Note: Three works by the noted Dutch Hebraist and orientalist Adrian Reland (1676-1718) who succeeded to the chair of oriental languages at Utrecht in 1699. The first is an early study on the objects depicted in the Arch of Titus, in particular the Menorah; the second on Jewish coinage particularly those with Samaritan inscriptions, and the third is the first edition of Al-Zarnudji's popular Ta'lim al-muta'allim tariq al-ta'allum, an instruction for the sudent in the method of learning, composed originally c. 1200. The Arabic text was edited by F. Rostgaard from a version prepared by the orientalist Salamon Negri from a manuscript in the Bibliotheque Royale. The text is printed in unvocalised types with a Latin version opposite prepared by Rostgaard under the guidance of the Maronite scholar Josephus Banesis. The varying version of Abraham Ecchelensis is also included. Reland's two main works, the Antiqutiates sacrae veterum Hebraeorum and Palesrina ex monumentis veteribus illustrata long remained standard works on their subject.
