[ha-Safran] English translation of a Tolstoy story
Safranim-there is a very short story in Hebrew called Avanim, which was translated by Eliezer Steinman from a Russian short story by Tolstoy. I am looking for the English version of that story (and there does not seem to be a short story called "Stones" or "Rocks" ). Please let me know if you have heard of the original story and what the English title might be. Thanks in advance.

[ha-Safran] Research question regarding Japanese translations of Kabbalah texts
Colleagues, The following is a question I received that I am not sure I am qualified to answer. Can someone help us? Yossi [image: The Ohio State University] Joseph (Yossi) Galron-Goldschlaeger Head, Hebraica & Jewish Studies Library 355A Thompson Memorial Library The Ohio State University Libraries 1858 Neil Ave. Mall Columbus, Ohio 43210 USA Tel.: (614) 292-3362, Fax: (614)292-1918 Mobile: (614) 285-4290 E-Mail: galro...@osu.edu or jgal...@gmail.com URL: http://library.osu.edu/about/departments/jewish-studies/ Lexicon of Modern Hebrew Literature: http://go.osu.edu/hebrewlit -- Forwarded message -- From: Thomas, Stefanie Date: Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 10:24 PM Subject: Research question regarding Japanese translations of Kabbalah texts To: "galro...@osu.edu" Dear Mr. Galron, I received your contact information from ... after inquiring of him whether he knew a person who might be able to aid me in answering a question related to the research I am currently conducting for my master's thesis. My name is Stefanie Thomas; I am a second-year MA student specializing in modern Japanese literature. The property I am analyzing for my master's thesis features allusions to both Gnosticism and kabbalistic literature (primarily the Zohar and Lurianic tracts). In the text "An Entrance to the Zohar" by Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag (Dr. Philip S. Berg comp. and ed.), four colors are mentioned in reference to the Sefirot Hokhmah, Binah, Tiferet, and Malkhut: white, red, green, and black. In the property I am analyzing, four characters who could be tied to these spheres of emanation by virtue of similar Gnostic concepts are clothed in white, red, blue, and black. My question is as follows: In Japanese, the color green, particularly when mentioned in a context related to nature, can be translated as "aoi," i. e. "blue." If that is the case here, kabbalistic references to this color quaternity would apply to my analysis. However, I find myself unable to determine whether this is the case, as Japanese copies of these texts unfortunately seem unavailable even via the ILL system. Would you happen to know how I could investigate this matter further/know an individuum who might be familiar with Japanese translations of Kabbalah texts? Thank you very much in advance.

[ha-Safran] FS: Eva Hesse Catalogue Raisonne.
We are pleased to offer the following item for your Jewish Art collections: “Eva Hesse: Catalogue Raisonne. Volume I: Paintings. Volume II: Sculpture.” Two volumes in Slip-Case. Volume I edited by Renate Petzinger, Barry Rosen and Anette Spohn. Volume II edited by Barry Rosen and Renate Petzinger, with Jörg Daur. New Haven, Conn., Museum Wiesbaden and Yale University Press. , 2006. Large quartos, gray cloth with black spine lettering, 327 pp., color illustrations throughout, b/w photo of Hesse, biography, exhibition history, bibliography, photo credits + 391 pp., b/w and color photos throughout, photo credits. In a blue-gray cloth covered slipcase. Hardbound. Very Good. Foreword by Volker Rattemeyer. (70041) $75.00 postpaid. (Originally published at $250.00) The Estate of Eva Hesse joined forces with Museum Wiesbaden, Hauser & Wirth and Yale University Press to compile a catalogue raisonné of Hesse's sculptures, paintings, and works on paper. Volume 1 is devoted to Hesse's paintings; it documents 133 works, including over 20 previously unknown and unrecorded works. 44 student works and 89 works from the period 1960-65 are included. Volume 2 is devoted to Hesse's sculptural works, created between 1965 and 1970, including 23 previously unrecorded works. The volume incorporates new photography on a substantial number of works, including individual photographic records of Hesse's Test Pieces. It also includes important archival material, including photographs of the artist's studio. The works on paper are documented in the third and fourth volumes of the catalogue raisonné, are scheduled for publication in 2014. These two volumes will comprise some 650 drawings, watercolors, gouaches, collages and photograms, including 150 student works. As Yale University Press has sold off their stock of these first two volumes it may be inconvenient to attempt to complete a full set later. If you feel that you have seen Hesse's work the first volume should offer a great surprise. The quantity and verve of her paintings a startling contrast to her better known and more "classical" sculptural work. __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
