Various Dovid Katz related Yiddish titles

Brooklyn born and Yeshiva of Flatbush educated Dovid Katz went on to receive a doctorate in linguistics at Columbia University for his thesis, Explorations in the History of the Semitic Component in Yiddish. Katz founded the Founding Instructor in Yiddish at the Oxford Centre for Postgraduate Hebrew Studies (OCPHS) [later the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies]. The Yiddish program was strong and healthy during his residence. He tried to establish a separate Institute for Yiddish but this failed with due to financial issues. 
         During his time at Oxford he published three volumes of Oksforder Yiddish. These were the first major publications of Yiddish scholarly articles in Yiddish published after the Holocaust (excepting the YIVO bleter). Oksforder Yiddish reminds one of the large anthologies of academic articles published by YIVO in Vilna and Berlin before the war. He published works that tried to establish standards for Yiddish language that would create a common spelling, grammar and stylistics. He also published several creative literary works under a pseudonym. All of these works exhibit similar aesthetics in their bindings and typography. Below we offer a number of them. All are currently available at the Hollander Books website.
