Przez 39 lat prowadził katedrę hebraistyki na uniwersytecie w Bazylei. Poświęcił się z niezwykłą gorliwością studiowaniu literatury hebrajskiej i rabinicznej. Przyjął do swego domu wielu uczonych Żydów, w celu omawiania kwestii dotyczących ich prawa ceremonialnego, przez co nadano mu tytuł Mistrza Rabinów".

Hardcover. Condition: g to g+. Second edition. Folio (15 1/2 x 10 1/4"). [12], 2680 columns (1440pp), [64]pp (Index). Modern full brown morocco, with gilt-lettered leather label on spine. Raised bands. Decorative head-, tailpieces and initials. Begun by Johannes Buxtorf in 1609, and completed by his son in 1639, this second edition of "Lexicon chaldaicum, talmudicum et rabbinicum" immediately became a standard reference work for Christian scholars in Jewish studies. (a new but very imperfect edition was published as late as 1866). Because of the time needed to be completed, the "Lexicon chaldaicum, talmudicum et rabbinicum" has often been referred to as the "opus triginta annorum," work of thirty years (1609-1639). Integrating a variety of Roman, Italic, Greek, Hebrew and Gothic typefaces, this lexicon is also an impressive example of 17th century printing. The text, in two columns, is arranged alphabetically according to the Hebrew alphabet, however, the text itself is in Latin. Unfortunately, this work is lacking the engraved frontispiece portrait of Johannes Buxtorf and the additional engraved title. Moderate rubbing along front joint. Gold lettering mostly faded on title label. Modern endpapers and fly leaves. Previous owners' inscriptions pasted on inside of front cover. Lower corner of title page expertly repaired. Most pages foxed / age-toned throughout. Text in Latin with some Hebrew. Binding in overall good+, interior in good to good+ condition. About the author: Johannes Buxtorf (1564-1629) was a celebrated Hebraist, member of a family of Orientalists; professor of Hebrew for thirty-nine years at Basel and was known by the title, "Master of the Rabbis." His massive work, "De Synagoga Judaica" (1st. ed. 1603), scrupulously documents the customs and society of German Jewry in the early modern period. Buxtorf was the father of Johannes Buxtorf the Younger.

