17641 MASHAL HA-KADMUNI, by Isaac ben Salomon ben Sahola, edited by Meir ben Jacob Franzoni: a work consisting of proverbial phrases in rhyme, illustrated by prose fables, all in Hebrew, sm. 4to. numerous woodcuts of talking animals and other facetious designs, somewhat in the style of Esop and the Septem Sapientes, bound in hogskin, stamped with portraits and arabesques in compartments, and the arms of Saxony, VERY RARE, from the Sunderland library, £5. 5s Venice, about 1560 Written in the 13th century, and probably derived from the Kalila wa Dimna. It is bound along with three other rare Hebrew pieces: Shevil Amunah, Trent, 1559; Shaar ha-Shamayim (the Caballistic Porta Coelorum), Vinet. 1547; Evronoth, a Hebrew Calendar, Trent, 1561. They must have all have been carried northward by some German traveller in or soon after 1561, and bound for him perhaps at Wittenberg about 1565-70. 17642 MISCHNA sive totius Hebræorum Juris, Rituum, Antiquitatum, ac Legum Oralium Systema, cum clarissimorum Rabbinorum Maimonidis et Bartenoræ commentariis integris, hebraice et latine, ed. G. SURENHUSIUS, 6 vols. in 3, stout folio, plates, old calf, £5. 15s; or in 6 vols. hf. bd. uncut, £8. Amst. 1698-9 The Mishna is the oldest and most important body of the Hebrew traditions. The Talmud (of Babylon or of Jerusalem) is composed of the Mishna, with the supplementary Gemara (Jerusalem or Babylonian, as the case may be), a later collection of traditions. The value of this work cannot be too highly estimated. The text is given in Hebrew and Latin, the commentaries of Bartenora and Maimonides as well as the notes of Guisius, Surenhusius, and others, being in Latin only. 17643 EIGHTEEN TREATISES from the Mishna, translated by De Sola and Raphall, 8vo. cloth, 18s 1843 For an English reader who wishes to know something of the contents of a famous book, these translations are extremely useful. see TALMUD, post, No. 17663. 17644 [MILMAN (Dean)] History of the Jews, second edition, 3 vols. 12mo. cloth, 4s 6d Family Library, 1830-29 Paris, 1868 17645 NEUBAUER (Adolphe) la Géographie du Talmud, large 8vo. sd. 98; or, hf. calf, 10s 17646 OXLEE (John) the Christian doctrines of the Trinity and Incarnation considered and maintained on the principles of Judaism, 3 vols. 8vo. cloth, 158 1815 17647 PHILONIS JUDÆI Opera, notis illustravit Th.

The one joined the intellectual company of the Neo-platonists, the other flung himself into the new sect along with peasants and fishermen. The latter has become a saint, whose words are quoted throughout the world; the philosopher is only read by scholars and students. Philo sought to prove that the Pentateuch contained the essence of Greek philosophy, as well as the truth of Jewish history, 17650 PISTORII (Joannis) Artis Cabalisticæ, hoc est, recondita Theologiæ et Philosophiae scriptorum Tomus I, all published, folio, vellum, £2.

His theory that the population of the world split into three sections at the destruction of Babel, each carrying with them over the globe the traditions of the true religion, afterwards warped and transformed by time-does not invalidate the industry and learning which enabled him to gather innumerable facts of real importance. Buddhism was merely the corruption of the religion held by the Hebrew patriarchs after the Deluge, and the Brahman mythology of India was derived from Buddhism.
