1901 FIRST EDITION Songs of Exile by Hebrew Poets by Nina Salaman

Description: 1901 FIRST EDITION Songs of Exile by Hebrew Poets by Nina Salaman LANGUAGE: ENGLISH VG CONDITION, HARDCOVER Only edition. 146 pp., 158:114 mm Nina Ruth Davis Salaman (1877–1925) Hebraist, known especially for her translations of medieval Hebrew poetry, at a time when Jewish scholarship in Europe was a male preserve. In addition to her translations, she published historical and critical essays, book reviews, and an anthology of Jewish readings for children, as well as poetry of her own. Nina Ruth Davis Salaman was born in Derby, England. When she was six weeks old, the family moved to London, settling first in Kilburn and then later in Bayswater. Although not an observant Jew by birth (there were few Jews and no synagogue in Derby), Arthur Davis embraced Orthodoxy and, having mastered the Hebrew language, devoted his leisure to Jewish scholarship. In 1892, he published a study of the neginot (cantillation marks) in the Masoretic text of the Bible, and in the next decade, working with Herbert Adler (1876–1940), a lawyer and nephew of Chief Rabbi Hermann Adler (1839–1911), prepared what became the standard British edition and translation of the mahzor (festival prayer book). He transmitted his enthusiasm for Hebrew to his daughter Nina and, most unusually, gave her and her older sister, Elsie, an intensive Hebrew education, personally teaching them every day. While still in her teens, Nina began publishing translations of medieval Hebrew poetry in the Anglo-Jewish press. She also contributed to her father’s edition of the mahzor.
