Re: [ha-Safran] Keep older encyclopedia?
Hi All, I bought a personal copy at a book sale years ago for pennies. I have since then used it with book discussions that have themes of Pre-World War II or the Holocaust. (ie In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson) Some of the entries are frightening given the hindsight and what came to pass.

That 1939 encyclopedia is quite special. It describes many European Jewish communities before the Holocaust that n longer exist today. I definitely recommend that you keep it. When I coordinated the Temple Beth Shalom library in Spokane, WA, the custodian found a copy of that encyclopedia. I looked through it and realized what a treasure it was.

It's in pretty good shape and doesn't take up too much space, but is never touched and we have a complete set of the 1977 Encyclopaedia Judaica. Yet some librarians keep older reference works for invaluable photos and perspective. Any thoughts?

Re: [ha-Safran] CE/BCE vs BC/AD
I have noticed recently that more scientific, historical, and archeological journals, as well as newspaper articles, and art history books adopting the BCE and CE designation. It is an excellent development of scholarship in the correct direction.

The alternative would be to use years as constructed by Orthodox Jews. These would not be understandable by any outside of that community. Plus, they would not agree with the Muslim understanding of time. From what I can reckon, the use of the commonly-understood numbers for time plus CE or BCE is the most religion-neutral way of describing time. It appears I have already lost this bet with RDA, so this is probably whistling in the wind. ;-) Buzz Haughton bxhaugh...@ucdavis.edu __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
