Description
New York: Doubleday & Co., 1977 First edition, first printing. Publisher's black cloth-backed gold paper-covered boards, with spine lettered in gilt; in its original white pictorial dust jacket, with a wraparound illustration of the Torrance family and the Overlook Hotel, lettered in green, gray, and yellow. Very good book, with some rubbing to spine ends and spine gilt, light staining to rear board and top and bottom edges of text block, and a small area of staining to p. 281; very good unclipped dust jacket, with light toning to spine, light wear to spine ends with very shallow chipping to foot of spine, minimal staining, soiling, and scratching to panels, and light edgewear. Overall, a pleasing copy of this masterpiece of psychological horror. The Shining tells the story of Jack Torrance, a struggling writer and recovering alcoholic, who relocates with his wife, Wendy, and five-year-old son, Danny, to the enormous Overlook Hotel in the Colorado mountains after accepting a job as the hotel's caretaker for the winter offseason. The hotel begins to exert a supernatural influence on Jack, and he descends into madness, terrorizing Wendy and Danny. Meanwhile, Danny has a psychic gift called "the shining," which allows him to glimpse the true, horrific nature of the hotel. The book was King's third published novel, and his first bestseller. In 1980, it was adapted by Stanley Kubrick into what is generally considered one of the greatest horror films of all time, starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, and Danny Lloyd. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.

Description
Leiden: Brill, 2018. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine -. Octavo. x, 311, (1)pp. Indices and 38 page bibliography. Text in English with some Latin, Greek, Syriac and Hebrew. Blue cloth lettered in gilt. Top fore-corner of front cover slightly bumped. An ex-library copy but with minimal markings (i.e. rubber stamps on title page & bottom of text block) otherwise near fine. In Scribal Culture in Ben Sira Lindsey A. Askin examines scribal culture as a framework for analysing features of textual referencing throughout the Book of Ben Sira (c.198-175 BCE), revealing new insights into how Ben Sira wrote his book of wisdom. Although the title of “scribe” is regularly applied to Ben Sira, this designation presents certain interpretive challenges. Through comparative analysis, Askin contextualizes the sage’s compositional style across historical, literary, and socio-cultural spheres of operation. New light is shed on Ben Sira’s text and early Jewish textual reuse. Drawing upon physical and material evidence of reading and writing, Askin reveals the dexterity and complexity of Ben Sira’s sustained textual reuse. Ben Sira’s achievement thus demonstrates exemplary, “excellent” writing to a receptive audience. (Publisher) Contents: 1. Tools and techniques of scribal culture: materiality and physicality of reading and writing -- 2. Noah and Phinehas: originality and textual reuse -- 3. Hezekiah-Isaiah and Josiah: multiple source handling and harmonization -- 4. On weather: nature-lists and Ben Sira's use of Psalms and Job -- 5. Death and the body: echoes of Job, Qohelet, and ancient perspectives -- 6. The physician and piety: textual reuse and perspectives on medicine. (OCLC) Volume 184 of the Brill series, "Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism." (Sjsj).
