<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello, thanks for the opportunity to
respond.<br>
<br>
I question the mapping of "he'arot" [alef] to "aphorisms". A
translation of "he'arah" is "illumination; clarification;
explanation". in other words, elucidation, whereas an "aphorism"
is a "a short pithy statement of truth/observation" (which, with
time, has often become a cliche.) A review of recently published
Hebrew works that have the phrase "he'arot ['ayin] ve-he'arot
[alef]" in the title yields books that are mostly (only?) works of
rabbinic commentary.<br>
<br>
Otherwise the list looks good to me. <br>
<br>
Thanks again and good luck, Jasmin<br>
