Curt Leviant includes literature that spans many genres, from fiction and poetry to legal, ethical, and midrashic works; from responsa and Biblical commentary to histories and letters. His brief introductions place the works and their authors in historical perspective. 606 $aHebrew literature$vTranslations into English 615 0$aHebrew literature 676 $a892.4/08 701 $aLeviant$b Curt$01804183 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958962103321 996 $aMasterpieces of Hebrew literature$94468997 997 $aUNINA
