Lisbon: Francisco Borges de Sousa, 1758. Wrappers.. "A Franciscan account of the purported Greek Orthodox takeover of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem as a result of the Ottoman Status Quo law in 1757, and of their disregard of Catholic rights there and in other holy places in Palestine" (Newberry Library Catalog). Fr. Domingos de Veneza, a Venetian and Custodian of the Holy Land, travelling to Jerusalem with 60 friars and many pilgrims at Easter, vehemently asserted that he was ill-treated by the Greeks, that the Pilgrims had been harried, and that precious objects had been stolen from the Holy Places. Innocencio II, 14. Civezza 505. Not in COPAC.

COLLECTIBLE! An amazingly well preserved almost as new 409 page rare hardback! This monumental volume was first published in Hebrew in Jerusalem in 1951 & this first English edition was published in 1967. Online comments: "The last of the commentaries rendered into English, this Cassuto's work ranks among the finest modern contributions to the treasury of Biblical learning." 'Umberto Cassuto's comments have a vivid quality seldom found in the exegetical writings of other Biblical expositors, who all too often prefer a jejune and lifeless approach to their subject, however he succeeds in injecting a sense of dramatic excitement into his interpretations. Without neglecting the scientific data provided by archaeological and philological research, he makes us conscious of the literary attributes of the Bible. This present work does not separate the annotations from the Biblical text, but forms a continuous, unified commentary in which the Scriptural citations are interlinked with the exposition.'… Read More
