Sobre este artículo
Amherst, MA: National Yiddish Book Center, 1999. Facsimile reprint edition of 1902. Trade paperback. Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. Corner of cover creased.. Text in Yiddish, English. 315, [1] p. 23 cm. Examples of business and other correspondence with translations in Yiddish and English on opposite pages. Reprint of: New York: Hebrew Publishing Company, 1902. This is part of the Steven Spielberg Digital Yiddish Library. Alexander Harkavy (May 5, 1863 at Nowogrudod, Minsk guberniya, Russian Empire (now Navahrudak, Hrodna, Belarus)-1939 in New York) was a Russian-born American writer, lexicographer and linguist. Alexander at an early age evinced a predilection for philology. In 1879 he went to Vilna, where he worked in the printing-office of the Romm Brothers. After the antisemitic pogroms of 1880 in Russia, Harkavy joined the Jewish Am Olam (Eternal People) back-to-the-land movement. In 1882 Harkavy emigrated to the United States. He was one of the contributors to the Jewish Encyclopedia. It is partly due to Harkavy's work that Yiddish today is regarded as a language. His Yiddish dictionaries show that its vocabulary is as ample as that of the average modern language, and that, if lacking in technical terms, it is richer in idiomatic and characteristic expressions.
