‎(FT) 8vo. 128 pages. In Hebrew. SUBJECT(S) : Meir, 2nd cent. -- drama; Berubiah, 2nd cent. -- drama. Cahan (1881-1960) was a Hebrew poet and Zionist. Devoted to the revival of the Hebrew language and culture, he coined the term "New Hebrew, " referring to a desired, beautiful, post-Diaspora culture. For him the Jewish Diaspora was everything hated and ugly. "Cahan's poetry revolves around two axes - messianism and the fusion of three major principles: beauty, holiness, and happiness. The messianic motif runs through most of his lyrical epics, verse dramas, and dramatized legends. It goes hand in hand with his identification of the Judaic-prophetic sanctity of life and the yearning for enlightened beauty and universal humanism, or with the identification of morality and the quest for happiness.

Adler Collection and its Usage as a Research Tool,” in Jewish Quarterly Review 90, 3-4 (2000): 405-415. The book also received this praise from Heidi G. Lerner & Seth Jerchower in their “The Penn/Cambridge Genizah Fragment Project: Issues in Description, Access, and Reunification” (Philadelphia, 2006): "Danzig’s 1997 catalog of Rabbinic fragments at the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, while oriented upon the holdings of one local collection, exhaustively provides cross-matches and concordances. " The Cairo Geniza is a collection of almost 280,000 Jewish manuscript fragments found in the Genizah or storeroom of the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Fustat, presently Old Cairo, Egypt. Some additional fragments were found in the Basatin cemetery east of Old Cairo, and the collection includes a number of old documents bought in Cairo in the later 19th century. It is presently dispersed among a number of libraries, including the libraries of Cambridge University and the University of Manchester…. In 1896, English travelers Agnes S. Lewis and Margaret D. Gibson returned from Egypt with fragments from the genizah they considered to be of interest, and showed them to Solomon Schechter at Cambridge. Schechter, already aware of the Genizah but not of its significance, immediately recognized the importance of the material. He later went to Egypt, acquired many documents, and brought the contents of the Genizah to scholarly and popular attention….The Taylor-Schechter collection at Cambridge has nearly 193,000 fragments (137,000 shelf-marks); there are a further 31,000 fragments at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.

Dolitzky (1856–1931) , “Hebrew poet and novelist. Born in Bialystok, Menahem Mendel Dolitzki received a traditional education. At an early age, he was attracted to the Haskalah, and in 1875–1876 he traveled to Vienna. There Dolitzki became acquainted with Perets Smolenskin, editor of the Hebrew periodical Ha-Shahar. In 1878, Smolenskin printed Dolitzki’s long narrative poem, Likui shene ha-me’orot, o shene tsadikim she-hiblu zeh ba-zeh (The Eclipse of Two Lights, or the Two Righteous Men Who Injured Each Other) , a satire mocking two rabbis for their antagonism. After his business initiatives failed, Dolitzki worked as a teacher in Bialystok. He continued to publish pieces in Ha-Shahar, Keneset Yisra’el, and Ha-Melits, and established his reputation as a Hebrew author. He was warmly welcomed by Yehudah Leib Gordon in Saint Petersburg in 1881–1882. In 1882, Dolitzki settled in Moscow, where he served for a time as secretary to Kalonymus Wissotzky and worked as a private tutor. Dolitzki witnessed the pogroms of the early 1880s and wrote about them in 'Be-Tokh leva’im' (Among Lions; 1884) and 'Mi-Bayit umi-huts' (From Within and Without; 1890–1891) . Dealing with the question of the right of Jews to settle outside the Pale of Settlement (an acute and painful issue in those days) , the stories are poignant antigovernment satires, exposing the dreary conditions experienced by Diaspora Jews and of Jews who betray their people and benefit. Dolitzki’s poems, by no means artistic masterpieces, made a strong impression as well, and were generally popular. … In the United States, Dolitzki struggled, working as a teacher and a peddler, remaining loyal to the concept of Zionism. There he published some 300 proverbs and 50 sensational novels in Yiddish, mainly under the pseudonym M. Volfovich. He died, largely forgotten, in Los Angeles. Volumes of his poetry appeared in New York in 1895, 1900, and 1904.” (Yivo Encyclopedia) . Subjects: Hebrew Poetry. New York – Hebrew Poems. Dolitzky. Oclc lists 19 copies.
