Including over 37,000 entries compiled by a team of expert
Yiddish linguists, Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary
surpasses all its predecessors in the number of words and rich
selection of idioms, examples of usage, and coverage of stylistic
levels and dialect forms. The user-friendly entries include words
for standard and literary as well as contemporary colloquial and
conversational usage and a wide range of terms from all sources of
Yiddish, including those of Hebraic-Aramaic, Slavic, and Romance as
well as Germanic origin. The lexical corpus comes directly from the
highly acclaimed Dictionnaire Yiddish-Francais by Yitskhok Niborski
and Bernard Vaisbrot, published by the Bibliotheque Medem in Paris
in 2002. Augmented by an extensive user's guide, this volume is an
indispensable resource for students, teachers, translators, and
readers of Yiddish."
