<<FIRST COMPLETE TRANSLATION INTO DANISH OF THE HEBREW LITURGY.>> Scarce - a fire destroyed a great many copies shortly after its publication. A second edition was issued in 1858. “The father of Danish homiletics,” Darmstadt-born Abraham Alexander Wolff (1801-91) assumed the office of Chief Rabbi of Denmark in 1829, a position he served until his death.
