  • Catalogue of Manuscripts in the Roth Collection’, Contributed by Cecil Roth Himself to the Alexander Marx Jubilee Volume (New York, 1950), Where It Forms Pp
    Handlist 164 LEEDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Provisional handlist of manuscripts in the Roth Collection Introduction Dr Cecil Roth (1899-1970), the Jewish historian, was born on 5 March 1899 in Dalston, London, the youngest of the four sons of Joseph and Etty Roth. Educated at the City of London School, he saw active service in France in 1918 and then read history at Merton College, Oxford, obtaining a first class degree in modern history in 1922, and a DPhil in 1924; his thesis was published in 1925 as The Last Florentine Republic. In 1928 he married Irene Rosalind Davis. They had no children. Roth soon turned to Jewish studies, his interest from childhood, when he had a traditional religious education and learned Hebrew from the Cairo Genizah scholar Jacob Mann. He supported himself by freelance writing until in 1939 he received a specially created readership in post-biblical Jewish studies at the University of Oxford, where he taught until his retirement in 1964. He then settled in Israel and divided his last years between New York, where he was visiting professor at Queens’ College in City University and Stern College, and Jerusalem. He died in Jerusalem on 21 June 1970. Roth’s literary output was immense, ranging from definitive histories of the Jews both globally and in several particular countries, to bibliographical works, studies of painting, scholarly research, notably on the Dead Sea scrolls, and biographical works. But his crowning achievement was the editorship of the Encyclopaedia Judaica, which appeared in the year of his death. Throughout his life Roth collected both books and manuscripts, and art objects.

Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2q61v8s5 Author Heyer-Gray, Bob Publication Date 2001 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Evaluating Journal Aggregators: A Preliminary Investigation Using EBSCO Online. Robert Heyer-Gray [[email protected]] Physical Sciences & Engineering Library University of California Davis, CA 95616 Introduction I initially began exploring the usefulness/usability of EBSCO Online [http://www-us.ebsco.com/online/] in March 2000. At that time, the database contained 141 journals listed as "On Subscription" for UC Davis. I reviewed our holdings again in November 2000 and once more in May 2001. 100 additional titles have been added to EBSCO Online for UC Davis since April 2000, and I would imagine that as more of the UC Davis subscriptions are transferred to EBSCO, that number would continue to expand. I approached EBSCO Online with a few questions in mind: 1. Is there anything unique to EBSCO Online? Or perhaps more precisely, are they providing access to publications (content) not already made available by other publisher agreements for UC Davis (UCD) and/or the California Digital Library (CDL)? 2. How did the holdings for title mounted on EBSCO Online compare to our print subscription in terms of coverage, completeness, and currency? 3. Can records (for both journals and individual articles) be linked to directly from an online catalog and/or A&I database? 4. What are the full-text formats? 5. How useful is EBSCO Online as an A&I/Full-Text database? Why UC Davis is Using EBSCO Online EBSCO Online provides access to full-text articles for journals to which the UCD Library subscribes through EBSCO Information Services.

  • THE ROLE of SEMITIC CATCHWORDS in INTERPRETING the EPISTLE of JAMES Daniel K
    Tyndale Bulletin 70.2 (2019) 245-267 THE ROLE OF SEMITIC CATCHWORDS IN INTERPRETING THE EPISTLE OF JAMES Daniel K. Eng ([email protected]) Summary This article examines the arrangement of the Epistle of James in light of Semitic documents that display catchword association. James shows evidence of being a compilation, with adjacent sections frequently connected by a common cognate. After identifying patterns of catchword association in the Hebrew Bible, LXX, and Qumran, the article identifies instances of catchword association in the Epistle of James. Finally, some conclusions are drawn for James, including recommendations about the study of its genre, provenance, structure, and interpretation.1 1. Introduction This article examines the interpretation of the Epistle of James in light of Semitic documents that display catchword association. James shows evidence of having adjacent sections frequently connected by a common cognate, called a catchword, or Stichwort. While not necessarily displaying logical progression, the epistle shows consistency with an intentional Semitic custom of connecting material by catchword. After identifying patterns of catchword association in Jewish documents, we will examine similar arrangements in James and 1 Earlier versions of this article were presented at the Oxford-Cambridge Biblical Studies Conference, the British New Testament Conference, and the Society of Biblical Literature Annual Meeting, all in 2018. The author would like to thank those who gave helpful advice and feedback, especially K. Lawson Younger Jr., C. Hassell Bullock, J. LaRae Ferguson, David A. deSilva, Darian Lockett, Andrew Yee, and Jonathan Robinson. 246 TYNDALE BULLETIN 70.2 (2019) offer recommendations on how the identification of catchword association impacts the interpretation of the epistle.

English as a discipline stresses the intensive study of writers and their works in literary, cultural, and historical contexts. It is keyed to the appreciation and analysis of literary language, through which writers compose and organize their poems, stories, novels, plays, and essays. The discipline equally stresses writing critically and creatively in response to reading literature. We thus offer a wide range of courses: introductory courses in literary and writing skills; more advanced courses in influential writers, historical periods, and themes in English, American, and world literatures in English; and numerous courses in creative writing, including screenwriting
