DICTIONARY OF JEWISH BIOGRAPHY

Dr Geoffrey Wigoder (Editor)

From Aaron to Zweig and Moses to Marx, here are nearly 1000 clearly written biographies of Jews who have left an indelible mark on humankind. This A-Z reference work includes figures from all fields: writers, philosophers, politicians, and Nobel Prize winners, among others. The Dictionary spans four thousand years of history, covering the Jewish community from Biblical times to the present day, but specifically excluding the living.

A special feature of the Dictionary is the use of boxed inserts to provide quotations or anecdotes about the subject of the biography. Each entry has at least one bibliographic item. The Dictionary is extensively illustrated with portraits and photographs, making it a truly fascinating and accessible reference source. The Dictionary of Jewish Biography is an invaluable resource of anyone interested in Jewish culture, biography and history – and in the history of humankind.
