Very Good English Original cloth bdg. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In English. [vii], 104 p. The Karaite literary opponents of Saadiah Gaon. The literary campaign that Saadiah, first among the Rabbanites, started against the Karaites, and whose external history I have on a former occasion attempted to trace, found the foe ready to join battle. There arose a complete array of Karaite scholars, who, either in special writings, or incidentally in the course of their works, repelled the attacks of Saadiah with energy. But they were not content to remain on the defensive. They speedily assumed an offensive attitude, and endeavoured, with varying degrees of success, to overthrow the arguments and proofs advanced by Saadiah in support of the Oral Law. A disagreeable element in the campaign is the personal abuse into which the controversy often degenerated: objective treatises are marred by regrettable recrimination. It must, however, be admitted that in this respect both parties sinned, although perhaps the Karaites sinned the more deeply. The controversy initiated by Saadiah's activity did not cease with his death. It was not confined to the Gaon alone, but drew within its range the whole of Rabbinism.

148 pages. Author's inscription and signature upon title page. Bookseller's rubber stamp inside front cover. Recaptures the bittersweet depression days in fifty short stories. The scene is a rural farm in the 1930s where the Hanneman family, with grace, good humour and affection, struggle to make ends meet. Author grew up during those years in the Ottawa River Valley as the youngest child in a warm, close-knit farm family. Some of the characters are real, some are not. While some stories are based on actual events, other come "mind-the-time" exchanges at family gatherings or from her mother's remembrances. Book
