Kinor Zion [Violin of Zion]. A selection of songs about Zion in Hebrew, from the scriptures through present times. Arranged and edited by “Tushia” publishing. In honor of the Fourth Zionist Congress in London. Warsaw, 1900. First edition. This book features the “HaTikva”, song authored by Naftali Herz Imber, in the original, full version, before it was altered to become the Zionist anthem.
This was apparently the first time it was printed in a songbook. Printed previously [only once before?] in a two-paged leaflet in 1896.
