Re: [ha-Safran] Talmud ebooks?

[Freedman, Vanessa via Hasafran]

Sefaria has iOS and Android apps. You can download whole books or even the 
entire library to read offline.

In answer to the original question, I use Sefaria (on my iPad) to study Daf 
Yomi and it works very well. You can view vocalised or unvocalised 
Hebrew/Aramaic text alongside the Koren English translation, and some of the 
errors in the printed Koren (of which there are many, of varying degrees of 
seriousness) have been corrected in the Sefaria version. The web version has 
additional functionality like viewing the biography an individual when you 
click on their name.

Just out of curiousity, can files from Sefaria be downloaded to a tablet or 
other reading device?  While any document in pdf format can be downloaded and 
read as an ebook, the readability of the text from a pdf is inferior to a 
“manifestation” that was “born digitial”.

Dear Safranim,

We received a reader request for Talmud ebooks, for example for readers who 
have trouble getting to the library, and/or find ebooks more convenient.

Do you and/or your readers use ebooks to study Talmud? Do you use Sefaria.org 
to do so? Are there other sites or ebook vendors that you would recommend for 
studying Talmud?

I am interested in hearing your ideas and suggestions. Thanks!

A quick note to share this new piece about DEAR MR. DICKENS by Nancy Churnin 
(illustrations by Bethany Stancliffe). I knew that I wanted to write about this 
inspiring story about a (true, historical) effort to address anti-Jewish

Subject: [ha-Safran] Support the National Library of Israel!


Everyone - my thanks to Elliot Gertel, Yoel Finkelman and other who have 
brought to our attention the current financial difficulties facing the National 
Library of Israel.

The plight of the NLI  got me thinking about all the things we take for granted 
in our lives and what our lives would be like without them.   Imagine our world 
without the NLI!  Imagine not being able to consult the NLI catalogue, not 
being able to research the NLI collections, no longer receiving one of their 
amazing blogs posts or being able to download information from their website?  
Consider what it would it would mean to scholarship if the Ktiv website were to 
just vanish and the decades of cataloging expertise created at the Institute 
for Microfilmed Hebrew Manuscripts were to just go away?  Every week the NLI 
freely provides data on new acquisitions to all who are interested in receiving 
it.  The NLI sponsors international conferences, provides workshops for 
training librarians and archivists from around the world, serves as Israel's 
national repository for publications and supports diasporic Jewish cultural 
life.

In this moment, when life feels so fragile, the thought of a world without 
libraries and the librarians and archivists that protect and serve our cultural 
treasury seems almost unbearable.  I have looked into how to make a cash 
donation to the NLI - not in the expectation that my small contribution will 
change the tide of history - but in the belief that this is a time to show 
solidarity and support for that great institution and all the devoted people 
who work there.  If you feel similarly, see below for information on how to

Re: [ha-Safran] Papers of Hartwig Hirschfeld

[Freedman, Vanessa]

Thanks Michelle. That will be  useful as I had another enquiry regarding his 
family history. The original enquirer was actually looking for Hirschfeld’s 
Nachlass. This isn’t a term I was familiar with but looked it up and it means 
‘personal effects —used for works unpublished or unexhibited at one's death’.

There was a piece on BBC World Service last week commemorating the Battle of 
Cable Street.  It included interviews with participants.  The emphasis was on 
the Communists – many who were Jews – who organized the action and the Jewish 
participation was mentioned only peripherally.

Dear Safranim


May I suggest that you visit http://www.cablestreet.uk/#.V_RzrlIlfPs.mailto , a 
website where details of the Battle of Cable Street are chronicled.

The world at large, including the Jewish world at large, does not appear to be 
aware of this dramatic event that stopped the then ascendant British fascists 
in their tracks.
The British Union of Fascists under the full protection of the British police 
had announced their intention to march in their black-shirted, jack-booted 
uniforms, through London’s East End Jewish enclave. The London East End Jews 
said NO! and they, with the help of other local anti-fascists, won the bloody 
battle that ensued.

When Jews were being browbeaten in a Europe that was being overrun by Nazism 
and fascism, the East London Jews stoodh proud.

[ha-Safran] Digitisation of printed materials

[Freedman, Vanessa]

With apologies for cross-posting.

