Beschreibung

1896. First edition. iv, 230pp., a frontispiece portrait of Rabbi Jacob Jehuda Leon Templo, 4 other black and white plates and 13 illustrations within the text. The Jewish Historical Society of England is the oldest historical and learned society of its kind and was founded in 1893 by several Anglo-Jewish scholars, including Lucien Wolf, who became the society's first president. The society continues to promote research and education about the history of Judaism and Jewish life in England. The volume for sale contains the transaction of the Society for the session 1894-95 and papers read before the Society at its meetings. These papers include Some Anglo-Jewish Song Writers by F.L. Cohen; Ibn Ezra in England by M. Friedlander; and A Ramble in East Anglia by Hermann Gollancz. The book is bound in the original original card paper covers with black titling on the front board and spine. The cover of the book is in fair to good condition with shelf wear with some soiling and and staining. Small pieces are missing from the corners and edges of the original covers and some of the paper on the spine is missing. It was probably the intention that the volumes should be rebound in hardback form, and the binding is loose with some of the signatures in danger of becoming separated. There is an old ill-fitting plastic cover protecting the book which has led to staining on both sides of the the fore edge of the front and rear cover. The pages are clean with some staining on the endpapers, an signature on the title page and a name, place and date has been written on the back of the front free endpaper.
