description: (JUBILEE VOLUME IN HONOR OF DAVID HOFFMANN'S SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY) Rabbi David Hoffmann (1843-1921) was one of the great rabbinic authorities of his day. His pioneering work on the critical study of the halachic Midrashim is still of fundamental importance. Moreover, as Rector of the Rabbinical Seminary of Berlin he influenced several generations of European Rabbis, as well as Jewish scholarship throughout the world. The 49 essays contributed make this one of the important volumes of Festschriften literature. Among the contributors are some of the foremost scholars of the century, for A. Berliner, H. Brody, S. Daiches, A. Freimann, L. Ginzberg, A. Marmorstein, A. Marx, E. Mittwoch, N.A. Nobel, F. Rosenthal, S. Schecter, and M. Stern. The subjects dealt with in the essays range from biblical to contemporary themes, each being a significant contribution to its discipline. In short, this is a basic, scholarly research tool.
