This Directory is intended to serve as a guide to the rich storehouse of Hebrew authors. Space limitations have imposed restrictions. Those who are included represent a first selection only; it was not possible to cover the entire range of writers working in the Hebrew language. It is our hope to update the Directory in future editions.
