Herder draws on his extensive knowledge of Hebrew literature and culture to provide context and insight into each piece, highlighting the unique qualities and contributions of the Hebrew tradition to the world of poetry.In addition to the poems themselves, Leaves of Antiquity also includes a detailed introduction by Herder, in which he discusses the importance of the Hebrew tradition and its impact on world literature. He also provides biographical information on some of the most important Hebrew poets, as well as a discussion of the historical and cultural context in which their works were created.Overall, Leaves of Antiquity is a rich and insightful exploration of the poetry of the Hebrew tradition, offering readers a deeper understanding and appreciation of this important literary tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
