Yosef Haim Brenner, handwritten letter, addressed to A.D. Friedman. Jaffa, 1920.
The letter concerns a manuscript sent to Brenner for publication in "HaAdama", a literary periodical edited by Brenner, published as a monthly supplement to the bulletin of "Achdut HaAvodah".
"'Verses' of hygiene are not for 'HaAdama'. The manuscript is kept with me, and when something will be published for Yemenites, 'the ancient things' will be published there since it is adequate for them. The Ashkenazi workers - either these things are already known to them…or the style will not be understood by them since they are not great scholars of the Bible or Talmud". Leaf, 20.5 cm. Good condition. Horizontal folding mark and creases. Miniature tears at margins.
