Lot 2 Holy Books: Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim, "Koren" Publishing, Jerusalem, 1963, 1st edition + Five Books of Moses, Koren Publishing, 1959
Lot 2 Holy Books, includes:1. Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim, "Koren" Publishing, Jerusalem, 1963, first edition. Printed in large format and on refined paper, and given as a gift to a public representor. Koren worked hard on a pleasant-looking letter design, bright and easy to read, on ordinating the text and proof-reading the Bible with absolute scrutiny, a task he cast on the researchers Avraham Meir haberman, Daniel Golsdmith and Meir Madan. The text was arranged in order by the tradition, with the Christian tradition's chapter division noted on the side. With the appearance of the Bible David Ben Gurion has declared: "A shame has been removed from Israel, for this is indeed the first and foremost of all (Jewish) Bible books, which appeared in the last 400 years".In a glamorous carton cover coated in dark blue velvet. 35X23 cm. In very good condition: abrasion and reasonable wear and tear to the carton cover.2. Five Books of Moses Volume, "Koren" publishing, 1959. 34.5X22.5 cm. In original carton packaging. In very good condition, few stains on the pages trimming.Eliyahu Koren (1907-2001) Typograph and graphic deigner, born in Nuremberg and studied at its arts academy, migrated to Israel in 1933. Started his occupation with designing the "Koren" letter and printing the Bible when J.L. Magnes, then Hebrew University in Jerusalem president, wanted to publish a Bible that is completely "Jewish" - in terms of letter and design, editing, print and cover. The letter Eliyahu Koren designed, which was based on the letters of the handwriting "Keter Aram Tzova", won the competition, and indeed in the year 1946 the university publishing printed the book of Jonah in this letter. After Magnes passed away in 1951 the plan to reprint the Bible was cancelled and Koren moved on to establishing his life's work: a book publishing house that will release his Bible.
