1853 CE

The first Hebrew novel, Ahavat Ziyyon (”The Love of Zion”, 1852), by Abraham Mapu, is a florid Romantic idyll set in the days of the prophet Isaiah, in which Mapu, like all Haskala writers, employs phrases culled from the Bible and adapted to the thought the writer wishes to express.

A teacher of religion and German, Mapu is an influential advocate of the Haskala.
