Sefer ORCHOT TZADIKIM אורחות צדיקים Ways of the RighteousOrchot Tzaddikim Hebrew: ארחות צדיקים] is a book on Jewish ethics written in Germany in the 15th century, entitled Sefer ha-Middot by the author, but called Orḥot Ẓaddiḳim by a later copyist. Under this title, a Yiddish translation, from which the last chapter and some other passages were omitted, was printed at Isny in 1542, although the Hebrew original did not appear until some years later Prague, 1581]. Subsequently, however, the book was frequently printed in both languages. The author of the work is unknown, although G demann (Gesch. 3. 223) advances the very plausible hypothesis that he was Lipmann M hlhausen.The bookMost of the book is not original writing; it follows the order of The Improvement of the Moral Qualities by Solomon ibn Gabirol, adding paragraphs from many of Maimonides' works, and ideas from the famous ethical writings - Shaarei Tshuva by Rabbenu Yona of Gerona] and Chovot HaLevavot.The Orḥot Ẓaddiḳim, which was designed to be a very popular code of ethics, contains the following maxims among others: It is evil pride to despise others and to regard one's own opinion as the best, since such an attitude bars progress, while egotism increases bitterness toward others and decreases thine own capability of improvement.Be just and modest in association with others, and practice humility even toward the members of the household, toward the poor, and toward dependents. The more property thou hast, the greater should be thy humility and thy honor and beneficence toward mankind.Be kind to thy non-Jewish servants; make not their burdens heavy, nor treat them scornfully with contemptuous words or blows.Forget not the good qualities thou lackest, and note thy faults, but forget the good that thou hast done, and the injuries thou hast received.Abash not him who hath a bodily blemish, or in whose family there is some stain. If one hath done evil and repented, name not his deed in his presence, even in jest, nor refer to a quarrel which has been ended, lest the dead embers be rekindled.The author bitterly attacks the pilpul method of study, reproves his countrymen who engage in this method of Talmud study, and reproaches those who neglect the study of the Bible and of all sciences.

This is the 11th part of the successful series which provides art historians and students with vital primary source materials related to the reception of Japanese arts in Western societies during the period from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Edited and introduced by Ayako Ono, a leading scholar of British Japonisme and the author of Routledge books Japonisme in Britain, Whistler, Menpes, Henry, Hornel and nineteenth-century Japan, and Whistler and Artistic Exchange between Japan and the West: After Japonisme in Britain, the three volumes includes around 150 articles and papers selected from contemporary journals, newspapers and pamphlets from the pre-Japonisme period to the beginning of the 20th century, when the Japan-British Exposition was held in 1910 and the popularity of Japanese art started to diminish. Responding to the recent academic view which treats Japonisme not only in an artistic context but more widely as a cultural trend including literature and religion, the collection includes a number of articles from non-artistic periodicals, and along with the major figures of art critics and collectors of Japanese art such as Alcock, Jarves, Anderson, Huish, Liberty, Bignon, and Frye, more general authors’ writings are selected, including many reviews, commentaries of art exhibitions, papers about various types of Japanese arts, crafts and architecture and international exhibitions in London. With an introduction and forward by Margaret F. Macdonald, this is an indispensable collection of primary materials not only for research into the history of art, but also for research into the Anglo-Japanese cultural relationship of this period.

How to Overcome the Evil of Gambling/Covetousness is a book about being obedient to God's word from the Holy Bible scripture verses teach us about the evil of the love of money. How because of our greediness, we stray from the faith and pierce ourselves with many sorrows. How it's the root of all kinds of evil when we covet money that we have not earned. How God wants us to be a good steward of our money that He has blessed us with, to use for our needs and to give Him glory. It's a book about how we work hard for our money, and it should not be wasted but to use the fruits of our labor we earned for good. To also to be content with what we have and are blessed with.In gambling, this book uses dictionary meaning, which tells us about what covet means: is to have a desire often for another person's possessions. What it tells us in God's word in the Holy Bible scripture verse is not to covet, also how evil company corrupts good habits, how we should resist the devil, and how we can overcome temptation with the help of God.The conclusion is that when we read God's word, it will help us to be blessed by doing what is right, and we can overcome the evil of gambling/covetousness.

It is alleged that creeds tend inevitably to ossification; that the vitality of religions is almost lost itself in their development; that the ornaments of ritual serve only to obscure the Light which they profess to adorn and magnify Nothing, throughout history has been more painfully demonstrated than the barriers to brotherhood built up by religions; a rivalry often more fully emphasized than softened by missionary zeal Yet the Source of Spirituality must be One, even as God is One; and the differing languages and systems by means of which spirituality strives to assert itself, although they go far in the direction of perpetuating division between races and men, they have, after all, One common origin, the Word, lying dim and only partially realizable in the shadow of a time long-ago There are two minds, as it was written about the trees in the Garden of Eden, "The tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the Tree of Life" This Key determined these things specifically by discerning appropriate definitions in order to find out the sum of the whole matter.

