Dear Safranim,

My mother, a Yiddish speaker, is looking for the Yiddish word for

Thanks in advance for your help.

RE: [ha-Safran]: FASCICLES:Megilloth at the BHQ

2004-12-20 Thread Rettberg, Dan
You need to consult a catalog of the Wuertembergische Bibelanstalt in 
Stuttgart. I recently received a paper copy of their catalog, and am almost 
certain I saw it featured there, but have since passed on the catalog to 
someone else, and so cannot check it. I assume they have a website, but 
have not been able to bring it up with various permutations of the above 
name. All I get are bibliographies listing Hebrew Bible editions and study 
tools.

Thank you very much to all who replied.  I got some really good leads, and

[ha-Safran]: New Hebrew publication

2004-12-20 Thread Abraham David
Please find here by attachment a short description of my new publication. I 
would appreciate if you will advertized it.
Dr. Abraham David


Hebrew publication

Historyon be-Saa'rot Ruho

The Irascible Historian

New Light on the personality of the Sixteenth Century Chronicler Joseph 
Ha-Kohen from his personal Correspondence,

Edited with notes and an introduction by Abraham David, Jerusalem, Beit 
David, 2004, 106 pages. $20.00 (including postage).


These letters of the famous historian Koseph Hakohen, author of 'Emek 
Ha-Bakhah, cover only a short span of his life, some fifteen years in the 
mid 16nth century. Nonetheless, they disclose much of his inner world.
Joseph Ha-Kohen's life was filled with pain and anguish. Within the span of 
10 years he buried three of his sons, along with other close relatives, 
after as he suffered exile from his home-town of Genoa, sending him on an 
itinerant path across northern Italy.
His bitter and restless experiences must have influenced his fiery and 
irascible manner in his interpersonal relationships. He appears to be 
temperate, and easily upset when his letters are not answered in time. He 
bore a grudge against his rivals, even those who were closely related to 
him, like his sister Clara and brother Todros. He spare no words even to 
the most respected sages of his time, such as R. Meir Katznelbogen (Maharam 
Padova).
 We find here, substantial background for understanding the 
personality of the historian, within the context of his experiences and 
social position, that are likely to have influenced his historiographic view.

Dr. Abraham David, has been an Historian and Senior Researcher at the 
Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem for over thirty years. 
His primary field of research is Hebrew Manuscripts of the middle ages. His 
expertise is in the Jewish Historiography and the early Jewish 
re-settlement of the Land of Israel in the Mameluke and early Ottoman 
periods. He has published books and numerous articles on this topic, 
including the publication of documents and chronicles of the era.

[ha-Safran]: School library software

2004-12-20 Thread Loretta Sadwin
I'm wondering which automation system day school
libraries (i.e. schools with 5,000 volumes or less)are
using.  Has any one looked into or tried a program
called Softlink Alice?
Thanks for your help.
