First edition of one of the most important and controversial works of seventeenth-century Hebraic scholarship, published anonymously with an introduction by the celebrated arabist Thomas Erpenius. ?In the second and third quarter of the 17th century the attitude which an orientalist took towards the antiquity of the [Massoretic] vocalisation signs was to become a touchstone of his attitude towards the more strictly dogmatic opinions? (Van Rooden). The clarity and force of this seminal piece of scholarship is perhaps best described by William Orme, in his 1824 Bibliotheca Biblica: ?This celebrated work, which first attacked the authority of the Masoretic points, stated all the arguments against them so fully and clearly, that it exhausted the subject at the first onset.? Here published anonymously, the Arcanum was reprinted in Cappel?s 1689 Commentarii et notae criticae in Vetus Testamentum (Commentaries and Critical Notes on the Old Testament). Van Rooden states that the Hebraist Wilhelm Schickhard (in the minutiae of an errata note in his 1625 Ius regium Hebraeorum) was the first to reveal Cappel?s identity as the author of the Arcanum. The work concludes with a reprint of Cappel?s 1614 "Oratio de ss. Dei nomine Tetragrammato YHVH ac genuina ejus pronuntiatione" (Oration on the Correct Pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton). The oration was reprinted in a 1707 compilation edited by Adriaan Reland, Decas exercitationum philologicarum de vera pronuntiatione nominis Jehova, comprising ten dissertations on the same topic, written by eight scholars in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Fifth, enlarged edition of the groundbreaking introduction to the Arabic language by Thomas Erpenius (1584-1624), the first professor of Arabic at Leiden University. He printed and published the first edition himself in 1620, one of the earliest major works using the Arabic types cut for his new oriental printing office by Arent Corsz. Hoogenacker in 1615. The Elzevirs acquired Erpenius's materials and many of his workmen after his premature death from the plague and printed and published the second edition in 1628. Vitray's third edition (Paris, 1638) is based on the second. These were all in 8vo format with about 250 pages. Albert Schultens (1686-1750), appointed professor of oriental languages at Leiden in 1732, prepared a greatly enlarged 4th edition in 1733, now in 4to format and more than three times as long. The additions included his own Clavis dialectorum, discussing the relations between Hebrew and Arabic words, and the Nawabig 'ul-kalim, a collection of proverbs compiled by the linguist Mahmud ibn Umar al-Zamabshari (1075-1144 CE; AH 467-538) in what became Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. The present 5th edition expands it still further, especially the indexes (the Arabic index filling 142 pages).With a contemporary bibliographical note on a front free endleaf and a manuscript owner's name "Fuchs" on the paste-down.

The rare second, corrected edition of Erpenius's influential Arabic grammar, which remained popular until well into the 19th century. Erpenius, one of the most distinguished orientalists of his day, published his famous Grammatica Arabica in 1613, followed in 1620 by the Rudimenta linguae Arabicae, a slightly abridged version of the Grammatica. It is dedicated to the Maronites Johannes Hesronita and Gabriel Sionita, the latter of whom would later edit the 1638-edition of the Rudimenta. It includes the Arabic text with Latin transcriptions of chapter 64 of the Quran.Annotation on title-page: "Collegii Remensis / Societatis Jesu / Catalogo Inscriptur".
