At that time my library contained several hundreds of volumes of the best Judeo-G erman (Y iddish) literature, which had been brought together by dint of continued attention and, frequently, by mere chance, for the transitoriness of its works, the absence of any and all bibliographies, the almost absolute absence of a guide into its literature, and the whimsioalness of its book trade made a systematic selection of such a library a diificult problem to solve. Not satisfied with the meagre details which could be gleaned from internal testimonies in the works of the Judeo-G erman writers, I resolved to visit the Slavic countries for the sake of gathering data, both literary and biographical, from which anything like a trustworthy history of its literature could be constructed. A recital of my journey will serve as a means of orientation to the future investigator in this or related fields, and will at the same time indicate my obligations to the men and the books that made my sketch possible.
