To name the works to which I am indebted would need a list of many of the best-known products of recent Continental and American scholarship.

At the end of every chapter I have, however, given references to some English works and essays.

Graetz is cited in the English translation published by the Jewish Publication Society of America.

The figures in brackets refer to the edition published in London.

The American and the English editions of S.Schechter's "Studies in Judaism" are similarly referred to.
Of one thing I am confident.
