    PETERSBURG JEWISH UNIVERSITY: PUBLICATION PROJECTS
    
    Petersburg Jewish University was established in November 1989. 
    It was among the first non-official universities in the former 
    USSR which had received the state recognition (in 1992). The 
    University is aimed at combining scientific research, cultural 
    and educational tasks.
    
    In 1992 the University started an extensive publishing program. Four
    issues of "Proceedings in Judaica" came out in the series "History 
    and ethnography". Together with the Russian National Library the 
    University had prepared and published a bibliographical guide 
    "Literature about Jews in Russian language, 1890 - 1947". This 
    publication is the most comprehensive of all existing analogous 
    works. 
    
    Besides scholarly publications, Petersburg Jewish University 
    had produced several books of popular and educational character. 
    From 1993 the university has been publishing the teachers training
    quarterly "The Jewish school". It is devoted to problems of Jewish 
    education in the former Soviet Union. 
    
    At the present, the University is preparing for publication two 
    new issues of the series "Petersburg Judaica": 
    
    - monograph "The Government policy and Jewish press in Russia,
      1797 - 1917. Essays on history of censorship. by D.Elyashevich;
    - collection of essays "On Jewish themes. Sketches and findings"
      by E.Melamed.
    
    The new research collection "Greeks and Jews: Dialogue through 
    generations" is prepared and will open the new series called 
    "Philosophy. Theory of culture. Hermeneutics". The University 
    also plans to start "Jewish memoirs" series, which would 
    present unknown personal accounts of Jewish life in the Russian 
    Empire and the USSR. This series will contain the following 
    issues:
    
    - Dubnov S. Book of life. Vols. 1 - 3;
    - Ginzburg S. St. Petersburg of yesterday / Translated from Yiddish;
    - Vengerova P. Memoirs of a grandmother / Translated from German;
    - Margulis M. My memoirs;
    - Beylis M. A story of my sufferings / Translated from Yiddish;
    - Zionism in Russia. A collection of memoirs;
    - Vanished life. Russian Jewish emigrants about themselves and their
      past.

    RUSSIAN JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA
    
    The Russian Jewish Encyclopedia (RJE) is the first attempt to create 
    a publication devoted entirely to the Russian Jewry, its history and 
    role in Russia. The boarders of "Russia" and "Russian" (to the 
    encyclopedia's perspective) do not necessarily coincide with 
    the contemporary boarders of Russian Federation, but rather correspond 
    to the territory of the Russian Empire and the USSR in each given 
    historical period. The RJE comprises data from the first settlement 
    of Jews in Russia until the present.
    
    The RJE has the following structure:
    
    - Biography unit
      This part will include three volumes (the first two had already came 
      out, and the third is scheduled to appear in 1997). Each volume will 
      provide about 3 thousand articles - biographies of Russian Jews who 
      contributed greatly to culture, sciences, social and economic life of 
      Russia and other countries. The Russian public consciousness defines 
      a Jew in broader terms than traditional Judaism does. Therefore the 
      first part of the RJE also includes biographies of people who had at
      least one Jewish parent.
    
    - Local history unit
      This part will consist of two volumes and will include more than 3.5 
      thousand articles about Jewish communities in various localities of 
      Russian Empire and the USSR.
    
    - Subject unit
      This part will also consist of two volumes and will include articles 
      on general subjects, such as Jewish institutions, political parties, 
      periodicals, education, on Jewish contributions to various spheres of 
      culture, science, society and economy. 
    
    The editorial staff is also planning to publish an additional eighth 
    volume that would contain bibliographical articles which for different 
    reasons were not included in the first part.

    Guri, Yosef. Vi kumt a kats ibern vaser?  Toyznt yidishe idiomen

    and Their Equivalents in English, Hebrew and Russian]. Jerusalem:
    The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Department of Russian and

    By: Leonard Prager
    
    This collection includes only idioms, defined as "word combinations 
    in which all the components of the phrase underwent a semantic 
    transformation". Proverbs and similes are thus excluded.  One of 
    the aims of the dictionary is "to serve as a lexicographic source 
    for linguists researching Yiddish and spoken Hebrew, and specialists 
    in comparative phraseology."  Guri estimates that 20% of the Yiddish 
    idioms in his collecion are loan translations from Slavic languages 
    and about the same number of the colloquial Hebrew idions included 
    are loan translations from Yiddish.
    
    Such a reference work has been sorely needed.  Yosef Guri's present
    effort to fill the lack, while by no means the comprehensive 
    academic collection we hope some day to see, is a significant 
    contribution, original in its conception, useful to several levels 
    of students, and generally well executed.

    84 p., illus. ISBN 83-213-3891-7
    By: Zachary Baker 
    
    For those interested in the Jewish art scene in Poland, a new 
    biography of the fine 19th-century painter Maurycy Gottlieb
    (Drohobycz, 1856 - Krakow, 1879) has just appeared.
    
    The book, in Polish and English, is by one of Poland's leading 
    art historians (director of the Institute of the Arts of the Polish 
    Academy of Sciences [Instytut Sztuki PAN] and author of a study on 
    the literary-artistic group Yung yidish, in Lodz). It includes 
    numerous reproductions of Gottlieb's canvases, in color and 
    black-and-white.
    
    Also, an extensive essay by Ezra Mendelsohn on Gottlieb's painting, 
    "Christ Teaching in Capernaum," has appeared in the latest issue of
    "Zion":  "Omanut ve-historiyah yehudit:  'Yeshu doresh bi-Kefar 
    Nahum' le-Moritsi Gotlib"  [Added title:  "Art and Jewish History:
    Maurycy Gottlieb's 'Christ Preaching at Capernaum'"] ("Zion," vol.
