1934 CE: PUBLICATION HALTED AT “L”

Berlin: Goldmann’s Encyclopaedia Judaica project halted at “L.” Nachum Goldmann’s Eshkol Publishing, German–language Encyclopaedia Judaica had issued releases of its encyclopedia in the 1928–1934 period. The entries starting from Acch, and leading up to Lyra had been represented in the ten volumes (heading towards approximately 21–22 volumes), before Nazi persecutions halted the (clearly quite important) mega–project in 1934.

An English–language Encyclopaedia of the precise same name would be issued 37 years later in 1971–72 by KETER (Jerusalem) and MacMillan (New York). [See entry later in this TimeLine]
