RARE collection of scholarly papers in German and Hebrew published in memory of Rabbi David Kaufmann (1852-1899) - an eminent Jewish-Austrian scholar whose books and articles covered nearly every branch of Jewish science (as the 546 items listed in the bibliography published in this volume show), also known as one of the main teachers and the librarian of the Rabbinical Seminary of Budapest.
