The Dyeing of Purple in Ancient Israel 33 



dye-house founded by him was still in existence about the time 

 of the outbreak of the Great War. The tekelet of Radzin has 

 failed to obtain general acceptance, and its use is confined to a 

 small circle of a few thousand families, consisting of admirers of 

 the late Rabbi Leiner and of his son and successor. 



That his identification of the tekelet species is entirely 

 erroneous is conclusively shown in my work on Tekelet. 



At the conclusion of the lecture the sincere thanks of the 

 audience was conveyed to Dr. Herzog by the Chairman.
