"Revivim", literary anthology, edited by Joseph Chaim Brenner. Lvov-Jaffa, 1908-1919.
Booklets A- F (complete set), bound together. Important literary anthologies edited and published by Brenner when he discontinued the publication of "HaMeorer". 96,83,167,[3],130,104 pp. 22.5 cm. New binding. Good condition. Stains and tears, mainly to first anthology (tears fastened with adhesive tape; tears with text omission to last page).
"In the summer of 1908 Brenner worked hard on the publication of the anthology Revivim. Whenever Brenner thought that the anthology hit an obstacle, whether for financial difficulties or since his friends did not hurry to send manuscripts, or facing printing problems, Brenner would announce that his final decision is to go at the end of the summer to Eretz Israel. When the crisis was over, Brenner used to announce that he had decided to postpone his trip. The anthology was delayed at the printing press and Brenner started to interfere, 'I realized that if I do not take this project into my hands it will never be published, and I was obliged to undertake all the production upon myself.' This declaration reflects a real situation and maybe expresses Brenner's tendency to take upon himself more and more missions. He was yearning for hectic activity which gave him a feeling of action but also the feeling that he is overburdened and persecuted. This was another expression of his love of suffering. Toward the end of August the first volume of Revivim was published and in September Brenner already worked on the second volume (Brenner, Life Story, Anita Shapira, Am Oved, 2008, p. 145).

"Bikurei HaItim", yearly of the Jewish Haskalah movement. Vienna: Anton Schmidt printing press, (1820-1831). A dozen issues (complete set).
Complete set of the yearly "Bikurei HaItim", yearly of the Jewish Haskalah movement, published in Vienna between the years 1820-1831. The founder was the poet Shalom Hacohen. At first it was published as a supplement to a Hebrew calendar but soon became an independent annual and a central forum for the movement's leaders in Austria, Galicia and Italy. Amongst the editors through the years were Shalom Hacohen, Moshe Segal Landau (grandson of "Hanoda BeYehudah", R' Yehezkel Landau), Shlomo Pragmanter, Yissachar Dov Schlesinger, Yitzchak Shmuel Ragio and Yehudah Yetles. The nature of this periodical changed during the years: at first it included literary material in Hebrew, poems translated from German and scientific articles in German (in Hebrew characters). The last volumes are dedicated mainly to articles in Hebrew, concerning education, the Hebrew language, Talmud and the Bible, history and to some extent actual matters. In 1831publication of the periodical was discontinued, probably due to financial difficulties. 12 volumes, 19.5 cm. General condition is good. Stains, damage to bindings. Ex-Libris labels.

"Halevanon, Michtav Iti Besfat Ever"(periodical in Hebrew), edited by Yechiel Brill. Mainz, 1871-1882.
Ten volumes of "Halevanon" issues of the years 1871-1882. (years 8, 10-17,19). "Halevanon" edited by Yechiel Brill, was of the first Hebrew papers in Eretz Israel. It was published intermittently, and not regularly, during the years 1863-1886 in Jerusalem, Paris, Mainz and London.
"Halevanon" was founded in Jerusalem by Yechiel Brill, Michal HaCohen and Joel Moshe Salomon and was considered the first paper of the "Ashkenazic-P'rushim" (mitnagdim) in Jerusalem. Following its foundation, a competing paper was founded in Jerusalem "HaChavatzelet" edited by Israel Frumkin and printed by Israel Bak representing the Hasidim and Sephardic Jews in Jerusalem. Competition between the papers was so fierce that a year after their foundation, in 1864, mutual transfer of information to the Turkish regime led to their closure.
A year later Yechiel Brill resumed the publication of "Halevanon" in Paris where it was published during the years 1865-1870, until the siege on Paris during the France-Prussia war, which led to its discontinuation. Later on it was transferred to Mainz where it was published during the years 1871-1882 as a weekly Hebrew supplement to the Jewish paper in German "Der Israelit". "Halevanon" continued to focus on matters concerning Eretz Israel. In 1882 the paper stopped being published for a long period of time due to Yechiel Brill's occupation with moving Jewish farmers from Russia to Eretz Israel, and the personal and financial crisis which he went through as a result. He attempted to renew publication of the paper in 1886, in London, where he published just several issues, but could not reach enough subscribers. Following the sudden death of Yechiel Brill in 1886, publication of "Halevanon" ceased altogether.
Total of 10 volumes, 33 cm. 50 issues in each volume (400 pp), except for the volume of the 19th year which includes 35 issues (282 pp) and the eighth year volume which contains 49 issues. Condition varies. Most of the volumes are in good condition, bound in new bindings. Tears to several leaves (restored with adhesive tape). First issue of 14th year and first issue of 15th year are missing and replaced by photocopies. Issues of eighth year are sewn together but not bound. Several detached leaves, numerous stains and tears.

Franz Kafka / Gesammelte Schriften. Herausgegeben von Max Brod. Berlin: Schocken, 1935; Mercy Sohn publishing. Heiner. Prague 1936-1937 seven volumes. First edition. German.
Complete writings by Franz Kafka, edited by Max Brod. Includes Kafka's biography composed by Brod. First four volumes were printed in Berlin in 1935 and the three last volumes were printed in Prague. Max Brod and Franz Kafka were close friends for many years. Kafka, who suffered of tuberculosis and expected his death, instructed his friend to destroy after his death all the manuscripts of his books which have not yet been published.
Brod who was appointed as executor of Kafka's will, took the liberty and published all of Kafka's writings after his death. Amongst the writings were the three novels "The Trial", "The Castle" and "The Man who Disappeared". Brod also published Kafka's diaries and composed his biography. In 1933 publication of creations by Jewish writers was forbidden in Germany. "Schocken" – Jewish Publishing House - was the only one to have a permit to publish Jewish writers, on condition that their books are sold only to Jews. At that time, Max Brod granted to "Schocken" the copyrights, through Dr. Schpitzer, for all of Kafka's writings. The first four volumes, published by "Schocken", were printed in Germany in 1935. Later, Kafka and Brod's names were added by the Nazi regime to the list of excommunicated authors. As a result the publishing house transferred part of its operation to Prague where the last three volumes have been printed. Seven volumes, 19.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Kafka's autograph is embossed on the bindings.
