Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"The Legends of the Jews — Volume 1" by Louis Ginzberg is a compilation published between 1909 and 1938. This monumental work gathers centuries of Jewish biblical legends from the Mishnah, Talmud, and Midrash into a chronological narrative. Volume 1 spans from Creation to Jacob, weaving together ancient oral traditions and folklore that expand upon the biblical text. Originally written in German and translated by Henrietta Szold, this scholarly yet accessible collection preserves Jewish storytelling traditions that answer questions the Bible leaves unspoken.
