Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. A commemorative bibliography issued in 1962 to honor Nelson Glueck's fifteenth year as President of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, one of the most influential biblical archaeologists of the 20th century. Includes an introductory tribute from the Board of Governors, a biographical sketch by Dr. Stanley F. Chyet, and the complete annotated listing of Glueck's published scholarship in English and Hebrew from 1920 through the late 1950s. A special laid-in printed card from Sidney Meyers (HUC-JIR Board Chairman) confirms that this copy was distributed as an official presentation volume from the Board of Governors. This example features strong, clean pages, crisp typography, and intact binding. The black cloth boards remain sturdy and bright, with gilt spine and cover titling sharp. Light shelf toning and a faint horizontal fade line to the rear board are present, along with mild offsetting on endpapers consistent with age. Text block is clean, with no writing, marks, or bookplates aside from the original laid-in presentation card. A solid and attractive copy of a scarce institutional publication seldom seen in such condition. This volume is the true first edition, with the copyright page dated 1962 and no subsequent printings indicated, issued by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion and printed by H. Levine & Co. of Philadelphia. It retains the original deep-black cloth binding with bright gilt titling consistent with first-issue production and was published without a dust jacket, as was standard for HUC-JIR commemorative works. The binding is tight and square, and the copy includes the original HUC-JIR presentation card laid in-a desirable piece of provenance that enhances its collectible appeal.…
