Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. In Hebrew. xiv, (2), 175 pages. 242 x 174 mm. Wilhelm Bacher (Hungarian: Bacher Vilmos)? Benjamin Ze'ev Bacher (12 January 1850 - 25 December 1913) was a Jewish Hungarian scholar, rabbi, Orientalist and linguist, born in Lipto-Szent-Miklos, Hungary (today Liptovsky Mikulas, Slovakia) to the Hebrew writer Simon Bacher. Wilhelm was himself a prolific writer, authoring or co-authoring approximately 750 works. He was a contributor to many encyclopedias, and was a major contributor to the landmark Jewish Encyclopedia throughout all its 12 volumes (Dotan 1977). Although almost all of Bacher's works were written in German or Hungarian, at the urging of Hayyim Nahman Bialik many were subsequently translated into Hebrew by Alexander Siskind Rabinovitz.
