Steinman, Eliezer [ed]. Ketuvim, weekly journal on questions of culture, literature and art, edited by E[liezer] Steinman, published by Agudat HaSofrim V'Hasifrut Ha'Ivrit B'Eretz Yisrael. Tel Aviv, 1926-1928. Hebrew. First and second year, issues 1-98.
Ketuvim was founded by Haim Nachman Bialik and edited by Eliezer Steinman; later, Avraham Shilansky joined the editing staff. "Ketuvim" served as the mouthpiece of the Hebrew Authors' Union where they published their works: Asher Barash, Ya'akov Fichman, Avigdor HaMeiri, Avraham Shlonsky, Esther Raab, Nathan Alterman, Avraham Chalfi and others. After a year, Ketuvim became sharply opposed to the leaders of the Authors' union and the union removed its patronage from the journal and founded "Moznayim". After the two editors Steinman and Shlonsky parted ways, the publishing of the journal ceased and Shlonsky began editing "Turim".
Two volumes, 49 cm, good condition. Damage to binding of first volume.
