Pavia Stamperia Bolzani, 1792. 8vo. (8 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches), original blue-gray wrappers. An attractive, tall uncut copy with a minor damp stain to the lower margin of the last few gatherings. Altogether unsophisticated. The engraved title-page features a 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 inch vignette of a right hand holding a partially unrolled Hebrew manuscript against a dark background, signed with the monogram GL (LG?), after a drawing by Correggio. The still visible guide lines for the text of the title suggest that this is a VERY EARLY STATE of the plate. FIRST EDITION of this introduction to a course for learning Hebrew. The author points out many similarities between other Semitic languages, including Arabic and Ethiopian (and of course Hebrew), and gives typographical examples within the text. The central theme of the work contains a translation of the first song of Moses with commentary and annotation. NUC cites three copies. WONDERFUL ETCHED TITLE-PAGE AFTER CORREGGIO
