The Legends of the Jews, Volume VI: From Moses to Esther, Notes for Volumes III and IV
by Louis Ginzberg
The Legends of the Jews (6)
On This Page
Description
The notes for Volumes Three and Four tell where legends appear and reappear, where versions differ and where they contradict one another. When legends have been the subject of learned interpretation or debate, Ginzberg provides guidance to the commentaries and disputants; when the legends are part of a larger controversy, he provides context.Tags

Louis Ginzberg was born in Kovno (now Kaunas), Lithuania, in 1873. He began his university studies in mathematics but eventually turned to the study of religion. His doctoral dissertation, which documented the survival of various Jewish elaborations of the Bible in the writings of the Church Fathers, prefigured his later work. He emigrated to show more America in 1899 and became a renowned Judaic scholar. He died in New York City in 1953. show less
