Book title

[Fred Blumenthal <xd2fabl...>]

I recently bought a book in bad condition at a used book sale (front cover 
missing) which has turned out to be a good source of religious melodies. I 
would very much appreciate help in determining the title, editor, date of 
publication, etc.  It's about half an inch thick in paperback, published 
by Hebrew Publishing Company on Delancey Street in New York, and on the 
back has advertisements for Moshe Nathanson's "Shireynu" and "Manginoth 
Shireynu."  It occurs to me that this might be "Manginoth Shireynu," but 
the advertisement says there are the words to 223 songs in "Shireynu" and 
their melodies in "Manginoth Shireynu."  This volume contains 226 melodies 
(sic), the music in manuscript, the titles printed in Hebrew, and the 
words in transliteration typed under the notes.  There are numerous songs 
that weren't familiar to me, some labeled "folkstune" (sic), some as 
"Palestinian" (so it's before 1947), some are by Nathanson, some by other 
composers, and some are unlabeled as to source.  Of particular interest is 
#181 on page 78, "Etz Zeh Alef," labeled "folkstune," but clearly the 
famous Mark Warshavsky song, "Oif'n Pripitchek."  Any help would be very 
much appreciated - is it simply "Manginoth Shireynu?"
