Gemul Atalia. Amsterdam, 1770.
Beautiful and complete copy of a poetic play and songs. Significant and rare book by a learned scholar descended from the Marrannos.
The book Gemul Atalia, a poetic play that includes the chronicles of King Yo'ash in poetry, by David Franco Mendez, a Jewish-Dutch poet and playwright from the Portuguese-Spanish community in Amsterdam. The book is presented as an adaptation of two previous books by non-Jewish authors: French Racine and Italian Metastasio. As opposed to these two authors, who invented some of the stories, Mendez stresses that he remained true to the ancient sources.
Amsterdam, 1770.
First edition.
[3], 37, [1] leaves. Very good condition. Thick, quality paper. Beautiful, renewed binding.
