translation of the Arabic manu-
script of this important Midrash
classic attributed to the great tala-
'udist David Iianagid (1212-1300).
David Hanagid, a grandson of
Maimonides, was leader for 62
years of the Jewish community in
Egypt. Like his father and grand-
fattier, he was a well-known physi-
cian and spent much time defend-
ing Maimonides' doctrines.
Dr. Katsh's Hebrew transla-
tion, edited with his own intro-
duction and annotations, was
taken front an unknown Judeo-
Arabic (Arabic in Hebrew let-
ters) manuscript found in the
Baron David Guenzberg Collec-
tion in the government library in
Moscow. Dr. Katsh visited the
Soviet Union five times in recent
years and succeeded in micro-
filming these rare manuscripts.
The manuscript deals with a
commentary on the biblical book
of Lamentations, and its existence
was unknown until Dr. Katsh dis-;
covered it. The three volumes of
the Midrash reflect. much of the
history of the Jews in Egypt dur-
ing the time that the descendants'
of Maimonides were the leaders of
the community. They also deal;
with the relationship between the:
Jews and Moslems during the 14th
Century.
in 1907, and after two years of
class football, joined the varsity.
A halfback, Magidsohn scored both
touchdowns as Michigan ended
Penn's 23-game winning streak,
12-6. Walter Camp made him a
second team All-America in 1909.
while many other sources riamcd
him to the first team in 1910.
Magidsohn became a well-known
football official. He worked all
the top attractions including the
Rose Bowl and the College All-
Star game.
