About this Item

In Arabic. Based on Reckendorf's 1856 work in German, "Geheimnisse der Juden." Translated from the Hebrew into Arabic. Paper is fragile and waterstained. Seven title pages. RECKENDORF, HERMANN SOLOMON (1863-1923),was a German Orientalist. Reckendorf's father, also named HERMANN (?ayyim ?evi; 1825-1875), taught Semitic languages at Heidelberg University, and wrote Hebrew translation of the Koran (1857). Inspired by E. Sue's Les Mystères de Paris, he also wrote Die Geheimnisse der Juden (5 vols., 1856-5187), a fictionalized recounting of Jewish history. Several Hebrew versions of this work were published; the one by A.S. Friedberg (Zikhronot le-Veit David, 1893-1900) is still popular with Israel youth. Hermann Solomon Reckendorf studied Semitics under T. Noeldeke and at the Berlin rabbinical seminary, but later abandoned Orthodoxy. Reckendorf became professor at Freiburg University, specializing in Arabic syntax. Seller Inventory # 016510