The Sepher Yetzirah is one of the main and most important works of Kabbalah. Referenced by other works such as the Bahir, it is broken apart into a series of statements on the Hebrew alphabet and numeric systems. Among other concepts it expounds the concept of creation via the three mothers; Alef, Mem, and Shin, and their relative powers. It is one of the most integral works from which such types of occultism stem.

The third book of the Lemegeton, one of the works compiled into the infamous Keys of Solomon, is the Ars Paulina. As a list of seals combined with astrological lore, it is a bit dense, but easily understood with an astrology guide. As one of the actual, authentic Solomonic works of the same era as the Ars Goetia, it is seldom presented alone despite being its own technically separate occult work.

The Arbatel of Magick is one of a number of early grimoires focusing primarily on white magic and the philosophical side of the occult. Well known despite its relatively short length, it is broken into a series of aphorisms which contain various spiritual knowledge. It treats on various different types of magick, arranged into seven sections.

The Sepher Bahir is one of the foremost works of all mystic Judaism, an important work of Kabbalah in which commentaries on sounds, words, and stories are presented in a somewhat choppy form (for it was a compiled manuscript, not a primordial single work.) The work is ascribed to a mystic rabbi named Nehunya circa the first century. It refers as well to another mystic work- the famous Sepher Yetzirah, equally as renowned for its spiritual lore.

The Black Pullet is a strange work that is at once a grimoire detailing the use of talismans, and a short story regarding a French Napoleonic soldier being saved by a wise old Turkish mage from an angry mob. Written some time in the 18th century, it contains rather elaborate philosophy and is at least partly symbolic; some of the talismans show allusions to other works, notably the Rosary of the Philosophers and the Petit Albert.

This relatively short text of alchemy appears in the form of an elongated question and answer session. First translated into the English language by the famous AE Waite at the dawn of the 20th century, it speaks of topics then long dated; vapor in the earth creating gold, transmutation of metals, the creation of Venus and Saturn. Though short, for this content, it is one of the greater works of alchemy and contains as well admonishments to the reader to read certain other notable works of the same subject, including the Turba Philosophorum.

The name of the glorious virgin and martyr, Saint Philomena, is not as well known to the youth of our country as it should be. From the beginning of the present century, this saint has been singularly honored in Italy as the patroness of youth, and the fruits of this devotion have been truly miraculous. The extraordinary devotion of one of the most celebrated personages of modern times -- the Cure d'Ars -- to this saint, lends a new and holy charm to her name, while its amazing fruits show how powerful she is with God. His biographer tells us that the cure's devotion to this holy virgin and martyr, whom he was accustomed to call his "dear little saint" was almost chivalrous. There was the most touching sympathy between them. "She granted every thing to his prayers; he refused nothing to her love. He set down to her account all the graces and wonders which contributed to the celebrity of the pilgrimage of Ars. It was all her work; he had nothing whatever to do with it." Speaking of this devotion of the cure. Dr. Manning, the present Archbishop of Westminster, says: "Mysterious and wonderful is the sympathy which thrills through the communion of saints, unbroken by distance, undimmed by time, unchilled by death 'The youthful saint' went forth from her mother's arms to die for Christ; the lictor's ax cropped the budding lily, and pious hands gathered up and laid it in the tomb; and so fifteen centuries went by, and none on earth thought upon the virgin martyr who was following the Lamb whithersoever He went, till the time came when the Lord would have her glory to appear; and then He chose a champion for her in the lonely, toilworn priest, to whom He had given a heart as child-like, and a love as heroic as her own; and He gave her to be the helpmate of his labors, and bade her stand by him to shelter his humility behind the brightness of her glory, lest he should be affrighted at the knowledge of his own power with God." We trust this little volume will serve to enkindle a tender devotion to the saint in many a young heart. At the early age of thirteen years, this true heroine trampled all the vanities of the world under her feet, and chose to endure multiplied torments rather than renounce her vow to her crucified Saviour. What a model of constancy and of every virtue does she present to us Let the youthful heart go to her when tried, and with unbounded confidence implore her intercession

A FICTION HOUSE PRESS FIRST EDITION: The Six-Gun Gorilla, named O'Neil, was raised by Bart Masters during the 1800's at a gold-mine in Colorado. Masters taught the gorilla many chores including shoot-ing a six-gun. Masters was killed by the Strawhan Gang and O'Neil was left for dead. When the gorilla regained consciousness and found his master dead, the ape's out-rage at the killing was intense and he swore he would kill the men who killed his owner.
