Although David has been my long time buying agent for Brazilian stones this book helped me make even more money from the gem business."--Richard Wise, G.G., jeweler and author of "Secrets of the Gem Trade" "I wouldn't have known how to locate or even define my market without this book and Mr. Epstein's help. I entered the business with no friends or relatives in the trade. There was no one to help." -Gerard Walsh, F.G.A.A., Sydney, Australia "Whether you are a jeweler, experienced gem merchant or a beginner, this book shows you how to avoid serious pitfalls and how to be successful buying and sell¬ing gems."-Bryan Pavlik, Ambassador to Austriafrom the International Colored Stone Association "I had taken a gemological course in Antwerp but knew nothing about how gems were bought and sold. There is no doubt that David Epstein and his book "The Gem Merchant" made the difference."--Marco Minafra, Catania, Italy "When I started as a gem merchant I had success, but not enough to do it full time.

The Gospel According to Matthew By: Arge J. Brockles Based on nothing more than a long-held tradition, the four Gospels of the Bible have been taught as being New Testament documents, written for the Church. However, that is a false presumption. The four Gospels are Old Testament books, giving the factual historical record of more than three hundred prophecies, from Genesis to Malachi, of the coming of Israel’s Messiah King. They are four thematic accounts of the life, ministries, and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, Israel’s promised Messiah and King. A study of the Gospel of Matthew proves that fact beyond any reasonable doubt. The Gospel According to Matthew was written to help those interested in knowing the truth to come to the knowledge and conviction of the truth, as God has set it forth. May it be used to that purpose.

You are what you own. So believed many of the elite men and women of Renaissance Italy. The notion that a person's belongings transmit something about their personal history, status, and "character" was renewed in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Objects of Virtue explores the multiple meanings and values of the objects with which families like the Medici, Este, and Gonzaga surrounded themselves. This lavishly illustrated volume examines the complicated relationships between the so-called "fine arts"--painting and sculpture--and artifacts of other kinds for which artistry might be as important as utility-furniture, jewelry, and vessels made of gold, silver, and bronze, precious and semi-precious stone, glass, and ceramic. The works discussed were designed and made by artists as famous as Andrea Mantegna, Raphael, and Michelangelo, as well as by lesser-known specialists--goldsmiths, gem-engravers, glassmakers, and maiolica painters.

The book of Psalms, today taken by most to be a collection of pious poems and soothing hymns, came into existence against a background of extreme factional violence, competing schools of spiritual enterprise, and a struggle for political prominence that lasted for centuries. Jerusalem Ghosts tells the (fictional) story of a double murder inquiry undertaken by ancient Israel’s best-known and most successful sleuth, David ben Simon, an investigation that played itself out against the larger political and spiritual tensions of the day and which laid bare the lengths to which people on both sides of the struggle would go to defeat their enemies and bequeath their own version of ancient Judaism to the ages as the authentic faith of Israel.
