17 volumes, containing most of the issues of the "Hamagid" weekly, first year to twenty-seventh year (1856-1883) and an additional volume of the "Magid Mishneh" supplement, first year (1879).
"Hamagid" was the first weekly in the history of the Hebrew press. It was published in the city of Lyck in Eastern Prussia [today, Ełk in north-east Poland], and later in Krakow and Vienna, during the years 1856-1903 (since 1893 it was published under the title "Magid LeYisrael"). The weekly published global and Jewish news items alongside poems, scientific articles and opinion pieces, serving as a platform for the best Jewish writers and intellectuals of the 19th century. The first editors of "Hamagid" were Eliezer Lipman Silberman and David Gordon; later it was edited by David and Dov Gordon and by Ya'akov Shmuel Fuchs.
Before us are 17 volumes with most of the issues of "Hamagid", since its first year to its twenty seventh, and a volume of issues of the "Magid Mishneh" supplement. The list of issues in each of the volumes will be sent upon request.
