1875-1943: Hebrew poert who wrote Poeta Magnus
Tschernichowsky (sometimes written Tchernichowsky or Tchernichovsky) published his first book of poetry in 1898, and studied medicine from 1899 through 1903 in Heidelberg. In Switzerland he did further study of pediatrics, which he practiced later in Russia and Palestine. For his work as military physician during the first world war, he was decorated by the Russian government. The remainder of his rather nomadic life was spent on writing, translating, editing, and some medical practicing, none of which afforded him an adqueate living:

As to my practice: some people don't know that I am a doctor; and those who know that I am a medical man imagine that I am getting rich on Hebrew literature; while those that ply the literary trade think that I am getting rich on medicine. he was a major hebrew poet

He died and was buried in Tel Aviv.

Tchernichowsky brought to his work an acute sense of folklore, and strove to expand the content and form of the Hebrew language in his descriptions of rural scenes from his homeland and of Jewish customs. From 1922 until 1931, Tchernichowsky lived in Berlin, where he devoted himself to translation and wrote some of his most fervent Zionist poems. In 1936, he signed a contract with the Schocken publishing house and moved to Jerusalem, where he would remain the rest of his life.
