summary

The only book published by an unusual printing partnership of six. According to Yaari (Const. p. 51), the consortium broke up due to acrimony between the large number of partners HOLD FOR FUTURE: Grammarian, scholar and Bible exegete Solomon Dubno (1738-1813), one-time collaborator with Mendelssohn in the Bi'ur project, amassed a library of some 2,000 books and 100 manuscripts. Encouraged by his teachers and prominent Rabbis he later abandoned a modernist agenda. He died penniless, having invested all his earnings in his beloved books and manuscripts which were subsequently sold at auction to support his family. See EJ, Vol. VI, cols. 251-2 and D. Kaminatsky, Yeshurun, vol. ....
