75th Anniversary Celebrations
The Journal is also celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. Founded in 1948, it was conceived soon after the war by the Society for Jewish Study based in London and its first volume appeared in 1949. To mark the occasion a special online-only publication containing the first two issues is available to read for free on the LUP website for one month.
Contributions include articles by well-known scholars such as Travers Herford, Arthur Marmorstein, Jacob Teicher, Chaim Rabin, Edward Robertson, Cecil Roth, Samuel Krauss, and G. R. Driver.
