Mendele Personal Notices and Announcements: Yiddish-Russian Dictionary ________________________________
To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text to [email protected] as plain text (no HTML, other coding, or attachments and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames (in *this* case, one and the same person). * __________________________________________________________________* From: Leonard Fox <[email protected]> Date: March 21, 2014 Mendelyaner who read Russian may be interested in the superb "Bol'shoi idish-russkiy slovar' " [Comprehensive Yiddish-Russian Dictionary] by Aleksandr Soldatov (ISBN 978-5-9903098-1-4), published in 2011 in an edition of only 2,000 copies. The dictionary contains more than 55,000 entries, as well as a grammatical sketch of Yiddish, and comes with a multimedia cd. It is clearly printed on excellent paper. Soldatov's work is based on several earlier dictionaries, including Weinreich and Niborski, but In contrast to the older Yiddish dictionaries published in the USSR, Soldatov's uses standard Yiddish orthography. I purchased my copy through MIPP International after it appeared in their latest Judaica catalog, but it may also be available through other booksellers. Oddly enough, there is a printed notice on the reverse of the title page, saying "This book is not intended for sale." __________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
