Tehilat ha-kesilim, o, Tsaṿaʼat Beʻor ben Ḥamor = Lob der Thoren, oder, Das neueste Testament eines glaubig Langoh's in 15 Abschnitten = Praise of fools
the testament of Beor son of Hamor
by S. Rubin
The book Praise of Fools, which was printed twice - in 1880 and 1910 - is an unusual satire/parody in Hebrew satiric literature. It is intended not only for certain circles or people in the Jewish context, but also has a universal character: it makes fun of and derides a long list of philosophers, writers, intellectuals and scholars and others, presenting them as useless, plagiarists and fools. All this is done in order to supposedly praise ignorance and stupidity and to propose finding within them security and peace. The book accorded to Rubin the title "the Jewish Erasmus," however, the introduction places the book within the extensive European "fool literature".
