   The Book of Habakkuk, translated into German, with a commentary in Hebrew. The introduction also includes a topical summary of each chapter of the Biblical book.

Solomon Heymann Auerbach was a Hebrew scholar; born at Posen at the end of the eighteenth century; died there in 1836. He translated Habakkuk into German with explanatory notes (Breslau, 1821). He also collaborated in the translation of the Bible undertaken by Zunz, for which he furnished the translation of Ecclesiastes, on which book he wrote also a Hebrew commentary (Breslau, 1837).
