Excerpt from Semitic Studies in Memory of Rev. Dr. Alexander Kohut
This gathering of noted bookmen must, therefore, not be regarded in the light of an apotheosis, though the united homage of such high-priests of intellect sheds a peculiar luster upon his name. He who exalts another, said the Rabbis, is himself exalted. Thus, indeed, the halo of dignity rests wholly upon them, whose scholarly sympathies are here crystallized into thoughts that make them all kindled with him, who has struggled and searched after truth, and in searching, died for it. This work is a monument of their learning and integrity!

Excerpt from Semitic Studies in Memory of Rev. Dr. Alexander Kohut
To
My Father, Teacher, And Friend,
who so lovingly guided me in life,
and whose presence, far from being removed by death,
still continues to lend me hope and inspiration
to walk in the paths of righteousness, which he,
like Samuel the Prophet, trod just fifty-two years;
To him, whose delight was in the Law of the Lord
therein to meditate by day and by night, without hindrance or restraint,
until the final Sabbath brought him eternal peace;
Whose pure and priestly lips were touched to eloquence
by the live coal of truth taken from the altar of God,
in Whose service before the Shrine he first received
the summons to eternity;
To my Father,
whose whole life was gentle, whose heart was ever childlike,
whose soul was ever great and lofty,
upon whose brow was plainly writ the autograph of God,
I inscribe these pages,
- precious greetings from many minds and many climes -
in filial love and piety
George Alexander Kohut.
