Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Day of Atonement: A New; Edition of the Festival Prayers With an English Translation in Prose and Verse The need for a new English translation of the Festival Prayers has been long felt, and has yet remained unsatisfied. Almost equally important was the necessity for producing an accurate and continuous Hebrew text. To carry out a consistent plan for the purpose of reproducing the Hebrew in strict conformity with the best authorities was in itself a labour involving prolonged and diligent research, whilst the difficulties in the way of accomplishing the task of translation appeared almost insuperable; they were due to the fact that the historical character of the work demanded special and widely different treatment for its separate parts. This applied peculiarly to the mediæval hymns, written, as they are, in different periods and in varying styles, coloured by the changeful environment of ages and frequently couched in obscure allusions to legends out of the vast storehouse of Midrashic lore. It has been the object of the translators to preserve as far as possible the characteristics of each portion of the original, and for this purpose the plan has been adopted of translating prose by prose, and verse by verse. The original metre and structure of the verse has been frequently adhered to. so that the worshipper might follow in the English version the traditional melodies in which the Hebrew is set. The general work of editorship has been discharged by Mr. Herbert M. Adler, M.A., LL.M. The prose portions of the Hebrew have been severally translated into English by Mr. Arthur Davis and Mr. Adler and by them the Hebrew text has been prepared.
