JUDAISM AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT: A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SURVEY
Publishers cloth. 8vo. XX, 195 pages. 24 cm. First edition. Annotated bibliography of books and articles on Judaism and human rights. This reference provides a comprehensive survey of human rights in Judaism. It includes both theoretical discussions of the nature and substance of human rights and practical applications of that theory either by Jews or to Jews. While numerous dissertations and audio-visual materials focus on human rights and Judaism, the bibliography is limited to books and articles. The majority of the works have been written in English or Hebrew, but significant studies in other languages, chiefly French and German, have also been included. The volume contains more than 700 citations, each accompanied by a descriptive annotation. The book begins with an introductory essay that examines the basic concerns of the works that follow. The annotated entries are then presented in five chapters. The first chapter includes anthologies, references, and periodicals. The second chapter includes studies of human rights in the Bible and Talmud. The third chapter includes works on Jewish theories of human rights. The fourth chapter, broken down into smaller sections, includes works on Judaism and particular human rights. The fifth chapter contains entries for works on contemporary Judaism and human rights. The volume concludes with author, title, and subject indexes. (Publishers description) Subjects: Human rights - Religious aspects - Judaism. Jewish ethics. Judaism - Doctrines.

A CRITICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WRITINGS ON JUDAISM [TWO VOLUME SET]
Publishers cloth. 8vo. 804 pages. 24 cm. First edition. Two Volume set. Griffith's magisterial Critical Bibliography of Writings on Judaism creates a framework of relevance that can help students and scholars recognize major problems and disputations and gain appreciation for current advances in methodology and knowledge. It functions as a conceptual map that identifies areas thoroughly and highlights controversial issues that invite further research. The majority of the entries are in English, but works in Modern Hebrew, Yiddish, French, and German are included as necessary, and also as guides for advanced study. Until the advent of this work there was no comprehensive critical Judaica bibliography of use to both generalized and specialized interests. (Publishers description) Subjects: Judaism - History - Bibliography. Jews - History - Bibliography. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) - Bibliography. Judaïsme - Histoire - Bibliographie.

Publishers cloth. 8vo. 8, 286 pages. 25 cm. First edition. In Hebrew; with English title: Anshe sefer we-anshe maaseh; reflections on writers, scholars, bibliographers, printers and book-dealers. By Abraham Meir Habermann (19011980) , a bibliographer and scholar of medieval Hebrew literature. Born at Zurawno (Galicia) , Habermann from 1928 was librarian at the Schocken Library in Berlin. He immigrated to Palestine in 1934 and served as director of the Schocken Library in Jerusalem until 1967. From 1957 he taught medieval literature at Tel Aviv University (professor, 1969) and taught at the Graduate Library School of the Hebrew University. He was editor of the department of bibliography (Jewish printers) for the Encyclopaedia Hebraica and the department of medieval Hebrew poetry for the first edition of the Encyclopaedia Judaica. Habermann began his study of medieval literature in 1925, specializing in the Ashkenazi piyyut from the time of R. Ephraim ben Jacob of Bonn. A prolific writer, his books include Ha-Madpisim Benei Soncino (1933) : Gevilim; Me'ah Sippurei Aggadah (1942) ; Ha-Genizah (1944) ; Toledot ha-Sefer ha-Ivri (1945) ; Ha-Piyyut (1946) ; Ateret Renanim, piyyutim and songs for Sabbath and festivals (1967) ; Ha-Sefer ha-Ivri be-Hitpatte? Uto (1968) ; Sha'arei Sefarim Ivriyyim (1969) ; and Toledot ha-Piyyut ve-ha-Shirah (1970) , which is the first attempt at a survey of the history of Hebrew piyyut and poetry and its development in various cultural centers from post-biblical times to the Haskalah period. Habermann edited and compiled such diverse medieval works as: Piyyutei Rashi (1941) ; Seli? Ot u-Fizmonim of R. Gershom Me'or ha-Golah (1944; new printing, 2004) ; Gezerot Ashkenaz ve-? Arefat (1946) ; Ni? O? Ot Ge'ullah, an anthology of redemption and messianism (1949) ; Ma? Berot Immanu'el ha-Romi (1950) ; Even Bo? An of Kalonymus ben Kalonymus (1956) ; Studies of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Edah ve-Edut (1952) , and Megillot Midbar Yehudah (1959) . Shortly after his death, the Habermann Institute for Literary Research was created in Lod (Lydda) , Israel. In 1983 Z. Malachi published Yad le-Heman, a memorial volume in his honor.

