Pages of manuscript sermons laid in to first free-end of the volume (circa 1840-1860).\n\nFrom J.E. 1906 (I. Singer):\n\nPLESSNER, SALOMON:\nGerman preacher and Bible commentator; born at Breslau April 23, 1797; died at Posen Aug. 28, 1883. Having lost his father when very young, Plessner had to support his mother and himself. He engaged in business, but found time to study Hebrew, rabbinics, and German, under Wessely's influence. At the age of seventeen Plessner began to study Wessely's Hebrew translation of the Apocrypha, resolving to continue the translation himself. He indeed published at Breslau in 1819 his Hebrew translation of the Apocryphal additions to the Book of Esther, under the title \"Hosafah li-Megillat Ester,\" with a literary-historical introduction. At the same time he became known as an eloquent preacher. Many of his sermons were published, among them his funeral oration on the death of Abraham Tiktin, bearing the Hebrew title \"Zeker Ẓaddiḳ li-Berakah\" (Breslau, 1821).\n\nA powerful party of antagonists worrying Plessner beyond endurance on account of his outspokenness, he left Berlin and settled at Posen (1843), where he was active as a preacher for forty years. In Posen Plessner preached chiefly at the Neuschul. During his residence in that city he published the following works: \"Shay la-Mora\" (Posen, 1846), poem in honor of Moses Montefiore; \"Shire Zimrah\" (Berlin, 1859), poems composed on the occasion of the completion of the publication of the Talmud by the Talmud society Ḥebrat Shas; \"Shire Zimrah\" (ib. 1865), Hebrew poems composed for the celebration of the one hundred find fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the society of mohelim.\n\nAfter Plessner's death two collections of his sermons were published at Frankfort-on-the-Main: \"Sabbathpredigten\" (1884) and \"Festpredigten\" (1890)."; ; 100; ; "Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts"; "Ya'arot devash"; false; jlo:describedAt "https://footprints.ctl.columbia.edu/footprint/20082/"; dcterms:date "c. 1840? - c. 1860s"; foaf:depiction , , , , , , , , , .
