Dear safranim,
I have an incomplete playlet published by A. Gitlin of Warsaw.(probably
published in the 1920s or 1930s).
The work is in 6 בילדער and I am missing the text of the 1st בילד.
The item is 40 pages and 16 cm.
The characters include "Ṭate, Prints, Tsirele, Royzale".
I am posting this on behalf of a young friend of mine (some parts have been
omitted) who is interested in getting some current information on Hebrew OCR.
