1880 HEBREW LAW Shulchan Aruch Yore De'ah Vilnius Lithuania Russia HUGE 3v SET
The Shulchan Aruch, also known as the 'Code of Jewish Law', is an extensive collection of legal codes under Rabbinical Judaism. From its appearance in the mid-16th-century, this work is regularly paired with law commentaries, as is the case with this 1880 edition. The Yoreh De'ah is also found in this work, a section of the law covering lesser aspects of Jewish law such as honoring parents, circumcision, forbidden foods, and studying Torah scrolls.
This particular enormous three-volume set was published in 1880 in Vilnius, Lithuania while it was under Russian control. Census records indicate that the Jewish population approached nearly half of the population in Vilnius at the time of publication. It would be expected that Hebrew law texts such as this be found in Vilnius during the 1880s and 1890s.

"Honest and reliable service - every book hand-packaged with care."
This remarkable and groundbreaking study explores the author's view that there is a close correspondence between the basic tenets of alchemy and those of Jewish esoteric tradition, generally known as Kabbalah.
The author, Arturo Schwarz, points out that both alchemy and Kabbalah are frequently distorted in popular as well as scholarly literature. The real concern of alchemy is not to transmute lead into gold, but rather, through the investigation of the self, to evolve from the state of ignorance (symbolized by lead) to that of awareness (symbolized by gold). As Schwarz points out, "this drive toward self-awareness is also basic in the teachings of the major kabbalists."
Schwarz goes on to explain that in both systems… Read More

1655 Jewish HEBREW LAW 1ed Leges 261 Aaron ha-Levi Sefer ha Chinuch + Aramaic

Johann Hottinger's "Juris Hebraorum Leges" is a rare 17th-century commentary on Hebrew Law. In the 13th-century, Spanish rabbi Aaron ha-Levi wrote what is considered to be the first written instruction to medieval Jews, the 'Sefer ha Chinuch'. Aaron ha-Levi wrote on moral precepts and biblical law – a tradition which was used in the Hebrew world for centuries. Hottinger used Aaron's lessons as the basis for this work, a work which covers countless topics of Hebrew and Jewish law, including commentary on the 613 commandments and 261 precepts examined in Aaron's "Sefer ha Chinuch".

1733 HEBREW Talmud 1ed Schottgen New Testament BIBLE Messianic Judaica RARE

Christian Schottgen was an early 18th-century German Bible historian best-known for his 'Hebrew Hours and Talmud in the New Testament' – a commentary on the New Testament written through the lens of the Talmud. In the mid-17th-century, English rabbi John Lightfoot wrote a similarly titled work which became the basis for Schottgen's most important work. First published in 1733, this work became one of the most important religious texts for Messianic Jews in Europe.

I was fascinated that the majority of their diet is bones, and they wait for other scavengers to finish before they swoop in. In captivity their body feathers remain white.
