I told you many times that you are a miracol…thanks for the map… In 1978 Bukowina was already 29 “The Herzogtum Bukowina, with the capital Czernowitz”….Glaicia with Lemberg was also an Austrian Province, like Boehmen and Maehren….If they have not lost the WW1, may be, we all Czernowitzer are dreaming…..we were still Austrian…if..France,England and USA had better politicians and Hitler never would be cancellor….and if… to many “IF” for dreams…in Czernowitz… we had a word: “If my gandmum would have wheels, she would be a car….”Hedwig
Looks like Yiddish rather than Hebrew to me… See the bottom left of the map.So… which is it?jerome
This is sensational and…touching. The “highway” to Lvov ( not Lemberg) is “Derech Hamelech” = the Kingsway.The text in the box contains definitions of:* 1 degree on the map* 1 METER* Longitude* LatitudeThe artist -geographer is Avigdor Yakob Halevy Horowitz-MeisilschThanks,Irene
The text is in beautiful Hebrew.Only, the names Galizien , Wolhynien and Siebenbuergen have a Yiddish orthography because of the .The artist wrote also that he engraved the map ( copper-engraving?).Irene
(Something happened to the phrase )…because of the German “e” in these words.Irene
Please tell us more about the map. Where did you find it? Are there more maps like this one that would cover the area to the northeast (i.e. Volhynia) or others nearby areas?Emily
This map and others have been published at least 5 years ago in:http://www.scholemandfriends.com/Bukowina/Bukowina.htmthey are from: http://www.mandelbaum.de/
I bought one in Kraków, several years ago, I think at the Austeria book store.
