Otzar Lashon HaKodesh. Leipzig, 1840. Impressive Volume

Otzar Lashon HaKodesh. Concordance on the Torah, Prophets and Writings by Yosef ben Yaakov Alsari, "Julius Fuerst." Leipzig, 1840. Impressive volume.

Specifications: XII, 1428 pages, 35 cm. Hebrew title page and Latin title page. Quality paper.

Monumental work by linguist and researcher of Hebrew and Aramaic and the connection between Hebrew and ancient languages. The first work of its kind, authored by a Jewish researcher. The author, Yosef ben Yaakov Alsari, was born in [1805] in Poland to a Torah scholar who was the community preacher. He moved to Berlin, where he studied the Hebrew language and other subjects related to Jewish history. He published extensively. He was a professor of Hebrew and Semitic languages at the University of Leipzig. His name among researchers was "Julius Fuerst." This work was the first of its kind in the world of scientific research and is uncommonly rare. There are other known linguistic studies such as the one by Mandelkorn, however this work that preceded them all, is unknown. It seems that only a few copies were printed of this giant work. This is the only complete edition. [It was reprinted in the 20th century, without all the supplements contained in this edition.]

Condition: Very fine. Original half-leather binding.
