Moritz Steinschneider
Steinschneider wrote with ease in German, Latin, French, Italian, and Hebrew; his style was not popular, intended only "for readers who know something, and who wish to increase their knowledge"; but, curiously enough, he did not hesitate to write, together with Horwitz, a little reader for school-children, "Imre Binah" (1846), and other elementary school-books for the Sassoon School of the Bene Israel at Bombay. In 1839 he wrote "Eine Uebersicht der Wissenschaften und Künste welche in Stunden der Liebe nicht uebersehen sind" for Saphir's "Pester Tageblatt," and in 1846 "Manna," a volume of poems, adaptations of Hebrew poetry, which he dedicated to his fiancée, Augusta Auerbach, whom he married in 1848.
