Chapters on Jewish Literature is a survey of the period from the fall of Jerusalem in ad 70 to the death of the Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. After teaching for several years at Jews' College, London, Abrahams was appointed reader in Talmudics (rabbinic literature) at the University of Cambridge, a post he retained until his death. Although of strict Orthodox upbringing, Abrahams was among the founders of the Liberal movement, an Anglo-Jewish group that stressed the universality of Jewish ethics, minimized ritual and custom, and originally eschewed Zionism.

Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXV Moses Mendelssohn Mendelssohn's German Translation of the Bible--Phaedo--Jerusalem--Lessing's " Nathan the Wise."' Moses, the son of Mendel, was born in Dessau in 1728, and died in Berlin in 1786. His father was poor, and he himself was of a weak constitution. But his stunted form was animated by a strenuous spirit. After a boyhood passed under conditions which did little to stimulate his dawning aspirations, Mendelssohn resolved to follow his teacher Frankel to Berlin. He trudged the whole way on foot, and was all but refused admission into the Prussian capital, where he was destined to produce so profound an impression. In Berlin his struggle with poverty continued, but his condition was improved when he obtained a post, first as private tutor, then as bookkeeper in a silk factory. Berlin was at this time the scene of an intellectual and aesthetic revival dominated by Frederick the Great. The latter, a dilettante in culture, was, as Mendelssohn said of him, a man "who made the arts and sciences flourish, and made liberty of thought universal in his realm." The German Jews were as yet outside this revival. In Italy and Holland the new movements of the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries had found Jews well to the fore. But the "German" Jews--and this term included the great bulk of the Jews of Europe--were suffering from the effects of intellectual stagnation. The Talmud still exercised the mind and imagination of these Jews, but culture and religion were separated. Mendelssohn in a hundred places contends that such separation is dangerous and unnatural. It was his service to Judaism that he made the separation once for all obsolete. Mendelssohn effected this by purely literary means. Most reformations have been at least aided by moral a...

Short History of Jewish Literature opens with the fall of Jerusalem in the year 70 of the Christian era, and ends with the death of Moses Mendelssohn m1786. Thus the period covered extends over more than seventeen centuries. Yet, long as this period is, it is too brief. To do justice to the literature of Judaism, it is clearly necessary to include theB ible, the greatest and most abiding expression of the Jewish genius. But several considerations induced the writer to exclude from this outline the Hebrew Bible, the A pocrypha, the writings of Alexandrian Jews such Philo, and the whole of theN ew Testament. Within the limits of space available it was not possible to do justice to these subjects. Nor was it necessary. In a larger work which the writer has in preparation, theL iterary History of the Jewish People will be told more completely, and the branches of Jewish literature passed over here will there receive due attention.

These twenty-five short chapters on Jewish Literature open with the fall of Jerusalem in the year 70 of the current era, and end with the death of Moses Mendelssohn in 1786. Thus the period covered extends over more than seventeen centuries. Yet, long as this period is, it is too brief. To do justice to the literature of Judaism even in outline, it is clearly necessary to include theB ible, the A pocrypha, and the writings of Alexandrian Jews, such asP hilo. Only by such an inclusion can the genius of the Hebrew people be traced from its early manifestations through its inspired prime to its brilliant after-glow in the centuries with which this little volume deals.
