Jacobi Library |
|
Dr. Paul Jacobi bequeathed his private library to the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem. It contains some 12,000 works and reflects his extraordinarily wide-ranging interests not only in the field of genealogy, but also in the areas of archaeology, philosophy, art, poetry, literature, history, sociology, ethnography and more. More than 1,000 titles are relevant to
Jewish genealogy and genealogical research. Broadly speaking, they
are divided in almost equal parts between works in Hebrew and in
other languages (mainly German but also English, Spanish and French).
These again sub-divide into three main categories: (i) encyclopaedias
and atlases; (ii) family histories and biographical portraits; and
(iii) works on Jewish and European history and culture. |
