Lachmann, Robert. Gesaenge de Juden auf der Insel Djerba (Posthumous Works, II). Edited by Edith (Esther) Gerson Kiwi. Yuval Monograph Series, vol. 7. Jerusalem: The Magnes Press, The Hebrew University, 1978.
The original German version of the epoch-making monograph by Robert Lachmann (published originally in 1942 in English without musical examples and photographs) on the musical culture of the venerable Jewish community from the Island of Djerba, off the southern coast of Tunisia. Reaching far beyond this specific case, which served Lachmann as a kind of pilot project, the book has become a model that scholars may find applicable to other issues in ethnomusicology.
