Moving this page to new page "Abraham Yakhini"[edit]

This page in its current format was originally copied over from the Jewish Encyclopedia article of the same name.

I has always thought that the different apelling of the last name as "Ha-Yakini" by the JE, as opposed to the more common Yachini or Yakhini was actually due to Graetz's spelling of the name. However, to my own So t surprise, I have confirmed to today that Graetz's own original spelling of the name is actually "Yachini."

Scholem' spelling of the name is Yakhni, and so it is spelled also in the more modern Encyclopedia Judaica, on the article for it that was written by Gershom Scholem himself. So this is just a notification, that after preparing all the bibliographicas references to start editing this article, I intend to move it shortly to its renamed new page, which will be called "Abraham Yakhini." warshy ^¥¥ 18:21, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is pending verification that in the Hebrew version of Scholem's book his name is spelled indeed as

אברהם יכיני :

as I assume. If this is correct then the name of the new page will be "Abraham Yakhini" as written above, but the two additional spellings of "Abraham Yachini" and "Abraham Ha-Yakini" will also be given. warshy ^¥¥ 18:49, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have confirmed that the Hebrew spelling of the name according to Scholem in

Scholem, Gershom. Shabtai Tsevi veha-tenuah Ha-shabetait Bi-yeme hayav. Tel-Aviv :Am Oved, 1956.

is

אברהם יכיני

and so, choosing the simpler transliteration of Abraham Yachini, I will proceed to move/rename the page to "Abraham Yachini." warshy ^¥¥
