He traded in precious stones and was so successful that he could afford to print over 20 books in limited editions. He corresponded with eminent Jewish scholars including Israel Davidson, to whom he wrote 107 letters, which he later published himself in 1933 (EJ 2007) . His books include works on Leon Modena, aggadah, wit and humor in rabbinic literature, and polemical tracts. SUBJECT(S) : Libowitz, Nehemiah S. , 1862-1939.
