Description: Title Tefillah le-Moshe Author [Only Ed.] Michael Levi Rodkinson City Pressburg (Bratislava) Publisher Lowy & Alkalay Publication Date 1883 VG CONDITION, CLOTH COVERS, UNSUAL FOR THIS VOLUME, THE PAGES ARE NOT BRITTLE AND PERFECTLY USABLE Only edition. xx, 152 pp., 217:145 mm., Tract on the history of tefillin and it sources by Michael Levi Rodkinson. Tefillah Le-Moshe (Prayers of Moses) attacks traditional beliefs concerning Passover and tefillin. The book begins with a half-title page followed by German and Hebrew title pages. The Hebrew title page describes it as tracing the history of tefillin from its inception by the Sanhedrin in Yavneh in 800-3790 from the creation, to the time of R. Moses of Coucy (4996 = 1335) who was responsible for its spreading throughout Israel. It describes Rodkinson as editor of ha-Kol, Kol le-Am, and ha-Meassaf. The verso of the title page describes the contents, followed by a dedication to R. Solomon ben Israel Feingberg, which is repeated on the verso in German. There are prefatory remarks from Rodkinson, letters to him from Prof. Dr. M. Lazarus, Drt. S. Rubin, and others, a detailed table of contents, errata, and then the text, set in a single column in square letters. Michael Levi Rodkinson (1845-1904) was a colorful individual, regarded as a thorough scoundrel by many. He was hated, and despised by individuals such as Ephraim Deinard and R. Joseph Kohen-Zedek (1827-1903), who attacked him in writing, and embraced by others, such as Dr. Isaac Mayer Wise, (1819-1900) President of Hebrew Union College, and, from 1889 to his death, president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis. Rodkinson was the scion of a distinguished Hassidic family who became a radical proponent of haskalah at an early age. He was a prolific writer. He is best remembered for his New Talmud, an early and poor translation of the Babvylonian Talmud into English. He collected, wrote, published, and perhaps fabricated, Hasidic tales, as noted above, and was, as the editor of Hebrew journals, among the pioneers of the Hebrew press, and the author of numerous monographs.
