This Is A New Release Of The Original 1921 Edition.

1921. This volume of translations is a companion to the Hebrew texts which may be found in a separate book. In preparing these selections, Halper was guided by two principles: the literary merit of the extract and its pedagogic value. The latter quality would be entirely lost in a translation. It is hoped the reader will derive aesthetic pleasure from the beauty or quaintness of the great variety of passages. In order to give an idea of the diversity and extensiveness of post-biblical Hebrew literature, practically all branches have been incorporated into this anthology, and great care was taken to select representative authors.

Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment to protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature.
