Medieval Hebrew
\"FEATURING"
The Midrash
[1917]
This is an an etext of an early 20th Century anthology of translations of Medieval Hebrew religious texts.
This is of interest because of the (abridged) translations of some Midrash texts, of which there are few public domain translations.
This also contains a fascinating Middle East travelogue by a Jewish traveller in the 12th Century C.E., which also has an informal census of the Jewish population in various areas.
This etext omits the section of the original book on the Kabbalah, which simply repeats an abridged copy of the material in The Kabbalah Unveiled, a complete etext of which can be found here
Update! (1/24/2003)
I've finally tracked down and posted the source of the unattributed Midrash extracts in this anthology: see Tales and Maxims from the Midrash.
