Studies in Jewish History and Booklore, by Alexander Marx, First Edition 1944

Very rare seminal book in First Edition hardcover, published in 1944 by The Jewish Theological Seminary of America, New York. “Studies in Jewish History and Booklore” by Alexander Marx, Professor of History and Librarian of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. 458 pages. Rare sections on collecting rare Jewish books and in depth studies of actual book collectors. So this book is all about the people who collect Jewish books and about the content of their collections. In some ways this is a museum curatoring book or a librarian management book, focusing on rare Judaica books circa 1944 (which is the time great libraries and personal collections are being destroyed by the Germans and collaborators throughout Europe). Condition is very good to near fine. See pictures. No dust jacket. Haven’t seen this book for sale, however, with a dust jacket. Free shipping.
