Kol Mevasser

Kol Mevasser (Yiddish: קול מבשר) was a Yiddish-language periodical that appeared from October 11, 1862 into 1872.^[1]^[2] It served as a supplement to the Hebrew weekly HaMelitz, providing scientific information in a Western style.^[3] It is considered by Sol Liptzin and others to be the most important early Yiddish-language periodical (although by no means the first: the short-lived Die Kuranten in Amsterdam predated it by centuries).^[1]
