Description from the seller
Sefer Ḥinnukh Beḥire Yah ('Catechism for the Chosen of God') is a Hebrew translation of John Calvin's catechism, prepared by the eminent Hebraist Immanuel Tremellius.
Published in London in 1820 by A. Macintosh, it constitutes a rare testament to the reception of Reformation thought within the Hebrew-speaking community. The Hebrew text is preceded by a Latin preface, emphasizing its academic and confessional character.
The volume's page count is 120 pages, in 12mo format (173 × 103 mm).
The specimen preserved in a contemporary half-leather binding with corner protectors.
A smooth, blind, typical for utilitarian prints of the first half of the 19th century.
The fixture shows signs of natural wear appropriate to its age.
Clear Hebrew print, consistent book block.
A publication important for research on the history of Hebrew studies and Calvinism.
Very rare specimen.
