Seven original caricatures by Dosh (Kariel Gardosh). [Israel, ca. 1950s-1960s].
Felt-tip pen, ink and correction fluid on paper.
Dosh is the pseudonym of Karl (Kariel) Gardosh (1921-2000). He was born in Budapest; after finishing high school in Budapest, he studied at the University of Szeged. With the outbreak of WWII, he was sent to a forced labor camp. Upon his return to Budapest after the war, he discovered that his parents and most of his family had perished in the Holocaust. In early 1946, he left Hungary and moved to Paris where he studied comparative literature at the Sorbonne. In 1948, Gardosh immigrated to Israel, changed his name to Kariel, joined the Lechi and found work drawing caricatures for its journal, HaMa'as. Gardosh was arrested following the murder of Folke Bernadotte, and after his release, he worked as the graphic editor of the magazine HaOlam HaZe. In 1953 he joined Maariv, where he published a daily caricature for many years. Gradually he started writing articles, stories and skits for the newspaper. He also wrote for the Hungarian-language newspaper Új Kelet (The New East). In 1956, Dosh first created the figure of Israelik, who became a popular symbol of the State of Israel and its people. Later, the name Israelik was shortened to Srulik (see item 262).
Most of these caricatures feature Srulik, representing the State of Israel, and deal with the military conflicts with Egypt, Israel's inner politics, Israel's relations with other countries and the Six-Day War. Some of them were captioned by Dosh or bear printing instructions in pencil and in pen.
Approx. 18X22 cm to 19.5X32.5 cm. Good condition. Yellowing paper. Stains. Creases. Fold lines. Minor closed and open tears, some restored, mostly not affecting the caricatures. Large open tears at the edges of two leaves, not affecting the caricatures. Torn filing holes. Crayon scribble on one of the leaves.
Provenance: The Rimon Family Collection.

Tractatus Theologico-Politicus [A Theological-Political Treatise], by Baruch Spinoza. Hamburg: Henricum Künrath, 1670 [Amsterdam: Jan Rieuwertsz, after 1677]. Latin and some Hebrew. Fifth edition.
Fifth edition of the book "A Theological-Political Treatise" by Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677). In the book, which was first printed in 1670, Spinoza lays the foundations for modern Bible criticism and describes the principles of his outlook on the connection between freedom of philosophical thought and the belief in religion and the State's authority. Due to its controversial content and it undermining contemporary religious and political norms, Spinoza preferred to publish it anonymously and even used a fictitious imprint. In 1674 the book was banned in Holland.
Several different editions of "A Theological-Political Treatise" printed with the fictitious imprint of Henricum Künrath are known of. Since the editions differ from each other only by slight typographical variations, for a long time they were all considered the first edition. Before us is the fifth edition printed, presumably, after 1677. See: The Early Editions of Spinoza's Tractatus Theologico-politicus, a Bibliohistorical Reexamination by Fritz Bamberger (Cincinnati, Ohio, 1961; enclosed).
[12], 233 pp, 19.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Ink notation on the upper part of the title page. Bookplates on the inside front binding and front flyleaf. Pen inscriptions on the front endpaper. Bound in a leather binding with later spine (two strips of tape along inside hinges). Blemishes and rubbing to binding.

Gespräch in dem Reiche der Todten über die Bibel und Talmud zwischen Dr. Luther und Raschi [A Discussion in the Kingdom of the Dead about the Bible and the Talmud between Dr. Luther and Rashi], by Philipp Ernst Christfels. Schwabach: Johann Jacob Enderes, 1737. German and some Hebrew. Parts 1-2 (of 4).
A composition describing an imaginary dispute between Rashi and Martin Luther, meant to illustrate the superiority of Christianity over Judaism and refute the rabbinical interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. The engraving facing the title page depicts Rashi and Martin Luther arguing against the background of a full bookcase.
The author, Philipp Ernst Christfels (1671-1759), was born as Mordechai ben Moshe Shemaya to a Jewish family in the city of Neuhaus (Bavaria). In his youth he was sent to study at the yeshiva of Rabbi Avraham Broda (1650-1717) and after graduating, moved to Fürth and married the daughter of a Jewish inn owner. In Fürth he became the disciple of Avraham Rovigo (one of the leading Italian kabbalists in the 17th century), and at the same time, became acquainted with Christian clerics. In 1701, he decided to convert to Christianity, divorced his wife and was baptized. He published several theological compositions defaming Judaism.
[1] engraving, 14, 80 pp. 21.5 cm. Good condition. Minor stains. Worming throughout the book. Stamp on verso of the engraving (faded). New binding (with new endpapers).
