Meḳiẓe Nirdamim

Meḳiẓe Nirdamim

The Mekitze Nirdamim literally "awakening the slumbering", is a society for the publication of old Hebrew books and manuscripts that were either never published or long out of print. It was established first at Lyck, Germany, in 1864.

It was under the direction of Rabbi Nathan Adler, Sir Moses Montefiore, and Joseph Zedner (all 3 of London), Albert Cohn (Paris), S. D. Luzzatto (Padua), M. Sachs (Berlin), Eliezer Lipman Silberman (Lyck), and M. Straschun (Vilna).

It was re-established at Berlin in 1885 under the supervision of Abraham Berliner (Berlin), Moses Ehrenreich (Rome), Joseph Derenbourg and David Günzburg (Paris), S. J. Halberstam (Bielitz), A. Harkavy (St. Petersburg), Marcus Jastrow (Philadelphia), David Kaufmann (Budapest), and M. Straschun (Vilna). (Wertheimer?)
