[Heb-NACO] Shirim u-ma'amarot

[Yossi Galron]

Judith,
I did not see the book yet, but it seems to me that it is a compilation
from several sources. Strauss wrote in German and in his later years wrote
also Hebrew. As I see from bibliographic records of this book in Israeli
libraries, it looks as some of the poems were translated by Tuvia Rübner.
This volume includes previously published and unpublished material.
I wouldn't use Wintersaat in a 240, rather use Works. Selections.
