Overview

\"From the Ends of the Earth\" is a comprehensive scholarly survey of the world-renowned Judaic collections housed within the Library of Congress. Authored by the distinguished historian and bibliographer Abraham J. Karp, this volume was published to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Hebraic Section. Through a series of thematic essays, Karp explores the depth and diversity of the Library’s holdings, which span over a millennium of Jewish history, liturgy, science, and literature. The work serves not only as a catalog of rare artifacts but as a narrative history of the Jewish Diaspora, as told through the books and manuscripts that traveled \"from the ends of the earth\" to find a home in the American national library.
