Item description from seller

"This edition, printed on Japon vellum is limited to 100 numbered copies signed by the author." Blue leather binding, top edge gilt, very attractive gilt lettering on spine. 8vo, xiv, 311pp. 75 plates. 311, [1]pp. Color frontispiece protected with a tissue guard. Fascinating picture of London Jewry of the period within the setting of London History as a whole. This work is profusely illustrated with numerous b/w in-text and full page illustrations, and several b/w full-page photographic reproductions of portraits, views and documents. 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).
