Title: The Encyclopedia of Talmudic Beauties.
Printer/Publisher: None
Language: English
Notes: "It will be an anthology of adages, anecdotes, aphorisms, fables, legends, myths, parables, and so forth, of the ancient Hebrews." Cf. The Index (Toledo and New York), vol. 3 (1872), p. 407. At the time of this announcement, Rabbi Browne served a congregation in Evansville, Ind. His project remained an active one during his relocation to Atlanta, having developed into a two-volume set with some 400 advance subscriptions placed before the project was abandoned by the publisher in mid-production (in 1881?). See Janice Rothschild-Blumberg, "Rabbi Alphabet Browne: The Atlanta Years," Southern Jewish History, vol. 5 (2002), p. 34.
