Epstein, A.
MI-KADMONIYOT HA-YEHUDIM
(FT) Hardcover, 8vo, 138, xlvi pages, 20 cm. In Hebrew. SUBJECT(S) : Rabbinical literature. Jews -- History -- To 70 A. D. Helek rishon: Ma? Amarim. Midrash Tadshe ? Al pi kitve-yad; no more published. Includes bibliographical references. Added tile page: Beitrage zur judischen Alterthumskunde; Midrash Tadshe. Epstein (1841-1918) was a rabbinic scholar and historian. Epstein was born in Staro-Konstantinov, Russia, to a wealthy family. Epstein leased some land near Kozmin in 1865 and worked it himself for many years, trying to persuade some of the local Jewish poor to do the same. During that period he developed an interest in natural sciences and built a laboratory, where he carried out various experiments. After his fathers death Epstein left his farm and took over the family business. In 1861 he traveled to Western Europe, where he met some of the leading figures in Jewish scholarship who greatly stimulated his interest in Jewish studies. Gradually, he liquidated his shares in the family business and devoted himself to research. In 1876 he settled in Vienna, where he pursued his studies and contributed articles to learned Hebrew periodicals. Among Epstein's Midrash and Targum studies are Kadmut ha-Tan? Uma, on the antiquity and origin of Midrash Tan? Uma; and a critical edition of Eldad ha-Dani with a comprehensive introduction, notes, and appendices, including a note on Beta Israel and their customs. On the Franco-German school he wrote Der Gerschom Meor-ha-Golah zugeschriebene Talmud-Kommentar, an article which aroused much interest and revolutionized the study of pre-Rashi Talmud commentaries; Schemaja, der Schueler und Sekretaer Raschis; a critical edition of Maasei ha-Geonim, a collection of responsa of the Franco-German school; and Das talmudische Lexikon Jechuse Tannaim we-Amoraim und Jehuda b. Kalonimos aus Speier. Epsteins historical studies on the same period include Juedische Altertuemer in Worms und Speyer and Mishpahat Lurie. In the controversy between Rapoport and I. Weiss, Epstein defended the former in Divrei Bikkoret. Epsteins works manifest his vast knowledge and painstaking research: he combined the best of Eastern scholarship with Western method and is recognized as an outstanding scholar in his fields. A collection of some of his writings appeared under the title Mi-Kadmoniyyot ha-Yehudim, of which the second volume of Kitvei R. Avraham Epstein, edited by A. M. Habermann, is an enlarged version. An autobiographical sketch was published in N. Sokolow, Sefer Zikkaron le-Sifrei Yisrael, and is reproduced in Kitvei R. Avraham Epstein. Epstein willed his large and valuable library to the Vienna Jewish Theological Seminary (Avneri in EJ, 2007) . Ex-library with bookplate. Browning to edges of pages. Lightwear to edges of cover. Otherwise, very good condition. (Heb-40-5)

Der Gaonäische Kommentar Zur Ordnung Tohoroth: Eine Kritische Einleitung Zu Dem R. Hai Gaon Zugeschriebenen Kommentar
FT) Paper wrappers. 8vo. VI, 160 pages. 25 cm. First Edition. In German, Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic. Title translates as The Geonic commentaries on rules of the Tohoroth: a critical introduction to the commentaries ascribed to R Hai Gaon. Jacob Nahum Epstein was born in Lithuania in 1878 into an old rabbinical family, obtained a doctorate in Semitic Philology at Vienna in 1913, and taught in Berlin until 1925, when he left for Jerusalem as part of the first staff at the Hebrew University, and was a professor of Talmudic studies there until his death in 1952. Hai ben Sherira (or Hai b. Sherira (Gaon) , Hebrew: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ; better known as Hai Gaon, Hebrew: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ) , was a medieval Jewish theologian, rabbi and scholar who served as Gaon of the Talmudic academy of Pumbedita during the early 11th century. He was born in 939 and died on March 28, 1038. Hai b. Sherira's philological abilities were directed to the expounding of the Mishnah; of this work only the portion on Seder ? Ohorot is extant; it was published by T. Rosenberg in "? Obe? Ma'aseh" (Berlin, 1856) . This commentary contains especially interesting linguistic notes, Arabic and Aramaic being often adduced for comparison. The author quotes the Mishnah, the two Talmuds, the Tosefta, the Sifra, Targums On? Elos and Jonathan, the Septuagint, the works of Saadia, the "Sifre Refu'ah, " and other anonymous sources. He also quotes his own commentary on Zera'im. (p. 34) and on Baba Batra (p. 43) . These quotations, and many others cited by the 'Aruk, prove that the commentary extended to the whole Mishnah, containing among other explanations and historical and archeological notes. (Jewish Encylopedia, 1906) . Subjects: Geonic literature -- History and criticism. Hai ben Sherira, 939-1038. Mishnah. Tohorot (Order) -- Commentaries.