Shunami, Shlomo.
MAFTEAH HA-MAFTEHOT = BIBLIOGRAPHY OF JEWISH BIBLIOGRAPHIES: SUPPLEMENT TO SECOND EDITION ENLARGED 1965
Publishers cloth. 8vo. XVII, 464, XVI pages. 25 cm. Supplement to Second Enlarged edition. In English with table of contents and preface in Hebrew (xvi p. At end) . The indispensable handbook today is S. Shunami's Bibliography of Jewish Bibliographies (1936, 1965; repr. 1969, with supplement) which also includes sections on Jewish and Modern Hebrew literature (nos. 11461240; 487585) as well as on Judeo-German and Yiddish (nos. 12411357; 458695) .
In 1975 Shunami published a supplement to the second edition of his Bibliography of Jewish Bibliographies (1965) . The 500-page supplement contains information on over 2, 000 bibliographies published between 1965 and 1975. In his introduction Shunami notes that this number compares with that for the first hundred years of the Wissenchaft des Judentums. He comments on the rapid growth of bibliographies relating to the Holocaust and to the State of Israel. On the other hand, the small number of entries related to Hebrew printing is a reflection of the decline of study of this subject with little extra interest having been aroused by the 500th anniversary of Hebrew printing. There is also a decrease in entries relating to private collections, reflecting a decline in major Jewish book collectors. Shunami also decries the shortage of Jewish bibliographers.

(Jt) Morais, Sabato; Julius H Greenstone; Samuel David Luzzatto
ITALIAN HEBREW LITERATURE
Publishers cloth. 8vo. VI, 244 pages. 24 cm. First separate edition. With essays on the writings of Shabbetai Donnolo, Nathan Ben Yehiel, Immanuel of Rome, Elias del Medigo, Azariah de Rossi, David Nieto, Samuel David Luzzatto, Philoxene Luzzatto; biographical sketches of Samuel Alatri, Isaac Artom, Allesandro Malvano, etc. By Sabato Morais; edited by Julius H. Greenstone; with a foreword by Henry S. Morais. Includes "A critical and hermeneutical introduction to the Pentateuch, " by S. D. Luzzatto: p. [93]-152. The author, Sabato Morais was an American rabbi; born at Leghorn, Italy, April 13, 1823; died at Philadelphia Nov. 11, 1897. The Morais family came originally from Portugal, being probably among the large number of Jews who fled thence from the Inquisition. At the time of Sabato's birth Italy was in the thick of her great struggle for freedom
he formed a close friendship with Joseph Mazzini; and that patriot's struggle for Italian freedom was warmly seconded by Morais.
In 1850, owing to the withdrawal of Isaac Leeser, the pulpit of the Mickve Israel congregation at Philadelphia, Pa. , became vacant, and Morais was an applicant for the post. He arrived in Philadelphia on March 17, 1851, and was elected April 13 following, the synagogue services in the interval being conducted by him.
When, in 1867, Maimonides College was established in Philadelphia, Morais was made professor of the Bible and of Biblical literature; and he held the chair during the six years that the college existed. For a number of years thereafter he felt the urgent need of an institution for the training of Jewish ministers on historical and traditional lines; and the declarations of the Pittsburg Conference in 1885 urged him to immediate action. After a considerable agitation of the subject he succeeded, in conjunction with a few others, in establishing (Jan. , 1886) the Jewish Theological Seminary at New York. He was at once made president of the faculty and professor of Bible, holding both posts until his death. Unquestionably the establishment of the seminary constitutes Morais' most lasting influence upon Judaism in America. The directors of that body have fittingly recognized his memory by naming the chair of Biblical literature and exegesis the Sabato Morais professorship. In 1887 the University of Pennsylvania conferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of laws, he being the first Jew so honored by that institution.
