Bøger af Cyril Mazansky

This book is an encyclopedic and bibliographic approach to the Rabbis from the days of the Mishnah through our own generation who interpreted and transmitted the Written and Oral Torah. Dr. Cyril Mazansky has created a comprehensive English-language biography of the more prominent of these great Sages and presents categories and classifications of their works using a straightforward approach to clearly present this wealth of data. This information will provide the general reader and student with a comprehensive reference book, in English, on the great scholars and religious authors of the Biblical and Talmudic interpretive tradition throughout the centuries.

Although there have been, and continue to be, many books written on a wide variety of aspects of the First World War, this work not only approaches the history of the war from a unique perspective, but also comprehensively covers many of these aspects. Utilizing cards from the extensive, remarkably detailed and mostly contemporaneous issues of cigarette and trade card sets related to the First World War, the author provides a richly illustrated and descriptive tapestry of this great conflict. Not only are the usual political and armed services aspects of the war covered in detail, but also the many other less covered parts receive attention. These latter include regal aspects, and other components of the military such as armamentarium, awards, uniforms and militaria. Then the important role that propaganda played is also covered. The social and literary aspects of the war form an important part of the book. All these written details, a significant amount of which is drawn from the descriptions on the cards, complement the hundreds of card illustrations found throughout the work.
