Item description from seller

First Edition. 38 pages. l25 x 19 cm. This is an original article separate from the volume, not a reprint or copy. The pages are sewn but not attached to the wrapper, so are laid in. Also laid in is a printed letter from Gustave Tuck, the Society's Treasurer. On verso of front wrapper is the inscription in an attractive hand, "With compliments of Gustave Tuck" Cecil Roth (1899-1970) , editor in chief of the Encyclopaedia Judaica, was born in London and went to Merton College, Oxford, where he showed an interest in Jewish history and liturgy as early as his undergraduate years. He was a reader in Jewish studies at Oxford for two and a half decades, until 1964, when he moved to Jerusalem, as a visiting professor at Bar-Ilan University. After a heart attack and being falsely accused of unorthodoxy, he left Bar-Ilan, and spent the rest of his life editing the Encyclopaedia Judaica and teaching at Queens College and Stern College in New York. Roth wrote and published profusely, with O. K. Rabinowitz's 1966 bibliography listing 572 items, though the actual number is over 600, including translations and editing of Haggadot. (Lipman, EJ).
