S. Yabuda, Professor at the University of Madrid, for kindly help and suggestions in my endeavour t0 fix the Hebrew text. I desire, further, to record my thanks to my sister, Miss Emma Gollancz, formerly of Newnham College, Cambridge, for her unfailing devotion in the task of revising the proofs of the English portions of my works.
