# The Legends of the Jews — Volume 4

By Louis Ginzberg.

"The Legends of the Jews — Volume 4" by Louis Ginzberg is a compilation of biblical legends published between 1909 and 1938. This fourth volume covers the period from Joshua to Esther, drawing from aggadah found in the Mishnah, Talmud, and Midrash. Originally written in German and translated by Henrietta Szold in 1913, it synthesizes centuries of non-legal Jewish traditions into a chronological narrative. The work has influenced legal debates and inspired artists while being celebrated as both pleasurable reading and meticulous scholarship. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
