Summary
This book was first conceived by Dov Zigler in the mid-2000s. It was catalyzed by the rediscovery of Mordechai Beham’s draft of the Declaration of Independence by Professor Yoram Shachar of IDC Herzliya. Professor Shachar produced clean manuscripts of Beham’s work, published them, compiled along with them other drafts of the Declaration of Independence derived from a variety of sources, and traced the historical path of their authorship and strands in the text. Absent Shachar’s work, this book might never have been written.
