1 SUBJOINED IS A LIST OF SELECTED AUTHORITIES ON THE SUBJECT OF THE
      CHASSIDIM.—_Historical and Bibliographical Works_: Graetz (xi.
      including the polemical literature quoted in the Appendix), Jost,
      Peter Beer, M. Bodek (סדר הרורות הנרש, Lemberg, 1865), A. Walden (שמ
      תגרוליב הנדש, Warschau, 1864), Finn (קרוה נאמנה, Wilna, 1860), D.
      Kahana (אצן אוסל in the periodical השחר, iv.), Zederbaum (כחר כדונה,
      Odessa, 1868). _Essays and Satires_: T. Erter (הצפה, Wien, 1858), S.
      Szantó (_Jahrbuch für Israeliten_, p. 108‐178, 1867), A. Gottlober
      (in his periodical הברקר אור, iii.), L. Löw (Ben Chananjah, ii.),
      Rudermann (השחר, vi.), Rapoport (נחלת יחודה, Lemberg, 1873, p. 10),
      Fröhlich (המדרין, Warschau, 1876, p. 63 _seq._), S. Maimon
      (_Autobiographie_, Berlin, 1792). Compare also the Hebrew novels by
      P. Smolensky, L. Gordon, M. Brandstätter, A. Gottlober and B.
      Horowitz (German). _Occasional references_ to the liturgy or the
      system of the Chassidim in the “Responses” of R. Ezechiel Landau,
      Moses Sopher, E. Flekeles and T. Steinhart, and in the works of
      Israel Samostsch, Salomon Chelma and Chayim Walosin. Compare also
      Zunz (_Gottesdienstliche Vorträge_, p. 477) and L. Löw (_Mannheimer
      Album_, Wien, 1874), Senior Sachs (התחיה, i. 61) and B. L. Zeitlin
      (הות קשה, Paris, 1846). The best book on the whole subject is E.
      Zweifel’s work שלום צל ישראל (Zitomyr 1868, three parts), which I
      strongly recommend to students. The books written by the Chassidim
      would amount to more than 200. They are catalogued by Bodek and
      Walden. I shall only draw the attention of the student to the works
      of Beer, Salomon Ladier, and Mendel Witipsker on one side, who
      developed the theory of the Immanence, and those of Nachman Braslaw
      and Melech Liezensker, who, on the other hand, carried the theory of
      Zaddikism to its utmost consequences. The student will find a fair
      collection of sayings and sentences arranged according to
      theological subjects in the books ררך המידים and לשן חכמים (Anon.,
      Lemberg, 1876).

    2 חסידים, “pious ones” (Ps. xxxvii. 28, lxx. 2, etc.). The reader is
      probably acquainted with the term from the Maccabean history (1
      Macc. ii. 42, vii. 13), in which the strict party, opposed to all
      Hellenistic influence, are called “Assideans” [R.V. “Hasidaeans”],
      Gr. Ἁσιδαῖοι.
