Description		    Overview of the Apocrypha by Abraham Meir Habermann, (1901–1980), bibliographer and scholar of medieval Hebrew literature. Born at Zurawno (Galicia), Habermann from 1928 was librarian at the Schocken Library in Berlin. He immigrated to Palestine in 1934 and served as director of the Schocken Library in Jerusalem until 1967. From 1957 he taught medieval literature at Tel Aviv University (professor, 1969) and taught at the Graduate Library School of the Hebrew University. He was editor of the department of bibliography (Jewish printers) for the Encyclopedia Hebraica, and the department of medieval Hebrew poetry for the Encyclopedia Judaica. Habermann began his study of medieval literature in 1925, specializing in the Ashkenazi piyyut from the time of R. Ephraim ben Jacob of Bonn. A prolific writer, his books include: Ha-Madpisim Benei Soncino (1933): Gevilim; Me'ah Sippurei Aggadah (1942); Ha-Genizah (1944); Toledot ha-Sefer ha-Ivri (1945); Ha-Piyyut (1946), Ateret Renanim, piyyutim and songs for Sabbath and festivals (1967): Ha-Sefer ha-Ivri be-Hitpattehuto (1968); Sha'arei Sefarim Ivriyyim (1969); and Toledot ha-Piyyut ve-ha-Shirah (1970), which is the first attempt at a survey of the history of Hebrew piyyut and poetry and its development in various cultural centers from post-biblical times to the Haskalah period. Habermann edited and compiled such diverse medieval works as: Piyyutei Rashi (1941); Selihot u-Fizmonim of R. Gershom Me'or ha-Golah (1944); Gezerot Ashkenaz ve-Zarefat (1946); Nizozot Ge'ullah, an anthology of redemption and messianism (1949); Mahberot Immanu'el ha-Romi (1950); Even Bohan of Kalonymus ben Kalonymus (1956); and studies of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Edah ve-Edut (1952), and Megillot Midbar Yehudah (1959). He served as the Encyclopedia Judaica departmental editor for Medieval Hebrew poetry.
