Description
   This textbook for learning the Hebrew language is based on a “new approach.” It includes many examples of handwritten Hebrew as well as pictures and also examples of Rashi script. The verso of the title page of vol. 2 is a poem by R. Shlomo Pappenheim. Later in vol. 2 there are five pages of famous Hebrew sayings (Pitgamim) followed by four pages of Words of Wisdom (Imre Bina). Both volumes end with glossaries, with the Hebrew words translated into German. The simple exercises of the first volume are followed with more difficult passages in the second volume, including long passages in Rashi script.

Solomon Pappenheim (1740–1814) was Hebrew linguist and poet. Born in Zuelz (Germany), Pappenheim served as a dayyan in Breslau till his death. He first became known as a linguist in his three-part Yeri'ot Shelomo (1784, 1811, and 1831), a study of synonyms. Although an ardent advocate of the Haskalah, Pappenheim opposed religious reforms and David Friedlaender's proposal (1812) that education be entrusted to the government. His contribution to modern Hebrew literature is his small book, Aggadat Arba Kosot ("Legend of Four Glasses"; Berlin, 1790 and often reprinted), a work influenced by family tragedies and by the Night Thoughts by the English poet Edward Young. Pappenheim's book, which begins with sorrow and ends with exultation and faith, is written in poetic prose. The poet, on the one hand, writes in a classical, rationalist vein from the standpoint of the structure and spirit of the work, and he preaches and believes in reason and morality. On the other hand, he is influenced by the sentimentalism which had begun to affect contemporary literature, which cried out against fate and yearned for nature and night.
