Just published: Tifferet Sinai (The Glory of Sinai), the Hebrew dramatic works of Mattityahu Nissim (Donato) Terni, edited from manuscripts with an introduction and notes by Dvora Bregman. Jerusalem, Ben Zvi Institute, 2003.
Terni (1745-1810), a rabbi in Florence, Pesaro and other towns in Italy, composed a number of dramas for the Shavuot festival, and they were performed annualy by the students of the Talmud Torah of Pesaro. The text of six plays survive in manuscripts; three of them were previously printed , but the other three were never edited before. All six plays appear in this volume in a critical edition based on all the manuscripts and early editions. This volume is a welcome addition to the very slim opus of Hebrew dramatic works before the 19th cent.
