Summary

THE editors would like to thank the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies for sponsoring as a Marc Rich Seminar the conference on which this volume is based. The beautiful setting of Yarnton Manor, its fine accommodation and its helpful and experienced staff allowed us the rare opportunity to experience the true meaning of the phrase ‘a community of scholars’. We would especially like to acknowledge the achievement of the Centre's founder and first president, David Patterson: his dream of making Yarnton Manor a home to scholars and scholarship has been realized.

The Braun Chair for the History of the Jews in Prussia at Bar Ilan University recognized the importance of this project and provided financial support for editing the volume.

The Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and its tireless secretary Anita Lightfoot, offered clerical assistance.

The Littman Library of Jewish Civilization has been everything for which the editors could have wished. Connie Webber has shown unflagging enthusiasm. Janet Moth has been an outstanding editor, expertly handling problems of all dimensions (from murky prose to the nightmare of transliteration).
