[75] This is the name given by Gottlober in his _Sichrōnes_, in _Jüd.
Volksbib._, Vol. I. p. 255, for the author of the 'Columbus,' but it
appears that it was Günsburg who wrote it in Hebrew; and as in the
Judeo-German translation the translator speaks of having translated
this work from his Hebrew form, it is likely that Günsburg ought to
be substituted for Hurwitz. There are four copies of that work in the
Harvard Library. Two of them are late remodellings; the other two have
no title-pages and seem to have had none, so that I cannot ascertain
the dates of their printing.
[76] J. B. Levinsohn, _Die hefker Welt_, in _Jüd. Volksbib._,
Vol. I. pp. 133-147. His biography is given in the same place, by
B. Natansohn, on pp. 122-132. Both together are to be found in
Natansohn's _Die papierne Brück'_ (_q.v._).
[77] For review of his works see O. Lerner, _Kritičeskij razbor
pojavivšichsja nedavno na evrejsko-německom žargoně sočinenij I.
Aksenfelda_, etc., Odessa, 1868, 8vo, 15 pp.
[78] She was very fond of Jean Paul Richter, and it is not at all
impossible that the peculiar humor contained in her husband's books
is due to a transference of that author's style to the more primitive
conditions of the Judeo-German novel. His was a gifted family: one of
his sons became an artist, the other a famous professor of medicine at
Paris.
[79] A. M. Dick, _Der erster Nabor_, etc., Wilna, 1871.
[80] Short biography in _Sseefer Sikorōn_, p. 97.
[81] For fuller information on the life and works of Abramowitsch see
his autobiography in _Sseefer Sikorōn_, pp. 117-126; see also the
references in the _Sistematičeskij ukazatel'_, p. 286, Nos. 4663-4669,
of which No. 4665 is the most important.
[82] Translated into Russian by Petrikovski.
[83] Reviews of this work are in _Jüd. Volksblatt_, Vol. VIII.
(Beilage), pp. 1385-1396, by J. Levi; and _Voschod_, 1889, Nos. 1, 2,
4, by M. G. Morgulis.

II. pp. 7-93; _Jüd. Volkskalender_, Vol. III. pp. 53-64.

[90] His name does not appear on any of the editions of his comedy.
Early in the seventies he had turned his work over to Wollmann for
publication; the latter surreptitiously published it over his own
initials.
[91] Short mention in _Sseefer Sikorōn_, p. 26; necrology in
_Hausfreund_, Vol. III. p. 312.
