First published individually between 1662 and 1665, most of these disserations had made a prior appearance in the Fasciculus Dissertationum Philologicarum (Wittenberg, 1665). The German Lutheran theologian, orientalist, and superintendent of Lübeck, August Peiffer (1640-1698) had a stong influence on the thought of Johann Sebastian Bach. The present collection presents a forceful attack against the scriptures of Judaism and Islam. The book contains seven essays: [1] On the Talmud; [2] On the Aramaic translations of the Hebrew Scriptures; [3] on the Masora (medieval Jewish textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible); [4] on the three ancient sects of the Jews (Pharisees; Sadducees; Essenes); [5] On Jewish polemics against the Christians (drawn primarily from Talmudic sources); [6] On the Qur'an; [7]; On the Shia and Sunni sects (De Alishiis et Sunnitis), subtitled On the Main Disagreements between the Persians and the Turks Regarding Religion. These last two essays on the Islamic tradition contain four notable appendices. The first comprises a list of the 114 Suras of the Qur'an, with names transliterated into Hebrew characters and brief descriptions of their contents. The next provides selections from ten of the Suras in Latin translation. The third appendix contains a brief description of the Sahih al-Bukhari, compiled by Imam Muhammad al-Bukhari (d. 256 AH / 870 CE), widely regarded as the most important Hadith scholar in the history of Sunni Islam. Pfeiffer provides a list of the Arabic titles of the 97 books (chapters) in this collection which records the oral tradition of sayings and anecdotes attributed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad or his immediate circle. While strident in tone, the erudition displayed in these dissertations demonstrates the depth of interest on the part of early modern Christian scholars in the polemical activities of their Abrahamic brethren. "Far more important than his polemical and ascetic writings are Pfeiffer's scholarly works on exegesis, criticism, and hermeneutics of the Old Testament. His "Exercitationes biblicae," "Dubia vexata," "Introductio in orientem," "Critica sacra," "Thesaurus hermeneuticus," and "Descriptio rituum antiquorum gentis Ebreae" have been repeatedly published. A complete edition of his scholarly works was published in Utrecht in 1704" (ADB). Provenance: Old stamp of "Melanchthonhaus" at bottom margin of the dedication page. The image on a discrete old stamp at the title suggests this is The Melanchthon House in Bretten, built between the years of 1897 to 1903 on the site of the former birthplace of the reformer, Philip Melanchthon. The home of the European Melanchthon Academy since 2004, museum houses a library of 11,000 works dealing principally with the history of the Protestant Reformation.
