Description from the seller
Jewish work – Christian Gerson – Der Juden Thalmud – Gera, 1613 – Blind-stamped binding dated 1614
Rare polemical work from the early 17th century devoted to the Talmud, by Christian Gerson (1567–1622), German theologian of Jewish origin who converted to Christianity.
Published in Gera in 1613, the work bears the German title Der Juden Thalmud, fürnemster Inhalt und Widerlegung, in zwey Bücher verfasset (“The Talmud of the Jews, its principal content and refutation, composed in two books”).
The copy retains its old, leather binding stamped in blind, particularly decorative, adorned on the boards with rich figurative designs and ornamental borders.
The binding bears the initials “IKTU” and the date 1614, very close to the printing date and probably corresponding to its first binding.
Printed in Gothic type, with titles and passages printed in red and black.
The work includes several typographical elements and engravings, including an interesting woodcut depicting a scholar working before scientific and astronomical instruments.
The work also features several old manuscript annotations, ownership marks and ex-libris seals, bearing witness to its history and successive provenance.
Edges formerly tinted, now heavily patinated.
Approximately 454 pages.
Dimensions: 16.3 × 10.5 × 6 cm.
Gera, 1613. Binding dated 1614.
Old condition in keeping with the age of the work. Signs of use and aging: wear and cracking of the binding, rubbing and small losses, headcaps and corners worn, weaknesses at the inner hinge.
Presence of ancient handwritten annotations and seals. The whole retains a strong original character and a remarkable historical patina.
The photos are an integral part of the object's description and complement the presentation. They allow you to assess its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.
This item will be shipped with the utmost care, with tracking and well protected.
Happy bidding!
