About This Item
Chicago: Spertus College of Judaica Press, 1972. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to 11" - 13" tall. The publisher's dust jacket blurb notes that "The sudden flight of Jews from Yemen to Israel in 1949-50, brought their mainly handwritten books into circulation. Written in Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic, these manuscripts include bibles and commentaries thereon, treatises on law and ritual, homiletical and philosophical texts, liturgy and secular poetry, and historical documents illuminating aspects of the social life of the Yemenite Jewry." Sterling condition hardcover copy, with unbruised tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear; not ex-library, with neither underlining nor highlighting anywhere. Bound handsomely in red cloth, with sharp and distinct lettering to spine. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, showing only very minor wear, protected by a plastic coat, dust jacket not being price-clipped. 34 pp. of text, with notes and bibliography, and then a lengthy section of fine black-and-white plates. The manuscripts emanate from various Yemeni towns and villages. xviii + 117 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
