[25] For stories of that period, cf. A. S. Isaacs, _Stories from the Rabbis_, London, Osgood (and New York, Webster), 1893, 8vo, 202 pp.; M. Gaster, _Beiträge zur vergleichenden Sagen-und Märchenkunde_, Bukarest, 1883, 8vo. Dr. B. Königsberger, _Aus dem Reiche der altjüdischen Fabel_, in _Zeitschrift des Vereins für Volkskunde_, Vol. VI., 1896, pp. 140-161; F. Baethgen, _Salomo in der jüdischen Sage_, in _Allgemeine Zeitung_, Nos. 151, 152, 181, 182 (Beilage). Other shorter articles on the same subject will be found in the _Urquell_, Vol. II. p. 209; Vol. IV. p. 76; Neue Folge, Vol. I. pp. 13, 14; Z. d. V. f. V., Vol. IV. p. 209; J. Trubnik, _Talmudische Legenden_, in _Jüd. Volksbib._, Vol. I. pp. 264-279. Of special interest are the discussions of Talmudical legends and fables with their western developments or imitations, by L. Dukes, _Übersicht der neuhebräischen Literatur weltlichen Inhalts in Prosa und Versen_, in _Israelitische Annalen_ (edited by Jost), 1839, No. 13, pp. 100 ff.; No. 17, pp. 131 ff.; No. 25, pp. 196 ff.; No. 31, pp. 244; No. 52, pp. 415 ff. Eisenmenger's _Entdecktes Judenthum_, Königsberg, 1711 (or Dresden, 1893), in spite of its bias, may be consulted for the legends; better than that is the English form of the same, _The Tradition of the Jews; or, The Doctrine of Expositions Contained in the Talmud_, etc., London, 8vo, (64) and 337 and 363 pp., the appendix of which has a _Translation, by Way of Abridgement, of Buxtorf's Latin Account of the Religious Customs and Ceremonies of the Jews_ (Vol. II. pp. 225-363). See also G. G. Bredow, _Rabbinische Mythen, Erzählungen und Lügen, nebst zwei Balladen der christlichen Mythologie im Mittelalter_ (2te Auflage), Weilburg, 1833, 16mo, 136 pp.; also C. Krafft, _Jüdische Sagen und Dichtungen nach den Talmuden und Midraschen, nebst einigen Makamen aus dem Divan des Alcharisi_, Ansbach, 1839, 16mo, 212 pp. [26] The Sambation is mentioned in _Eldad ha-Dani aus dem Stamme Dan_; see for this Steinschneider's _Jüdisch-deutsche Litteratur_, in _Serapeum_, Vol. IX. (1848), p. 319, No. 13. See also _Jüdische Litteratur_, by Steinschneider, in _Ersch und Gruber_, § X, A. 2. Other essays and stories are: D. Kaufmann's _Le Sambation_, in _Revue des Études Juives_, Vol. XXII. pp. 285-287, and _Der Sambation, eine etymologische Sage_, in _Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums_, 1893, May 20, p. 247; Meisach, _Sambation_, in _Jüd. Volksblatt_, Vol. VIII. (Beilage), p. 53, and (the same story) in his _Nissim we-Nifloes_, _q.v._