We have just completed digitising a pilot batch of Jewish pamphlets as part of 
our Uncovering UCL's Jewish Pamphlet Collections project, and we have 
encountered some issues with OCR of Hebrew and Gothic scripts (particularly 
where there is a mixture of scripts in the same document) and also with the 
display of parallel Hebrew and English texts. If anyone would be prepared to 
share their experience of digitising printed materials then please contact me 
off list.

Wishing those observing Yom Kippur a gmar chatimah tovah

In the John Rylands Library I came across a Syriac collection of chams (a small 
codex), which is very similar to those which were published by Hermann Gollancz 
in 1912 (please find the details taken from the UCL Library catalogue below):
The book of protection, being a collection of charms / now edited for the first 
time from Syriac MSS. with translation, introduction, and notes by Hermann 
Gollancz.
Hermann Gollancz, 1852-1930
London : Oxford University Press  1912.

The two MSS, which he published, apparently belonged to his private collection. 
Now as I am working on this type of Syriac manuscripts, I am wondering, where 
these two MSS came after his death? I know that his library and some of his 
private papers came to UCL, but what happened to his MSS collection?


Thanks

Vanessa

Re: [ha-Safran] Jewish Chronicle of London

[Freedman, Vanessa]

We have an institutional subscription, though it was quite difficult to 
arrange, as they're not really set up for it. They don't use IP recognition, so 
we have an institutional username and password, which are on a password 
protected page, so they are only available to our staff and students.

Hello.

 

One of my professors is eager to get access to The Jewish Chronicle of London's 
historical backfile online. I've contacted London, asking them if they support 
institutional accounts, as opposed to individual ones.
Meanwhile, I wanted to ask the collective wisdom whether any other institution 
has tried this.

 

Incidentally, we do have the Jewish Chronicle of London on microfilm, but the 
professor wants to do searching by name.

  

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that Volume 18 of Judaica Librarianship is finally 
published. The journal?s first online issue is available at 
http://ajlpublishing.org. Mazel Tov to AJL!!!

AJL members should use a combination of their full name and email address to 
access the full-text articles. If you have any trouble accessing the journal 
articles, please contact me by replying to this email. Non-member readers of 
ha-Safran may join the association at 
http://www.jewishlibraries.org/main/JoinAJL.aspx.

At this point, two back issues of the journal are freely available at 
http://ajlpublishing.org: Vols. 16/17 (2011) and Vol. 15 (2009). Thanks to our 
Open Access policy regarding back issues, the articles in these volumes have 
been downloaded more than 4,200 times, thus exceeding the circulation of both 
the print issues and the reported downloads from database providers. That means 
that AJL?s impact on the international scholarly community is greater than ever 
before. Now that Vol. 18 is published, I plan to upload the other back issues 
of Judaica Librarianship, including Vols. 1?10 that are now digitized thanks to 
Laurel Wolfson of Klau Library, at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of 
Religion in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The production of Vol. 18 would not have been possible without the authors and 
anonymous reviewers who contributed their talents and time to the journal; the 
copyeditors, especially Judy Wolfthal, who helped with polishing the texts; all 
Editorial Board members, especially past Editor-in-Chief Zachary Baker and 
Associate Editor for Reviews Jim Rosenbloom, who were extremely helpful; and 
Nancy Sack and Karen Ulric who assisted with technology-related issues. THANK 
YOU, all!

Vanessa,

in light of some new information that i learned about MGK, i am revising below 
some of the information
that i had sent you earlier about MGK.

1. the plan is to publish all the volumes that have appeared in the folio size 
also in the quarto size.

2. the remaining folio volumes that have not yet been published in quarto size 
(e.g. including Isaiah, Ezekiel) are to be published in 2014.

3. thus when the remaining volumes (of the Hagiographa) that have not yet been 
published in folio size or quarto size  - will be published
in quarto size (e.g. Job)  - then the edition will be complete  IN QUARTO SIZE. 
perhaps this will be completed in 2015.

4. it is unclear when they will attempt to publish all the volumes in folio 
size.


with best wishes,

Jordan Penkower

(With apologies for cross posting)

Please see forwarded message below for another answer to the Mikraot Gedolot 
question. I also received the following reply from another librarian:

I contacted Bar-Ilan University Press in summer 2012 concerning this question. 
This is what they answered:

There are indeed 2 editions in the Mikraot Gedolot HaKeter Series:
The regular edition is cm 30X23.5, while the smaller edition is sized cm 
24.5X17.5

The Series Editorial Board informs us that the completion of the Regular 
edition will not be available within the next 3 years or so.

