Description
London: J. Johnson, 1786. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Recent full period calf (5" x 8") with marbled endpapers and likely original gilt-lettered burgundy morocco spine label; vii, [i], 334 pages with page 48 misnumbered "84" and with errata leaf and final blank (often missing). Contrary to Beckford's wishes this edition of his influential Gothic novel, originally written in French and translated and edited by his friend Rev. Samuel Henley, preceded the first French edition which was published in December 1786. The title character is a power-hungry Caliph who conspires with his occult-leaning mother to master the evil forces of hell. The book influenced many writers including Byron, Poe, Lovecraft, and H. G. Wells. Armorial bookplate of British botanist R. C. A. Prior on front pastedown and poet Witter Bynner on front endpaper.

Description
Lancaster: Labyrinthos, 2004. First edition. Softcover. vg. Quarto. [8], 380 pp. Original illustrated wraps. Photographic frontispiece of Henry J. Leir. Eighth volume in the "Henry J. Leir Library of Sephardica: Text and Studies" series. Fascinating work published in 2004 on the eve of commemorating the 800th anniversary of Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon's death and presenting the English version of a volume of folktales about Maimonides which has been published in Spanish by Tamar Alexander and Elene Romero in 1985 on the occasion of the 850th anniversary of his birth in Cordoba. Accompanied by a foreword by Moshe Lazar. This work is profusely illustrated with numerous b/w photographic reproductions of documents. Book in fine condition. R. Moses Maimonides (Rambam) was a 12th century Jewish philosopher and halachic legal scholar. A highly controversial figure, both during his lifetime and after his death, but generally acknowledged as the preeminent Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages. He was born in Córdoba, Spain but fled as a child due to Almohad persecution of Jews. He eventually settled in Egypt where he served as a rabbi, physician and philosopher. His fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah, his only work not in Arabic, still carries canonical authority, particularly within the Yemenite Jewish community, as the codification of Talmudic law. His other work includes a commentary on the Mishnah entitled Kitab al-Siraj, Kitab al-Fara'I, a book on precepts, and the philosophical work Dalalat al-Ha'irin, known in Hebrew as the Moreh Nevukhim, The Guide to the Perplexed. The major premise is an attempted philosophical/theological reconciliation of the Hebrew Bible and Greek knowledge and explaining away anthropomorphic and antropopathic terms in the Bible. This work came to play a central role in all subsequent major controversies over philosophy within the Jewish community during the Middle Ages.
