Product Description

If you can at all make use of a French-Yiddish/Yiddish-French dictionary, Niborski and Vaisbrot's Dictionnaire Yiddish-Francais comes highly recommended.

London Yiddish scholar Hugh Denman, writing for Mendele and UYIP (mailing lists), says it is now "undoubtedly the finest single-volume Yiddish dictionary in existence". Denman says further:
As I wrote to a friend recently, "Niborski and his co-author Bernard Vaisbrot (with the assistance of Simon Neuberg) have done exactly what many of us have been advocating for years. They have created a dictionary which combines the philological virtues of Weinreich with the breadth of vocabulary of Harkavy, Niborski's own dictionary of Hebraisms, Stutshkov's Oytser and material from the Groyser verterbukh."
