Yiddish literature -- History and criticism
See also the bibliography of the subject in the
_Sistematičeskij ukazatel'_, pp. 211, 212 (Nos. 3137-3159). A large
number of superstitions, beliefs, etc., are scattered throughout the
Judeo-German literature: probably the most important of such works is
Schatzkes' _Der jüdischer Var-Peessach_ (_q.v._).
[36] For proverbs and the discussion of the same, see: M. Spektor,
_Jüdische Volkswörtlich_, in _Jüdisches Volksblatt_, Vol. VI. pp.
63, 95, 112, 128, 191, 304, 423, 488; I. Bernstein, _Sprichwörter_,
in _Hausfreund_, Vol. I. pp. 89-112, and Vol. II. pp. 1-49 (second
part); S. Adelberg, _Przysłowia żydowskie_, in _Wisła_, Vol. IV. pp.
166-187; M. Schwarzfeld, _Literatura populară Israelită ca element
etnico-psichologic_, in _Anuarul pentru Israeliţi_, Vol. XII. pp.
41-52; the same, _Evreii in Literatura lor populară sau Cum se judecă
evreii insusi, Studiu etnico-psichologic_, Bucureşti, 1898, 8vo, 37
pp. (_Anuarul pentru Israeliţi_, Vol. XIX. pp. 1-37). In connection
with the last two, though not strictly on Jewish proverbs, see
his _Evreii in Literatura populară Romană, Studiu de psichologie
populară_,--Anex, _Evreii in literatura populară universală, Tablou
comparativ_, Bucureşti, 1892, 8vo, 78 pp. (_Extras din Anuarul pentru
Israeliţi_, Vol. XIV. pp. 97-172). A large number of proverbs from
various Slavic localities are given in the _Urquell_: Vol. II. pp.
26, 27, 66, 112, 131, 163, 178, 196; Vol. IV. pp. 75, 76, 194, 212,
215, 256, 257; Vol. VI. pp. 33, 34, 69, 119-121; Neue Folge, Vol.
I. pp. 14, 15, 119-121, 172-175, 271-279; Vol. II. pp. 221, 222,
311-313, 338-340. For the proverbs of the German Jews, see A. Tendlau,
_Sprichwörter und Redensarten deutsch-jüdischer Vorzeit_, _als Beitrag
zur Volks-, Sprach-und Sprichwörter-kunde_, _aufgezeichnet aus dem
Munde des Volkes und nach Wort und Sinn erläutert_, Frankfurt a. M.
(1860).
[37] The older books on Eulenspiegel are given by Steinschneider
in the _Serapeum_, under Nos. 10, 288, and 388; in the _Urquell_,
there are a few stories on _Chelm_ in Vol. III. pp. 27-29, and Neue
Folge, Vol. I. pp. 345, 346. A large number is given by Segel in his
collection in the _Zbiór wiadomości do antropologii krajowej_, pp.
303-306.
