Judaica
Geschichtswissenschaften – Erste Ausgabe der Übersetzung Gillets in 4 dekorativen Ganzlederbänden. - Im Kontext der Aufklärung des 18. Jahrhunderts hat diese Übersetzung eine besondere Bedeutung, da Gillet den Text direkt aus dem griechischen Urtext übesetzte und nicht die lateinischen Übersetzungen der Spätantike benutzte. Ebenso wertvoll sind seine umfangreichen kritischen und historischen Anmerkungen. Das Werk steht damit exemplarisch für das Bestreben des 18. Jahrhunderts, antike jüdische und frühchristliche Quellen philologisch exakt zu erforschen und zugänglich zu machen. - Exlibris auf Innendeckel, kleiner Stempel auf Titeln, Bd. 4 anfangs mit kleiner Wurmspur im Außenrand.
History – First edition of Gillet's translation in 4 decorative full-leather volumes. - In the context of the 18th-century Enlightenment, this translation holds special significance, as Gillet translated the text directly from the original Greek rather than using the Latin translations of late antiquity. Equally valuable are his extensive critical and historical notes. The work thus exemplifies the 18th-century endeavor to philologically and precisely study ancient Jewish and early Christian sources and make them accessible. Contemporary leather binding with rich embossing and title labels (Vol. 1: joints slightly cracked, Vol. 3: slightly stained, Vol. 4: minor damage on the front cover). - Bookplate on the inside cover, small stamp on the title pages, vol. 4 has a small wormhole at the beginning along the outer margin.
