Description
Judaica1611 "Daniel, Hezra, & Nechemiah" Printed In Hebrew And Latin
1611, Book, "Daniel, Hezra, & Nechemiah", printed in Hebrew and Latin, Fine.
Original 1611 printing of the books of Daniel, Ezra, and Nehemiah, 7.25" x 4.5", hardcover, 134 pages. This rare, early 17th Century work was printed in Antwerp, Belgium by Officina Plantiniana Raphelengii. This volume has a Hebrew text with interlinear Latin translation, by the celebrated Dominican scholar, Santes Pagninus (i.e. Pagnini, 1470-1536). Bound in old sheep skin or leather (most of which has worn off), generally the book is clean internally. The cover is well worn, the hinges cracked, and there is an institutional stamp on the title page. The pages are numbered from 415 to 548, and the volume opens and reads in traditional Hebrew format (from right to left, and back to front). The Dominican friar's Latin version of the Hebrew Bible, the first since St. Jerome's, contributed greatly to virtually every 16th Century scriptural translator.
The 16th Century witnessed many new Latin Vulgate translations of the Bible from the original Hebrew and Greek texts. The most popular version was that of Pagnini, whose esteemed translation was first published in 1528. Pagnini's version was highly regarded for its closeness to the original tongues. He was however criticized by reformer Martin Luther, who accused him of excessive literalism and "Jewish scholarship." Pagnini's translation was well received by Jewish scholars, who praised him for producing the only adequate Christian Latinate version of the Bible. Pagnini's version was among the first attempts to print a Bible with standardized verse numbers. Although his numbering system was eventually replaced in favor of one developed by French Bible printer, Robert Estienne, Pagnini's carefully annotated and numbered Bible shows the text's iconography as a progressive scholarly endeavor. The Book of Daniel, written in Hebrew and Aramaic, is a book in both the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the Christian Old Testament. The book is set during the Babylonian Captivity, a period when Jews were deported and exiled to Babylon. The book revolves around the figure of Daniel, an Israelite who becomes an advisor to Nebuchadnezzar, the ruler of Babylon from 605 BC-562 BC. The book has two distinct parts: a series of narratives and four apocalyptic visions. Three of the narratives involve Daniel, who has the gift of prophecy, interpreting the meaning of dreams and divine omens. Two other narratives feature Israelites who have been condemned for their piety being miraculously saved from execution. In the second part of the book, the author reveals and partially interprets a set of visions which are described in the first person. The dating and authorship of Daniel has been a matter of great debate. The traditional view holds that the work was written by a prophet named Daniel who lived during the sixth century BC. Modern views generally regard the book as having been written much later, during the mid second century BC. According to these, the author gave the book the appearance of having been written some 400 years earlier in order to establish credibility by including correct "predictions" of numerous historical events which had occurred during the fifth to second centuries BC. A third view argues that while parts of Daniel were written during the second century BC, other parts may have been written by other authors at an earlier date. The Book of Ezra is a book of the Bible in the Old Testament and Hebrew Tanakh. This book is the record of events occurring at the close of the Babylonian captivity. At one time, it included the book of Nehemiah, the Jews regarding them as one volume. The two are still distinguished in the Vulgate version as I and II Esdras. The Book of Nehemiah is a book of the Hebrew Bible, known to Jews as the Tanach and to Christians as the Old Testament. It is historically regarded as a continuation of the Book of Ezra.
