Sipure ma'asiyot le-rabi Nahman mi Brazlav. / Torat Rabi Nahman mi-Bratslav ve Sikhotav.

Descripción

Two works in Hebrew published in the early 1920s by Verlag Ayanot in Berlin concerning Rabbi Nahman of Braslav. Horodezky was a scholar of the history and literature of Chassidism. What is especially appealing about these copies is their presentation. The volumes differ slightly in size. They are uniformly bound in supple quarter-leather and marbled boards, with marbled endpapers. The title pages are typographically interesting, and in one case the original wrappers are bound in, and such care was taken that the spine potion of the wrappers is also preserved. Moreover, the spines of the bindings are lettered in Latin, not Hebrew. The dates of publication are at the foot of the bindings' spines. Altogether, the bindings speak to an analytic cultural tradition that was being developed with respect to Judaism. Bindings are in very good condition, spines a bit scuffed, paper is somewhat aged. Transliteration of titles follows WorldCat. The titles translate roughly as The Legends of Rabbi Nahman and The Teachings of Rabbi Nahman and his Discourses. Martin Buber "discovered" Nahman and brought his stories into the German-language sphere. According to a 2008 book by scholar Martina Urban, Horodezky was a "silent collaborator" of Buber's, supplying him with facts and materials, but frozen out of credit for his contributions.
