Li Bai known as Li Bo, courtesy name Taibai, was a Chinese poet acclaimed from his own day to the present as a genius and a romantic figure who took traditional poetic forms to new heights. He and his friend Du Fu were the two most prominent figures in the flourishing of Chinese poetry in the Tang dynasty, called the "Golden Age of Chinese Poetry"; the expression "Three Wonders" denote Li Bai's poetry, Pei Min's swordplay, Zhang Xu's calligraphy. Around a thousand poems attributed to him are extant, his poems have been collected into the most important Tang dynasty poetry anthology Heyue yingling ji, compiled in 753 by Yin Fan, thirty-four of his poems are included in the anthology Three Hundred Tang Poems, first published in the 18th century. In the same century, translations of his poems began to appear in Europe; the poems were models for celebrating the pleasures of friendship, the depth of nature and the joys of drinking wine. Among the most famous are "Waking from Drunkenness on a Spring Day", "The Hard Road to Shu", "Quiet Night Thought", which still appear in school texts in China.

In the West, multilingual translations of Li's poems continue to be made. His life has taken on a legendary aspect, including tales of drunkenness and the well-known fable that Li drowned when he reached from his boat to grasp the moon's reflection in the river while drunk. Much of Li's life is reflected in his poetry: places which he visited, friends whom he saw off on journeys to distant locations never to meet again, his own dream-like imaginations embroidered with shamanic overtones, current events of which he had news, descriptions taken from nature in a timeless moment of poetry, so on. However, of particular importance are the changes in the times through which he lived, his early poetry took place in the context of a "golden age" of internal peace and prosperity in the Chinese empire of the Tang dynasty, under the reign of an emperor who promoted and participated in the arts. This all changed and shockingly, beginning with the rebellion of the general An Lushan, when all of northern China was devastated by war and famine.

Li's poetry as well takes on new qualities. Unlike his younger friend Du Fu, Li did not live to see the quelling of these disorders. However, much of Li's poetry has survived. Li Bai, Li Po, Li Bo, Ri Haku have been all used in the West, but are all written with the same characters, his given name, is romanized by variants such as Po, Bo, Pai. In Hanyu Pinyin, reflecting modern Mandarin Chinese, the main, colloquial equivalent for this character is Bái; the reconstructed version of how he and others during the Tang dynasty would have pronounced this is Bhæk. His courtesy name was Taibai "Great White," as the planet Venus was called at the time. Thus, combining the family name with the courtesy name, his name appears in variants such as Li Taibo, Li Taibai, Li Tai-po, among others, he is known by his, or pen-name Qīnglián Jūshì, meaning Householder of Azure Lotus, or by nicknames "Immortal Poet" (Poet Transcendent. The Japanese pronunciation may be romanized as "Ri Haku"or "Ri Taihaku"; the two "Books of Tang", The Old Book of Tang and The New Book of Tang, remain the primary sources of bibliographical material on Li Bai.

Other sources include internal evidence from poems by or about Li Bai, certain other sources, such the preface to his collected poems by his relative and literary executor, Li Yangbin. Li Bai is considered to have been born in 701, in Suyab of ancient Chinese Central Asia, where his family had prospered in business at the frontier. Afterwards, the family under the leadership of his father, Li Ke, moved to Jiangyou, near modern Chengdu, in Sichuan, when the youngster was about five years old. There is some mystery or uncertainty about the circumstances of the family relocations, due to a lack of legal authorization which would have been required to move out of the border regions if one's family had been assigned there. Two accounts given by contemporaries Li Yangbing and Fan Chuanzheng state that Li's family was from what is now southwestern Jingning County, Gansu. Li's ancestry is traditionally traced back to Li Gao, the noble founder of the state of Western Liang; this provides some support for Li's own claim to be related to the Li dynastic royal family of the Tang dynasty: the Tang emperors claimed descent from the Li rulers of West Liang.

This family was known as the Longxi Li lineage. Evidence suggests that during the Sui dynasty, Li's own ancestors, at that time for some reason classified as commoners, were forced into a form of exile from their original home to some location or locations further west. During their exile in the far west, the Li family lived in the ancient Silk Road city of Suiye (Suyab, now an archeological site in present-day Kyrgyzstan, also in Tiaozhi, a state near modern Ghazni, Afghanistan; these areas were on the ancient Silk Road, the Li family were merchants. Their business was quite prosperous. In one hagiographic account, while Li Bai's mother was pregnant with him, she had a dream of a great white star

The Przemyśl New Synagogue known as the Scheinbach Synagogue was an Orthodox synagogue in Przemyśl, Poland. Since World War II, the synagogue, still standing, has been used as the Ignacy Krasicki Przemyśl Public Library. Construction on the began in 1910 and was completed in 1918 after delays caused by the First World War; the spacious, high-ceilinged building survives, although Communist-period renovations stripped so much of the exterior detail that it presents an appearance in marked contrast to the building shown in old photographs. The synagogue is a free-standing building in a blend of Rundbogenstil and Classical styles with eclectic decoration, it was designed by architect Stanisław Majerski. The elaborate interior decoration once featured Biblical scenes and scenes of Eretz Israel painted on the walls and ceiling. In its incarnation as a public library, the building has a sedate and functional interior with bookshelves and walls painted white; the synagogue had a notable set of stained glass windows.

The windows and paintings were by a Jewish Przemyśl artist named Adolf Bienenstock, a graduate of the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts. Kraków, like Przemyśl, was part of Austrian Galicia. Bienenstock, who taught art at the Przemyśl Gymnasium, had studied under the notable Polish artist Józef Mehoffer; the interior reflects the influence of the Young Poland movement. Young Poland was the Polish version of the jugendstil movement; the synagogue was used as a stable by the German army during World War II used as a textile factory under the Communist post-War government before being turned into a library in the 1960s.
