The Jewish Book of Days Cecil Roth

The Jewish Book of Days , Cecil Roth , Herom Press New York 1966 ,
A Day-by-day almanac of events from the settlement of the Jews in Europe to the Balfour Declaration ; revised edition ,
First published 35 years ago and out-of-print for many years, this unique volume is a synopsis of Jewish history from Talmudic times to our own age. Arranged in the form of a diary, rather than chronologically, the interested reader will find in it a memorable event or fascinating episode for every day of the year.

Professor Roth, the eminent historian and Reader Emeritus of Jewish Studies at Oxford University displays in this book that rare gift of combining scholarly detail with entertaining style which make his works a joy for the specialist and the layman alike.

In this new edition errors of the first printing have been corrected and a list of memorable dates of 1917-1948 were added, bringing the book up to the establishment of the State of Israel.
