‎SEFER HANOKH YALON: KOVETS MA’AMARIM‎

‎Hardcover, 8vo, 369 pages, 25 cm. In Hebrew. SUBJECT (S) : Hebrew philology. Hebrew language. Yalon, Henoch, 1886-1970. “Kovets ma’amarim bi-melot lo shiv’im v? E-hamesh shanim” on jacket. Includes bibliographical references. Other Titles: Hanokh Yalon; Henoch Yalon jubilee volume. Yalon (1886-1970) was a “Hebrew linguist. Born in Trutky, near Lopatin in Galicia, Yalon was influenced by his older brothers who had become maskilim, and became well versed in the Hebrew literature of the Haskalah. At the age of 22 he went to Lemberg where he taught Hebrew. He studied Akkadian at Lemberg University and during World War I moved to Vienna where he studied Semitic languages at the university. Yalon was invited in 1921 to teach at the Mizrachi Teachers’ Seminary in Jerusalem, where he was employed until 1946. He then devoted his life solely to research. In 1962 he received the Israel prize for Jewish scholarship. In 1963 a jubilee volume was published in his honor. Yalon’s published work is comprised only of articles, most of which were collected in three books: Mavo le-Nikkud ha-Mishnah; Pirkei Lashon; and Megillot Midbar Yehudah. He also edited Kunteresim le-Inyenei ha-Lashon ha-Ivrit and Inyenei Lashon. Yalon’s achievements as an innovator in the field of research on the Hebrew language were considerable. His studies cover all periods of the history of the Hebrew language: the Bible, mishnaic Hebrew, piyyut, medieval grammarians, Hebrew poetry in Spain, rabbinical Hebrew, grammarians of more recent centuries, and the Haskalah literature down to the contemporary spoken language. Yalon was the first to recognize the importance of the living traditions of Hebrew, especially that of the Yemenite community. While teaching at the Mizrachi Seminary, whose students came from all ethnic groups in the country, he observed the differences between the living traditions. He found that the Yemenite tradition was close to Hebrew and Aramaic with the Babylonian vocalization. Up to this time it was customary to dismiss the oral traditions of the various communities as “errors. ” Yalon, however, showed that sometimes their traditions had a Hebrew basis which was different from that transmitted by the masoretes of Tiberias. His achievements were no less in the field of criticism. Yalon wrote about scholars who were fixed in their views which were based on past and dated scientific methods. Out-spoken and very sharp in his criticisms, Yalon showed great courage in his attack. His critical activity was admirable for he persisted in it knowing that it would have little effect. Only toward the end of his life he realized that his teachings, and not those of his rivals, had triumphed in the research of Hebrew linguistics in Israel. To the public at large Yalon was known mainly as the scholar who had vocalized the six books of the Mishnah. Yalon did not aim at a pure scientific vocalization which would reflect the original form, but at times he even left the faulty vocalization which had become sanctioned through the acceptance of all the communities for many generations” (Berenbaum and Skolnik in EJ, 2007) .

Schirmann in the large Genizah collections especially in Cambridge in 1931 and 1932. They were photographed for the Archives of the Berlin Institute for Research of Hebrew Poetry, together with thousands of other Genizah fragments. M. Zulay discovered many more unknown texts by Yannai among the fragments and collected all Yannai's works known to him, in a critical edition (1938) . Zulay, more than any other researcher, was interested in Yannai, and apart from important text editions, also conducted intensive research into Yannai's language. ” (JE 2008) Menahem Zulay, (1901–1954) , was an “Israel researcher of early Erez Israel piyyut. Zulay, who was born in Oshcianci, Galicia, settled in Palestine in 1920. In 1925 he was invited to Germany to act as Hebrew tutor to the children of S. Z. Schocken. At the University of Bonn he was awarded a Ph. D. For his study Zur Liturgie der babylonischen Juden (1933) . He worked at the Schocken Institute for the Study of Hebrew poetry, from its foundation until his death. At the Institute, he studied thousands of photographs of the early Erez Israel piyyut, especially those of Yannai, that had been collected from all the libraries of the world in order to identify and classify them. He published a critical edition of Yannai, Piyyutei Yannai Melukkatim mi-Tokh Kitvei ha-Genizah u-Mekorot Aherim (1938) . ” (JE 2008) Subjects: Piyutim. Clean and fresh. No jacket, as issued.
