The Library of Haskala contains 525 books in German and Hebrew identified by leading scholars as Haskala literature, with the persons who wrote, translated, printed, funded or are mentioned in them. The data comes from a German-Israeli research project (2004–2010) headed by Shmuel Feiner (Bar-Ilan University), Zohar Shavit (Tel Aviv University) and Christoph Schulte (University of Potsdam). Its database was published as haskala-library.net, hosted by the Judaica Division of the Frankfurt University Library; the site is offline now (archived by the Internet Archive from 2016 to 2025). Since version 2026-10-12, the dataset holds the whole database: persons, books with their bibliographical and material description, editions, prefaces, translations, the persons mentioned in the books and their roles, and the taxonomies (places, publishers, topics, languages, …), together with a description of its schema. Version 2019-07-01 held the persons only, enriched with GND data; it also includes 32 persons of the Haskala biographies of the University of Potsdam (haskala.net), which the current version keeps. ### The start page of haskala-library.net (last version) > This database contains 525 books in German and Hebrew identified by leading scholars as Haskala literature. The > database is hosted and run by the Judaica Division of the Frankfurt University Library. > > Contact: […] Please share any further information. > > The detailed bio-bibliographical information, presented here for the first time, was collected as result of a > collaborative research, headed by Profs. Shmuel Feiner, Bar Ilan University; Zohar Shavit, Tel Aviv University and > Christoph Schulte, Universität Potsdam within a joint German-Israeli Research Project in 2004-2010. > > Please note: for every book title only those fields containing information are presented. Contact today: the [FID Jewish Studies](https://www.jewishstudies.de/en/fid-jewish-studies/kontakt/) (the contact addresses of the start page are left out here). ### How the site presented the data From the archived pages (Internet Archive, 2016–2019) and the configuration in the database: - **Start page:** the text above and a tag cloud of topics. - **Books, Digital books, People, Places:** lists from A to Z, by Latin and Hebrew initial. Digital books are the books with a link to a digitised copy. Places also show a map of the cities with coordinates. - **A page for every term** of the taxonomies (topics, textual models, fonts, languages, publishers, cities, occupations, …), listing its books, 20 per page. - **Book pages:** the title and the main facts first (type of book, full title, whether the text is presented as an original, a translation or a new edition, its textual and cultural sources), then sections with jump links: Publisher/ Printing press, Editions, Book structure, Persons mentioned in book, Textual models, Catalog numbers, References and bibliography, Book producers (the persons with their roles), Prefaces (number, writer, role, title). Only fields with a value are shown; yes/no fields as "Yes"/"No"; terms, persons and places as links. - **Person pages:** Hebrew and German name, gender, dates and places of birth and death, occupations (roles in book production), VIAF id, and the related books. - No search form appears on the archived pages (a full-text search was configured in the database, but it is not known whether it was offered); editing was for logged-in editors only. The sections of the book pages are not stored in the database (they were part of the site's code). In the dataset, each field of a content type is described in `haskala-vocabulary.ttl.gz` with its label, help text and order.- identifier

Left out: user accounts, roles, sessions, logs, caches, site settings and the search server (personal data and credentials), the revision tables and indexes that repeat the content, and the tables that only run the site. url_alias keeps the three addresses of the editor accounts (users/<name>), which the generator does not read. The content (nodes, field data, taxonomies) is identical to Database/haskala_edit_2024-07-12.sql of the same repository, a reduced copy of this database; all nodes were migrated into Drupal on 2015-04-08/09 and not changed after. about.txt is research/content.txt at that commit, the text of the site's about page (hosting by the Judaica Division of the Frankfurt University Library; the German-Israeli research project 2004-2010).