Buxtorf (1564-1629), the famed German Hebrew and Rabbinical scholar, and the protege of Grynaeus and Beza, devoted his life to the study of Hebrew and rabbinical literature. The Lexicon Chaldaicum is his most important and far-reaching work, on which he had spent the labor of twenty years. He did not live, however, to see the work in print. His son of the same name (1599-1664), himself a noted theologian and Semitic scholar, spent another ten years of additional study before it was finally published. It is a "monument of untiring labor and industry," and still ranks today as one of the finest works of its kind. Vancil, p. 40; Zaunmüller, p. 37.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First edition. Folio in fours: [asterisk in parens]6, A-8N4, 8O6 (= 708 leaves); [12]pp., 2680 columns (1391-1392 omitted; 1997-1998 repeated), [64 = index and emendanda]pp. Engraved portrait; extra engraved title page. Woodcut printer's device at letterpress title; woodcut head- and tail-pieces, initials; letterpress ornamentation. Contemporary tawed pigskin over wooden boards, elaborately tooled in blind with central cartouches at both covers (portrait of August I at front; Electors of Saxony arms at back), spine with raised bands. Pair of mounted leather straps and brass catches intact, along with a single brass clasp (second clasp replaced with a simple modern brass replica). Edges stained green. Two old cellotape repairs along top edge verso of the portrait (not affecting image). Bottom outer corner section (2 in. by 4 in.) of the main title margin excised and expertly replaced. Faintly toned text, crisp and fine throughout. A very attractive copy in a handsome armorial binding, complete with both the author's portrait and the engraved title. First edition of this lexicon of Aramaic and post-biblical Hebrew, comprising the vocabulary of the Aramaic paraphrases (targum) of the Old Testament, the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmuds, as well as later midrashic and and rabbinic literature, all copiously illustrated with extracts and examples. This present issue is dated M.DC.XXXIX. (1639) at the engraved title, and M.DC. XXXX. (1640) at the main title, the latter likely in error, according to Prijs. The numeral "2" in the 1629 date of death on the portrait is reversed (in some copies it has been erroneously replaced with a "3"). The dedication (Basel, February 1639) is addressed to the Ordines of Groningen and Holland in recognition of the establishment in 1614 of the University of Groningen. Two faculty members, Franciscus Gomarus and Heinrich Alting had specifically requested that Buxtorf publish a dictionary for use in the study of Jewish rabbinic literature. (Prijs) Begun in 1610, the work would occupy the elder Buxtorf for the next twenty years, in the midst of his copious academic schedule and other scholarly projects. "By 1617 he had reached the letter Ayin. Between 1617 and 1619 he worked on the rabbinical Bible and probably had no time to devote to the lexicon. Finally in 1628 he completed the first draft. His manuscript work was in no shape to be published, however" (Burnett). "In the course of the work the material grew more and more, so that after completing the whole thing up to the letter Tav, he had to set about bringing the earlier letters up to date by using other sources" (Prijs). Buxtorf died in 1629 before completing the revisions of the letter Bet. His son, Johann, would complete the revisions and finally publish the lexicon after ten more years of labor. While the younger Buxtorf states in the preface "maneat parenti gloria authoris" (may the glory of the Author remain with the Parent), "in his hands it became almost a new work" (Smitskamp). Burnett notes that "Buxtorf's fame as a lexicographer. was not a result of his work in biblical Hebrew, but in post-biblical Hebrew and talmudic Aramaic." Two centuries later, bibliographers and scholars were still singing the praises of the Lexicon Chaldaicum: "All the Chaldaic, Talmudical, and Rabbincal words which occur in the paraphrases of the Old Testament, in the Babylonish and Jerusalem Targums, in the common or more private writings of the Hebrew commentarors, philosophers, theologians, cabbalists, and lawyers, are fully explained. Numerous extracts, and examples are given; proverbs, apophthegms, opinions, rites, and other things relating to sacred philology and antiquities, are illustrated. All subsequent writers have been greatly indebted to this Lexicon of Buxtorf." (Orme). "The World is more beholden to him for his learned and judicious Labours, than to any other that lived in his time, and his name ought ever to be preserved with Honour in Acknowledgment of it" (Prideaux). Provenance and annotations: Binding embossed at the front cover with the portrait of Augustus I (1526-1586), Elector of Saxony; the Elector's arms appear at the rear cover.

First Edition
Edition : First Edition. , Contemporary pig skin over board, elaborately tooled, spine with 5 raised bands and title on 2. , This is a lexicon of Chaldean, Talmudic and Rabbinical words observing the degree of similarities between the languages. In the lexicon, Johann Buxtorf II or the son describes the work of his late father, Johann Buxtorf I or the elder, based on autographical notes of the father. Many of his letters are preserved at the library of the University of Basle and are an important source for the study of the spiritual conditions of his time. The present work was started by the father and took decades to be completed by the son; and although written in the Latin language, it includes Roman, Chaldean, Greek, Hebrew and Gothic type and the organization of the text is according to the Hebrew alphabet. Regarding the origin of the Chaldeans, opinions are divided: Various sources state the geographic origin of the Chaldeans as unknown; the Bible describes the Chaldeans as a people, and again other sources as a semitic people, who migrated, before or during the 6th century B.C., possibly from the Arabian peninsula, into the Chaldean country - the area of Babylonia or southern Babylonia, the land between the lower parts of the Euphrates and the Tigris, situated in the present-day Iraq. , Size : folio (240x360mm), Frontis portrait of the author, illustrated title, blank, title, poem, dedication (7), observations and comments (3), lexicon paginated according to double columns 2-2680, index with corrections on last page (63). Upper cover stained; some crude 18th century repair to the spine; portrait, illustrated title and title repaired skillfully. Otherwise the text is clean, heavily annotated with contemporary ink on margins.
