Gutes Exemplar; Umschlag etwas berieben. - Englisch. - Sehr zahlreiche Illustrationen. - The Jews are one of the great enigmas of history. What makes them unique? What has given them their resilience, their power of survival and their ability to adapt to radically new conditions without losing their identity? What combination of religious faith, social organization, intellectual toughness and poetic imagination constitutes Jewishness? The Jewish World approaches these questions in a new way. Eighteen eminent authorities survey Jewish history from its beginnings down to the 20th century: the earliest days before the Exile; the Jewish polity in its encounters with the Great Powers of the ancient world; Jewish life after the destruction of the Jewish state under Christianity and Islam; the impact of the Enlightenment on Jewish thought and traditions; the Jewish experience in 19th- and 20th-century Europe; the rise and development of American Jewry; the appearance of Zionism and its culmination in the foundation of Israel. That is the 'outer' history - but there is another, 'inner', history, without which the first is meaningless. An equal number of chapters are thus devoted to the Bible, to the Talmud, to Jewish philosophy and to mysticism, to imaginative literature, i.e. Hebrew poetry and fiction, and to the challenge of modernity and the way in which Judaism as a system of thought and belief has tried to cope with it. The scheme of the book is therefore novel. So is the rich use of illustrations: contrary to common belief, the Jews have always had a tradition of visual art, largely derived from the art of their neighbours but employed in the service of strictly Jewish needs. Synagogues from Dura Europus to modern times have yielded pictures, manuscript illuminations and liturgical objects whose beauty will be a revelation to many. From the 17th century onwards, ordinary Jewish life is illustrated in prints and popular art of all kinds, much of it never reproduced before. A main concern of the volume is to articulate Jewish history in its own terms, to show how this ancient human group has tried to respond to the extremely varied conditions and challenges, whether political, social or intellectual, which it has encountered in its long history. No previous book has attempted this type of presentation on the same scale and with comparable scholarship.

First edition. Folding map. 8vo. Contemporary calf, black label with gilt lettering to spine; very light wear to extremities, front hinge repaired, otherwise very good. Map and facing page foxed, a very nice copy. x, 338pp. London, John Murray, An attractive copy of Grant?s important study of the Christian Assyrians of northwestern Qajar Iran. It is also a valuable description of travel in the wider region, deemed by Blackmer to be ?one of the most interesting of the many accounts produced by missionaries in the Levant.? Grant (1807-1844) was among the first American missionaries to work in Qajar Iran, helping Justin Perkins to establish a mission in Urmia in 1835. A physician by training, he represented the medical wing of the mission and believed ?healing the body is the most ready way of access to the heart? (p.1). He returned to America to publish his narrative in 1840, which was followed by Perkins? account, A Residence of Eight Years in Persia?, in 1843. Upon returning to Iran, Grant was determined to reach other members of the Assyrian Church of the East and set out for communities based in the remote mountain regions of Hakkari in southeast Turkey. Once there he set about healing the sick, of course with an eye to shaping their faith and attracting new converts. However, his ambitions were short lived, as his intervention helped stir concerns among the Kurdish tribes that further interference would inevitably follow his mission work. Their suspicions soon turned to violence against the Assyrian Christians, and Grant fled to Mosul where he briefly ministered to refugees before dying of fever in 1844. Blackmer (citing the second US edition), 721; Finnie, Pioneers East, pp. 213-41.

Erstausgabe
First edition of this spirited and engaging account, illustrated with simple but appealing illustrations, lithographed by Hullmandel from Yates's own sketches. "A very interesting work by a medical man who travelled extensively in Egypt c. 1840. Yates also provides an extensive general commentary on political events in Syria, Crete and Egypt in addition to the ordinary account of his travels" (Blackmer). The Scottish doctor William Holt Yates remains a frustratingly shadowy figure. We do know that he was a member of the Royal Asiatic Society (admitted 1834) and president of both the Royal Medical and Royal Physical Societies of Edinburgh, and senior physician to the General Dispensary at Aldersgate in the City, during a time when the young David Livingstone was taking extracurricular studies there. The publication of his book was timely as there was growing interest in Egypt following the Oriental Crisis of 1840, when European powers intervened following Muhammed Ali Pasha's attempt to establish a personal empire in the Ottoman province of Egypt, subsequent to his defence of Syria from Ottoman aggression. The British and Austrian navies blockaded the Nile delta and shelled Beirut; Muhammed Ali agreed terms, ratified at the Convention of London (15 July 1840). Yates would having been travelling in Egypt hot on the heels of fellow Scot David Roberts, who visited the country in 1838-39. His books is well represented institutionally but decidedly uncommon commercially. This copy is presented in bright examples of the attractive original cloth bindings and extra illustrated by the addition of two engraved folding maps hand-coloured in outline and mounted on stubs at the end of volume I, depicting Egypt and Classical Egypt (Chapman & Hall, 1831); these were originally issued by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, under the auspices of the classical scholar and educational radical, George Long. Not in Abbey; Blackmer 1853; Hilmy II pp. 345-47 (also listing an abridged version of 1842 issued by Bohn, which appears to be a ghost); not in Weber (Voyages and travels in the near east during the XIX century). 2 volumes, octavo. Original green fine diaper-grain cloth, spines gilt lettered and blocked with Egyptian motifs, covers with blind ornamental panelling, yellow coated endpapers. Lithograph portrait frontispieces of Mohammed Ali and Ibrahim Pasha, 12 tinted lithograph plates (8 views), one wood engraving in the text. Spines professionally relined and just a little sunned, couple of glancing dents to fore edges of boards, covers of vol. II slightly discoloured at fore edge, old ownership stamp erased from centre of title pages with neat paper patch repair on verso. A very good copy, sound, clean and bright.
