תיאור הספר

EXTREMELY RARE TWO VOLUMES featuring parts 1-14 of a series of 21 issues of the translated "Wissenschafltiche Volksbücher", a popular science publication compiled by Jewish-German journalist and reformer Aaron Bernstein. The series was translated to Hebrew in the elegant style of the Haskalah movement by Jewish-Polish journalist David Frischmann, in order to provide modern scientific knowledge to Jewish readers who could not read in European languages. The books include practical knowledge and advice based on contemporary understanding natural history, physics, chemistry, biology, psychology and medicine. [BOTH VOLUMES]: 200x130mm. [71+77+70+80+70+62+64] + [72+52+68+48+62+56+48] pages. Black board Hardcover. Cover worn, bumped and detached. Cover edges bumped. Front cover of volume 1 missing. Spine missing. Some page edges slightly bumped. Pages browning and slightly age-stained. [SUMMARY]: Despite the external damage it has sustained, this rare series of early popular science books in Hebrew is in good reading condition.
