Description

Three independent works by Christian-Hebraists. The first title, Liber Talmudicus de Jejunio (Versio Latina Tract. Mischnici Taanit) is an annotated Latin edition of Mishnah Ta’anit by Hermann von der Hardt. It begins with the text of the Mishnah in rabbinic letters, followed by the Latin text with occasional Hebrew. Hermann von der Hardt (1660-1746) was a German Protestant theologian and philologist; born at Melle, Westphalia, Nov. 15, 1660; died Feb. 28, 1746. He studied at Osnabrück, Jena, and Hamburg, and became professor of Oriental languages at the University of Helmstädt (1690). He was a prolific author. Among his works dealing with Hebrew literature are: "Dissertatio de Fructu, Quem ex Librorum Judaicorum Lectione Percipiunt Christiani" (Jena, 1683); "De Accentuatione Hebræorum" (Leipsic, 1692); "Programma Quo ad Philologicam Hoseæ et Commentatorum Rabbinicorum Publicam Enarrationem," etc. (Helmstädt, 1704); "Ænigmata Judæorum Religiosissima" (ib. 1705); "Programma in Aben Esram Publice Recensendum, Jeremia Recensito et Jobo Exspectato" (ib. 1712); "Programma in Rashium, Publice Recensendum" (ib. n.d.); "Hoseas Historiæ et Antiquitati Redditus" (ib. n.d.); "Versio Latina Tract. Mischnici Taanit" (ib. 1712); "Commentarius in Pirke Abot" (ib. 1728).

The second work is Disquition Philologicarum by Meinoldi Boesekin. This work, on Genesis 3:15, contains occasional Hebrew and larger amounts of Greek. The final title is Adolescentai Reipublicae Israelitarum by Gustavi Georgii Zeltneri (Zeltner, (1672-1738; Altdorf). Among Zeltneri’s other titles are Historia crypto-socinismi (Altorfinae, 1729), and Kurtz-gefasste Historie der gedruckten Bibel-Version und anderer Schriften (Nürnberg und Altdorff, 1727)
