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. 1146–1240; 4875–85) as well as on Judeo-German and Yiddish (nos. 1241–1357; 4586–95) . … 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. “ (EJ 2008; Bibliography) . Subjects: Bibliography - Bibliography - Jewish literature. Bibliography - Bibliography - Jews.
