Biography
[edit]Yehoshua Ḥana Rawnitzki was born to a poor Jewish family in Odessa in 1859. He began his journalistic career in 1879, by contributing first to Ha-Kol, and then to other periodicals.[1] He was the editor and publisher of Pardes, a literary collection best known for publishing Hayim Nahman Bialik's first poem, "El ha-Tzippor," in 1892. With Sholem Aleichem (under the pseudonym Eldad), Rawnitzki (under the pseudonym Medad) published a series of feuilletons entitled Kevurat Soferim ("The Burial of Writers").[1] From 1908 through 1911, Rawnitzki and Bialik published Sefer Ha-Aggadah ("The Book of Legends") a compilation of aggadah from the Mishnah, the two Talmuds and the Midrash literature.[2]
Rawnitzki moved to Palestine in 1921, where he took part in the founding of the Dvir publishing house.[3] He died there in May 1944.
