Excerpt from The Hundred Greatest Men: Portraits of the One Hundred Greatest Men of History; Reproduced From Fine and Rare Steel Engravings In the preparation of the present work an attempt has been made to separate the facts of civilization into classes, and to gather together in each class the portraits of the few great leaders who, from the beginning of history down to the present time, have been its representatives. In one of these classes appear Homer, Dante, and Shakspeare; in another, Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon; in another, Archimedes, Galileo, and Newton. In each class - Poetry, Art, Religion, Philosophy, History, Science, Politics, Industry - from fifteen to twenty portraits, arranged in chronological order, and each portrait accompanied by a carefully written biography. There is a growing belief that no interest in the world can ever equal the interest felt in human beings. However much we may become absorbed in the study of facts and theories, and in the enjoyment of works of art, we must in the end ever turn with an eye of the deepest interest to the men who have illustrated these facts, propounded these theories, and given us these works. We always want the portraits of these we admire and venerate. There is no inspiration so powerful as that derived from the frequent study of a great example. Apart from these considerations, such a collection ought to make a fascinating and beautiful work, and also one peculiarly instructive; each book, in fact, presents virtually a special course of history, and this in the most vivid and graphic form. Book I. is a history of Poetry, Book II. a history of Art, and so on; while the eight classes taken together offer a complete history of mankind a picture of human progress in all its departments. This effect will be heightened by the introductions, which are intended to serve as links uniting the different biographies together.

Fables in Jewish Culture catalogues almost 400 Jewish scrolls and books from the collection of Jon A. Lindseth that contain animal stories with moral connections. Spanning six centuries, the books are in several languages, including Hebrew, Yiddish, Aramaic, Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) and Judeo-Persian. They were printed all over the world and include animal stories from the Hebrew Bible and other religious texts as well as translations of secular stories, such as Aesop's fables in Hebrew. The catalogue is divided into four sections—Biblical works, rabbinic works, medieval works, and postmedieval works—and each entry is illustrated with a page or more from the work, a detailed description of the characteristics and publishing history of the work, and description of the fables contained therein, along with a discussion of their literary and/or cultural-historical significance. This volume includes a foreword by Jon A. Lindseth, describing how he assembled this collection of Jewish books containing fables, as well as essays on the role of fables in Jewish culture, their use in Biblical and rabbinical literature, and their appearance in Jewish and Yiddish literature. Fables in Jewish Culture concludes with a bibliography of fables in Jewish literature and multiple indexes that allow readers to locate works by a number of criteria, including fable, author, title (in English, Hebrew, and Latin), and printer. Contributors: Marion Aptroot, David Daube, Simona Gronemann, Jon A. Lindseth, Raphael Loewe, Lies Meiboom, Emile Schrijver, David Stern, Heide Warncke, Irene Zwiep.
