Description
Seattle, WA: Mill Mountain Press, 1971. First edition. Near Fine. Slim octavo in violet wrappers, with titling and illustrations offset printed in black and pink. Collating 56, [1]pp; with illustrated title page following an illustrated portrait of the author. Inscribed by publisher Irving Broughton on the front endpaper to poet Richard Eberhart and his wife: "Dick + Betty, A first book for first people / All wishes, Irv Broughton / May 28, 1972." Gentle sunning to spine and extremities, text edges slightly dusty. Near Fine. The noted experimental poet's first book, involving strange tall tales and recurring characters, rivers, and a constant focus on death. Broughton, publisher of Mill Mountain Press, met Stanford in June, 1970, at the Hollins Conference on Creative Writing and Cinema, where he read Stanford's work and agreed to publish his first book. The two spent much of 1972 traveling through the South and New England, where together they interviewed and filmed Malcolm Cowley, John Crowe Ransom, and Richard Eberhart, who offered them his cottage on Cape Rosier. The present copy was inscribed during this brief period, where the group spent time filming and touring the coast together on Eberhart's yacht. An important debut, and a tremendous association. Near Fine.

Description
Leiden: Brill, 2012. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. Octavo. [English text] xviii, 283pp. Index and 26 page bibliography. [Hebrew text] xiii, (1), 279pp. Green buckram lettered in white with red band near top of spine. A fine, as new copy. This is a serious academic work which will find its place in research collections supporting biblical and Judaica scholarship." Randall C. Belinfante, American Sephardi Federation This volume contains a critical edition of the Arabic translation and commentary on the Abraham narratives in the Book of Genesis (chs. 11-25) by the most prominent and prolific commentator of the Karaite “Golden Age,” Yefet ben ʻEli ha-Levi (10-11 C.E.). Yefet’s interpretation of the Abraham cycle establishes him as a highly original commentator and provides new insights into the history of exegesis of the book of Genesis. The edition is preceded by a comprehensive study of Yefet’s hermeneutic approach in comparison to that of other medieval commentators. Among the subjects discussed are Yefet’s view on the authorship of the Torah, his translation technique, literary aspects of his exegesis, and polemical overtones discernible in his commentary on Genesis. The study also includes a comprehensive survey of earlier commentaries on this book by other Karaite writers both prior to and contemporary with Yefet. (Publisher) Contents: Yefet and his times -- Who wrote the Torah? Yefet's view on the authorship of the Pentateuch -- In quest of truth: Yefet's hermeneutic concepts -- Between the holy text and Its unholy context: polemical overtones in Yefet's commentary on Genesis -- Scripture as the supreme composition: literary aspects of Yefet's exegesis of Genesis -- The limits of literalism: Yefet's approach to Bible translation -- Description of manuscripts employed for the present edition -- Editing of the manuscripts -- Signs and abbreviations employed in the critical edition -- Edition. (OCLC) Volume 46 in the Brill series "Etudes sur la Judaisme Medieval." (EJM) and also Volume 4 of "Karaite Texts and Studies.
