A Look At Rabbinic Biographical Dictionaries Published Since 1950
A look at Rabbinic biographical dictionaries published since 1950. AvrahamGreenbaum Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel. Abstract.
http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla66/papers/138-174e.htm

Extractions: Jerusalem, Israel There were some early attempts to compile rabbinic biographical dictionaries, the most serious of which was a dictionary of living rabbis with addresses and brief biographies (19212). After the Holocaust, and continuing until today, a number of such works were published. Our list is representative and tries to cover different types. Some of these works reach back into the Middle Ages, and in one multivolume project even to the "Creation of the World". But the most useful are the ones dealing with the rabbis of a defined geographic area. While most writers are rabbis themselves, those with bibliographic training tone down the hagiographic element and concentrate on factual bio-bibliographic information.
