The "Israelite Bible" by the rabbi and philosopher Ludwig Philippson (1811–1889) shaped Jewish life in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is an independent and unique translation that conveys the word choice and tonal quality of the Hebrew original into a fluid German style. On the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the translator's death, the Abraham Geiger College at the University of Potsdam presents a carefully revised new edition. The three-volume set includes the five books of Moses and the prophetic readings for the Sabbath and festival days (Volume 1), the Prophets (Volume 2), and the Writings (Volume 3). Content of Volume 3 – The Writings: Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Ruth, Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, 1/2 Chronicles.
