Essays in honour of Zvi Peretz Chajes:
Meir Balaban - Letter of R' Chajes to Shir:
אודיעו כי השגתי רשיון מן הקיסר לעשות
Privatbriefing
מן למודי פילוסופיא וכבר עמדתי יום ה' החולף על הבחינה ב
University of Lemberg במעמד כל הפרופסרין והידראקטור בראשם
והשגתי ד' כתבי תעודה
Philosophy, Logic, Metaphysic, Ethics, ובכולן השגתי מעלת Eminence.
(Eminence is somewhat less then a full Doctorate. The letter was an attempt to seek reconciliation from Shir after a fight but this part appeared to Shir to be throwing salt on his wounds since Shir himself was prevented from recieving a Rabbinic post in Trieste for lack of this same degree - See Igrot Shir P. 258 )
Any relation between the title of the blog and Zevin's work?
ReplyDeleteI bought the new edition of Zevin's book at the same time as I started the blog.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent book. Highly recommended (You can find some articles of his at daat.ac.il)
