Description

This comprehensive collection presents six decades of groundbreaking scholarly work by Salomo A. Birnbaum (1891-1989), a pioneering linguist who fundamentally shaped the study of historical Yiddish language and Hebrew palaeography. The volume brings together his most significant research contributions, including his foundational work on Yiddish grammar first published in 1918, which established the field's scientific framework and saw four subsequent editions from 1966 onwards. Birnbaum's palaeographic investigations, which began in the 1920s to address the critical need for dating and localising medieval Yiddish manuscripts, culminated in his definitive reference work The Hebrew Scripts (1954-57). This essential scholarly resource documents the evolution of Yiddish linguistic research and Hebrew script analysis across multiple generations, making it invaluable for academics, linguists, and researchers studying Jewish languages, historical linguistics, and manuscript studies.
