New York: Hermon Press, 1968. Second edition. Hardcover. Octavo. xii, 210, (3) 425 (1)pp. Original blue cloth with gilt lettering and ruling on spines, in original dustjackets with black lettering on spines. 1. The Geonim and Their Halakic Writings, and 2. Ginezah Studies. "The centuries between the final redaction of the Talmud and the beginning of Jewish culture in the West is one of the most obscure periods in the history of the Jews of post-Biblical times. If we regard the literary productiveness of a people as the only standard by which to measure its culture, then we must confess that this was a period of decline; the Geonic epoch has not brought forth one monumental work. Yet, a period which has produced such powerful religious movements as Karaism and mysticism, and has for the first time made a serious attempt to harmonize Hellenism with Talmudic Judaism cannot be considered as stagnant." (Preface). Dustjackets with light sunning along edges, spines sunned and light wear along top edges, small chips, closed tears and subsequent light creasing; rubbed. Bindings with minor wear along edges. Dustjackets in overall good-, binding and interior in very good condition. g- to vg. Item #46047
