Volume of issues of HaTzvi – periodical edited by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, years 3-5. Jerusalem, 1886-1889.
HaTzvi was a Hebrew periodical published in Ottoman Jerusalem in 1884-1915, in various formats and under various names (at one point the name was changed to HaOr, due to censorship restrictions). Defined in the sub-headline as a bi-weekly on Jewish affairs in the Land of Israel, for the revival of the language, for literature and for international news. HaTzvi is renowned for its battle against the Old Yishuv and its values, and served Ben-Yehuda as a forum for disseminating the values of Zionism and the revival of the Hebrew language. Many of the periodical's contributors were maskilim of the New Yishuv.
