Detailed
Description		    Volume I of Twelve Minor Prophets with German translation in Hebrew letters and commentary (Be’ur) by distinguished German-Jewish scholars: Philippson (Arnswalde), Joel Brill, Josef Wolf, Salomon S. Lipman, and Israel Neumann. Each biblical book has its own title page followed by a dedicatory page and a label-title page. The general format is for the biblical text (in square vocalized letters) to be set facing the translation, in Vaybertaytsh (Judeo-German fonts), on the facing page, with the Be’ur below in rabbinic letters. This is part of the project initiated by Moses Mendelssohn, who translated the Pentateuch (1783) and several books of the Bible. Each book in the Minor Prophets has its own pagination.

The Order of the books in this volume, the translations, and commentary are as follows: Joel (Moses Philippson (Arnswalde)); Obadiah (Josef Wolf); Jonah (Joel Brill); Zephaniah (Josef Wolf); Zechariah (Salomon S. Lipman); Malachi (Israel Neumann)
