Manuscript of the Poem "Yerushalaim Kiryat Hagazit" – Shaul Tchernichovsky
"Yerushalayim, Kiryat Hagazit…! (Bedarkey Kadmonim)". A poem handwritten by Shaul Tchernichovsky. Tel-Aviv, 1933.
In the poem "Yerushalayim, Kiryat Hagazit!"the poet praises the eternal city of Jerusalem, captured in the hands of strangers, and looks forward hopefully to the day when it will cease being the city of three religions and will be the city of its people only.
In the draft presented, on three pages, appear numerous additions and corrections in the poet's handwriting, and in several instances the version differs from the printed and well known version of the poem. Signed in the end "Shaul Tchernichovsky, Tel Aviv. 33" and ink stamped "Dr. med. S. Tchernichovsky". 3 leaves, 24.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Folding marks, creases and spots.