Subject: Mikraot Gedolot HaKeter

Vanessa,

someone called my attention to your query about Mikraot Gedolot HaKeter. here 
is my response (and you can pass it on to any others who had the same query).


1. MGH was originally published (incomplete) in a folio format; i.e. all the 
volumes that were published were in folio format, and had introductions.

2. HOWEVER, at some stage the actualy publication of the remaining volumes was 
stalled because of lack of funds.eventually, they found a donor (Dr. Marcus 
Katz), and then they resumed publication.at this point, they decided to publish 
the remaining volumes in quarto size, without introductions.

3. thus, all of a sudden there appeared several (!) new volumes (whose 
publication had been backed up because of lack of funds), all in the smaller 
format and without the introductions: Exodus (vol. 1), Leviticus, Numbers, 
Deuteronomy, Jeremiah, Twelve Prophets, the Five Scrolls. [i emphasize that 
these new volumes never appeared in the folio format].

4. then the decision was also made to print some of the previous folio volumes 
in the smaller format - e.g Genesis. thus, now the whole Pentateuch was 
available as a set in the small format (ONLY). some of the other folio volumes 
were also now reprinted in the smaller format: e.g. Samuel, Kings, Psalms.

5. they will continue to publish the new volumes (e.g. Job) in the smaller 
format. thus, the complete set of all the volumes will really be a mixture of 
some folio volumes, and of some quarto volumes.

6. i assume that at some later stage they may decide to publish the quarto 
volumes - in folio size too (eg the one listed in #3 above), and presumably add 
introductions, too. and similarly, i assume they at some later stage they will 
print the remaining folio volumes in quarto size (eg Isaiah, Ezekiel).

7. i should emphasize that some of the volumes (e.g. in the folio size) have 
appeared in a number of editions; i.e. they were reprinted, but with 
corrections entered therein (although not particularly noted in the title page 
or elsewhere).

 i hope the above clarifies the matter for you.

with best wishes,

Jordan Penkower
(Prof., Bible Dept, Bar-Ilan University).

The Cairo Genizah is a treasure trove of manuscripts from the Ben Ezra 
synagogue in Old Cairo that portrays over 800 years of community life.
Rediscovered in the 19th century, this vast communal paper-bin contained 
hundreds upon thousands of scraps of rag-paper and parchment - an unedited 
archive of prayers, letters, poems, magical spells, alchemical recipes, 
children's exercise books, divorce deeds and pre-nuptial agreements that paints 
a lively and intimate picture of daily medieval life in Egypt and the Eastern 
Mediterranean.

Episode 1: The Discovery (27th May)
In this first essay, Dr Esther-Miriam Wagner of the Genizah Research Unit tells 
the story of the discovery of the Genizah inside the ancient and crumbling 
synagogue of Al-Fustat, a suburb of modern day Cairo. Featuring a legendary 
curse, a pair of intrepid Scottish twins, an eccentric scholar and one very 
generous rabbi...

Episode 2: Letters (28th May)
Intercepting private letters between medieval merchants, Dr Ben Outhwaite, Head 
of the Genizah Research Unit, uncovers an international trading network that 
united Jews, Muslims and Christians across Europe, North Africa and the Middle 
East.

Episode 3: Women (29th May)
Looking at marriage and divorce deeds, as well as some incredibly detailed 
pre-nuptial agreements, Dr Melonie Schmierer-Lee of the Genizah Research Unit 
reveals the fortunes of women in medieval Cairo.

Episode 4: Three Lives (30th May)
Reading the private documents of the legendary philosopher Maimonides, 
community leader Solomon ben Judah and Indian Ocean trader Abraham ben Yiju, Dr 
Daniel Davies of the Genizah Research Unit sheds light on three very different 
lives.

Episode 5: Alchemy  Magic (31st May)
In this final essay, Dr Gabriele Ferrario of the Genizah Research Unit reveals 
the most secretive side of the Genizah collection: the manuscripts relating to 
alchemy and magic.
