Bookplate that Richard Walzer who made Aliyah to Israel towards the end of his life. Here\'s what I found on him on the net:
WALZER, RICHARD RUDOLF(1900–1975), scholar of Greek and Arabic philosophy. Born in Berlin, Walzer left Germany when Hitler came to power and, from 1933 to 1938, was lecturer in Greek philosophy at the University of Rome. He went to Oxford where he lectured in Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew philosophy. Walzer discovered much lost Greek material in Arabic philosophical writings, and contributed both to the understanding of Greek thought and of its use and development by medieval Islamic thinkers.
Walzer\'s publications includeMagna Moralia und Aristotelische Ethik(1929);Aristotelis Dialogorum Fragmenta(1934, 19632);Studi su Al-Kindi(with H. Ritter and M. Guidi, 2 vols., 1938–40);Eraclito: Raccolta dei frammenti(1939);Al-Farabius: De Platonis Philosophia(with F. Rosenthal, 1943): translations of Galen,On Medical Experience(1944), andGalen on Jews and Christians(1949); and he editedGaleni Compendium Timaei Platonis(with P. Kraus, 1951), andGreek into Arabic: Essays on Islamic Philosophy(1962).
The bookplate is an illustration of a plant of sorts but it is dancing a "Waltz" which is why he probably designed it after his name.
Measurements: 9x8.5cm.Seems to have been cut on sides but nothing is missing.
