arabic, still carries canonical authority, particularly within the Yemenite Jewish community, as the codification of Talmudic law. His other work includes a commentary on the Mishnah entitled Kitab al-Siraj, Kitab al-Fara'I, a book on precepts, and the philosophical work Dalalat al-Ha'irin, known in Hebrew as the Moreh Nevukhim, The Guide to the Perplexed. The major premise is an attempted philosophical/theological reconciliation of the Hebrew Bible and Greek knowledge and explaining away anthropomorphic and antropopathic terms in the Bible. This work came to play a central role in all subsequent major controversies over philosophy within the Jewish community during the Middle Ages.

Hardcover. Zustand: vg. Limited first edition. 1/300. 4to. XXXVIII, 562 pp. on acid-free paper. Original red smyth-sewn clothbound with silver illustration on front cover and silver lettering on spine. Twelfth volume in the "Sephardic Classical Library" series. The Sefer Ha-Yashar was first printed in Naples in 1522 and has often been reprinted thereafter. It is a Hebrew midrashic work popularly known as The Book of Jasher and it derives its name from the Sefer haYashar mentioned in the biblical books of Joshua and 2nd Samuel. The book covers biblical history from the creation of Adam and Eve to a summary of the initial Israelite conquest of Canaan (as told in the book of Judges). It contains references that correspond to biblical texts, including the reference to the sun and moon in Joshua and the reference to teaching the Sons of Judah to fight with the bow in 2nd Samuel. Using linguistic analysis, modern scholars have dated the work to the late medieval period. In addition to the Midrash and the Talmud, the author of the Sefer Ha-Yashar drew from Josippon and other medieval compilations. This critical edition is based on the oldest Ladino Sefer Ha-Yashar manuscript, which dates to the latter part of the 17th century. Includes a selected bibliography and a glossary. Introduction, Notes and Commentaries in English; text in romanized Ladino, facing Ladino in Hebrew characters. Binding and interior in fine condition.
