ADRIS Newsletter

Developed from reading lists for a Boston University undergraduate course, this is a comprehensive but not exhaustive bibliography of the city of Jerusalem from ancient times to the present. Biblical, Jewish, Christian, Moslem, and modern periods are amply covered in entries whose format includes author, title, publisher, and copyright, but no annotations. Entries are primarily in English, although a few other Western languages and translations from the Hebrew are also used. An excellent bibliography that should be purchased by academic and seminary libraries but is too specialized for public library collections. Robert A. Silver, Shaker Heights P.L., Ohio
