Anderdon’s library included the 1653 Compleat Angler, and this discourse between Angler, Painter, and Host is both an homage to the seventeenth-century masters, and an attempt to elucidate some of their sources and influences. The author intend- ed it “for the entertainment of a few gentlemen fishers,” the work being based on a tour he made along the Dove. There were 3 versions of this book: this, one of 6 copies in folio; a large-paper edition, limited to twenty-five copies, which appeared in 1845; and a trade edition in small 8vo format, pub- lished by Pickering two years later. “Anderdon was an enthusiastic fisherman, and a walking tour through Dovedale, the country of Charles Cotton, one of the earliest professors of the art of angling, gave him the idea of compiling a volume on The River Dove: with some Quiet Thoughts on the Happy Practice of Angling. Printed in 1845 for private circulation and for sale two years later, it contained many 4 I.

  • 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.

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.
