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. Furthermore, information on published translations has been condensed in some cases, and works published in anthologies or literary journals have not been included. The writers in the Directory have been consulted as far as possible. We thank those who cooperated and apologize for any errors or omissions that have unwittingly occurred.

iTanakh is a classified directory of Internet resources for the academic study of the Tanakh (The Hebrew Bible). The site not only contains essays and exegesis on the Scriptural texts, but also sections on archaeology, biblical history, and ancient Middle-Eastern languages. Long indexes are provided for links to particular topics relevant to biblical study, and to articles discussing various theories and methods of biblical interpretation. Each index heading takes the user to a page of annotated links, mostly to external articles and materials.

Equally useful is the section on Buber's life and work, which consists of an informative overview of his works and main intellectual pursuits and achievements. Also available here is an extensive range of excerpts from Buber's works - a greater number of these are available in the German language version of the site than in the English

One of the best sections of this Web site displays reproductions and excerpts from Judaic treasures of the Library of Congress. It features some beautiful reproductions along with explanations of the works, textual excerpts and links to vocabularly and terminology that may be unfamiliar.
