Half-title, title page, dedication to his brothers, motto (Eccl. 4:12)
How to read this page
Left: Lewysohn's German text (printed in Fraktur) as transcribed by Claude Opus 5.5; pp. 68 and 70 are checked by hand, pp. 69 and 71 are not (two Hebrew words on them corrected against the scan). The paragraphs are split where Lewysohn separates topics with a long dash. Right: an English translation by Claude Opus 5.5 (rules v5). Hebrew-script words are not transliterated; Arabic and Greek words show a transliteration when you point at them. Dotted words are abbreviations: point at them for the expansion, from a table reviewed by hand (table), added by a program after translation. “p. 69” links to the scan of that page. Numbers link to the footnotes below. Machine output: check the scan before you cite.
