New books

New in paperback

The Littman Library of Jewish Civilization, established in 1965, publishes scholarly works that explain and perpetuate the Jewish heritage. Following the guidelines laid down by its founder, it publishes works of scholarship that reflect objectivity, fresh research, and new insight, and that are as far as possible definitive in their field. The Library also publishes translations of contemporary scholarship originally published in other languages, as well as translations of Hebrew classics, so as to make the Jewish religious and literary heritage more accessible to English-speaking readers.
