EMANUEL GOLOMB (b. early 1870s)
He was born in Vilna, the son of the
writer and musician Zvi-Nisn Golomb.
According to Zalmen Reyzen, he wrote under the pen name “Evtseyn Golomb.” He composed several storybooks in Hebrew and
Yiddish, among them: Khad gadye (An only kid) and Shrekenes fun
hundert rendlekh (Fear of one hundred coins)—“two wonderful legends of the Passover
seder” (Vilna, 1893), 32 pp. With his
father, he compiled a biographical handbook entitled Ḥemdat yisrael
(Treasury of Israel) (Vilna, 1901-1903), 116 pp.—only the first three parts of
it appeared in print. He later lived in
Moscow where he published the journal Ogoniok (Little flame). Further biographical information remains
unknown.
