ALS signed “Henrietta Szold,” one page, 6 x 9.5, June 23, 1903, The Jewish Publication Society of America letterhead. Szold writes to Judge Mayer Sulzberger about correspondence she has received, including a manuscript “containing ‘a series of tales embodying in romantic form some of the most noteworthy passages in the early history of Jerusalem; that is, from its conquest by David to its first destruction.’ Do you wish to assign it to a Committee?” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, scattered creasing and docketing on the reverse lightly showing through.
It’s only fitting that Szold’s letter here would pertain to a manuscript, as at this time she was working in New York City as an editor, writer, and translator for the Jewish Publication Society. Among her tasks was translating the work of Judaic scholar Louis Ginzberg, who had recently arrived in the United States from his native Lithuania. As she entertained publication of the aforementioned romanticization of Jewish history, she also was embarking upon a five-year collaboration with Ginzberg on Legends of the Jews, a four-volume treatise that establishes him as one of the world's foremost talmudic scholars. A wonderful literary connection to Szold, part of the Jewish intellectual scene. RRAuction COA.
