Michael Friedlander's Jewish Family Bible (1884)

[Aharon Varady]

Does anyone on this list have a lead on a digital text of M. Friedlander's English Translation of the TaNaKh -- his Jewish Family Bible (1884)? This public domain work is the sourcetext which the Koren TaNaKh (1992) based their translation.

Does anyone have a copy they can scan or work at a university with a digital book scanner that they can use to scan a copy?

If so, please be in touch.

Thank you!

Aharon

I don't know if this will help anyone, but, here's the record on Google Books (they don't have scans, but they do have a record)

Title	Jewish family Bible containing the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Hagiographa, in Hebrew and English...
Author	Michael Friedländer
Publisher	J. and W. Rider, 1881

As far as I know, this translation is also the base text of Aryeh Kaplan's translation.

I stumbled upon this just today, years later... :-)

I own the Sinai reprint, and would be happy to lend it or give it away to anyone who wants to scan it.

Google Books now seems to have a scan, but it is not available for download in Israel. Many such books can be downloaded in the USA, however. If anyone does succeed in downloading the digital version at this link, please get me access to it as well:

I don't see that there is a scan available in the US either. Seth, what makes you think a scan was made?

The best thing to do would be to find a way to scan it in Israel. I'm willing to scan it here in the US, but I'm guessing I could find a copy at HUC. My problem has been getting the equipment together for a suitable scanner. Basically, it's a capital investment of $600 -- something I'd like to raise money for.
