Description
COMPLETE FOUR VOLUME SET. RARE FACSIMILE EDITION of a comprehensive lexicon of plant names found in Jewish sources from the Bible to Mishnah and other rabbinical sources. The author - Immanuel Löw (1854-1944) was an influential Hungarian rabbi, scholar and politician, who systematically explored the basics of plant terminology in different periods of the Hebrew and Aramaic languages, dominated the latest scientific methods in this field, made himself familiar with literary sources of plant names, and made careful use of manuscript material. With the help of Semitic languages, especially Syriac, he clarified many etymologies. He had great influence on future scholars, particularly Yehuda Feliks, who considered him one of the greatest scholars of Jewish botany. [ALL VOLUMES]: 230x160mm. [XIV+807] + [XII+532] + [XI+522] + [XV+740] pages. Hardcover. Cover curved and wrinkled. Spine edges slightly bumped/wrinkled. Text block edges slightly age-stained/dirty. Inner cover age-stained.
