VG orig. rose cloth, sides spotted, in vg gray dj. ix, [1], 290 p.; 23 cm.[First printed in 1924] From the preface: `This book brings together and deals with Rabbinic Metaphors, Similes and Parables taken from Agricultural and Pastoral life. It is hoped to deal similarly on some future occasion with poetic figures gathered from other aspects of Nature and Life. It is a field of study which has so far received inadequate attention, more especially from the Jewish point of view. And yet its utility must be readily recognised and generally admitted. For the subject has an interest and value fromseveral different aspects; and this work, whilst constituting a useful compendium of Midrashic material, makes at the same time some attempt at considering the subject from those varied standpoints. The selections from Rabbinic literature presenter in this volume have all been culled from the original sources and translated anew. In the translation an endeavour has been made to preserve the distinctive characteristics of Talmudic style. Having regard to the different points of view from which this subject may be treated, the collection has been made as comprehensive as possible.'. 2nd edition. Binding is Hardcover.…
