(AMERICAN JUDAICA)
Sulzberger, Judge Mayer (1843-1923). Group of thirteen Autograph and Typed Letters Signed, written to and from Sulzberger. Texts in English, German, and Hebrew.
1890-1910
Includes: * Two letters from financier Jacob H. Schiff, one of which recommends the philosopher Solomon Joseph Silberstein (1845-1919). Schiff writes: “few of our generation can appreciate [him], but you do and I do, and I think we are the happier for it.” * A letter from Silberstein himself, who portrays himself as a suffering, aged scholar who cannot abide his poverty anymore. He closes his dramatic plea by citing Psalms, “Cast me not off in the time of my old age…” * Three letters from Dr. Charles David Spivak (1861-1927), renowned to medical history as a key fighter of tuberculosis, but to Sulzberger, a correspondent on the topic of medicine in the Talmud. * Letters from Lucien Wolf, Asher Isaac Mayers, Lewis Dembitz and Abraham Cahan.
