Collection of paper items, handwritten and printed, from the estate of the Israeli diplomat Abba Eban. Late 1940s-1990s. English and some Hebrew. • Dozens of printed and handwritten drafts, for speeches, lectures and essays composed by Eban. Among them: declaration delivered to the UN security council on May 28, 1948 (a fortnight after the establishment of the State of Israel), concerning a proposal for cease fire in the Independence War; another declaration delivered to the UN security council dated July 14, 1948, regarding the battles of the ten days and the call to cease fire; draft of a speech, composed, most probably, shortly after the Yom Kippur War, calling to use the "Historic Opportunity" and start negotiations with the Arabs; as well as essays about the peace process, Gaza and the West Bank, strategies of negotiations and bargaining, the borders of Israel, the peace process, Jewish history and other subjects. Some of the drafts encompass dozens of pages, and in many of them appear comments, additions and deletions by hand. • Manuscript, printed and spiral-bound, of a book titled "Reflections on the New Diplomacy" by Eban (apparently the book was eventually published under the title "Diplomacy for the Next Century" by Yale University Press, New Haven, 1998). • Fifteen books, most of them with signatures and dedications to and from Eban and a minority with handwritten comments (on notes attached to leaves). Among the books: A New Spirit, A New Commitment, A New America, by US President Jimmy Carter. A copy inscribed by the author; "The Temple Mount is in our Hands!" by Chief of Staff Mota Gur. A copy inscribed by the author; Jacques Lipchitz His Sculpture, monograph of the sculptor Jacques Lipchitz with a dedication in his handwriting; and more. • Other paper items, including five booklets with Eban's speeches, a postal envelope in honor of "The peace treaty Israel-Egypt, March 26, 1979"; a typewritten draft – a complete English translation by Eban of the play "Oedipus the King" by Sophocles; and more. Enclosed: a vinyl record, painted in gold, with a plaque with Israel's emblem, the UN emblem and the inscription "A Recording of the Vote on Israel Admission to the United Nations". Approx. 100 items. Size and condition vary. Good overall condition.
