Description
RARE translation of and a comprehensive introduction to `The Book of Lamentations` by Salvatore Minocchi (1869-1943), an eminent biblical scholar and a pioneer of Catholic modernism. Minocchi was the editor of a periodical of historical-critical exegesis `Studi religiosi` (1901-1908), and in 1908 he broke with the Roman Church, whose dogma he believed to be at odds with science. `The Book of Lamentations` (Hebrew: Megilat Eikhah) is a collection of poetic laments for the destruction of Jerusalem from the Old Testament, where it appears in the Ketuvim (`Writings`), beside the Song of Songs, Book of Ruth, Ecclesiastes and the Book of Esther (the Megilloth or "Five Scrolls"); in the Christian Old Testament it follows the Book of Jeremiah, as the prophet Jeremiah is its traditional author. 145x95mm. XVI+125 pages. Softcover rebound with cardboard and blue cloth spine. Original cover in-bound. Cover corners and edges slightly bumped. Correction pen inscription and tape residues on spine bottom edge. Ex-libris sticker on front inner cover. Original front cover corners, rear cover bottom corner and edges chipped and worn. Stamp on pre-title page. Transparent tape on original cover and near binding. Pen inscription on original front cover upper edge. Stamp on pre-title page. Original front cover and pre-title page wrinkled. Some pages slightly dog-eared. Pages yellowing, age-stained and rough-cut as published. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare translation and introduction to one of the most beautiful poetic books of the Bible by an influential representative of Italian modernism is otherwise in good condition.
