Shimeon Brisman (1920-2004), a Holocaust survivor, lived in Los Angeles from 1954 to 1988. This article focuses first on his efforts to build a strong Jewish Studies collection at the University of California, Los Angeles. These efforts began with the purchase of the stock of a defunct bookstore in Jerusalem in the early 1960s, and they continued through significant and strategic purchases that he made over the following two decades. Brisman, a very private person, is remembered by friends and colleagues, and their recollections reveal glimpses of his personality. Brisman, the scholar, is remembered via an analysis of the three volumes of his series titled "Jewish Research Literature," along with the reviews that the volumes received shortly after their publication. Brisman's contribution to the field of Jewish bibliography was a unique and enduring one. BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Shimeon Erisman was born in 1920 in Poland and died in 2004 in Brooklyn, New York. A teenager at the beginning of World War II, he escaped Poland for Lithuania, traveled through Russia and Japan, and found refuge in Shanghai in 1941. He left China in 1947 for the United States and became an American citizen in 1962. This brief sketch of Brisman's life could illustrate the destiny of
希米恩·布里斯曼(1920-2004)，大屠杀幸存者，1954年至1988年住在洛杉矶。本文首先关注他在加州大学洛杉矶分校(University of California, Los Angeles)建立一个强大的犹太研究收藏的努力。这些努力始于20世纪60年代初在耶路撒冷购买一家倒闭书店的股票，并在接下来的20年里通过重大和战略性的收购继续进行。布里斯曼是一个非常注重隐私的人，他的朋友和同事都记得他，他们的回忆揭示了他的个性。布里斯曼是一位学者，通过对他的三卷《犹太研究文学》系列的分析，以及这些卷在出版后不久收到的评论，人们记住了他。布里斯曼对犹太目录学领域的贡献是独特而持久的。希米恩·埃里斯曼1920年出生于波兰，2004年在纽约布鲁克林去世。第二次世界大战开始时，十几岁的他从波兰逃到立陶宛，途经俄罗斯和日本，并于1941年在上海避难。他于1947年离开中国前往美国，1962年成为美国公民。布里斯曼一生的简史可以说明他的命运

The authors explore the influence of the Swiss theologian, Orientalist, and Christian Hebraist, Johann Heinrich Hottinger, who preceded Shabbetai Bass in developing and implementing a classified HebraicaJudaica bibliography. His ideas and theories have heretofore not been closely examined by Judaica bibliographers or researchers of Jewish intellectual history. Hottinger’s innovation was his degree of abstraction: that of analyzing a collection according to its contents. A study of his theories and classification systems can stimulate and encourage a renewed look at early practices and offer insights that can be relevant to current research. Unless otherwise noted, translations from the original Latin, Hebrew, and other languages are the authors’.

The mission of the Institute for Hebrew Bibliography (IHB), located at the Jewish and National University Library (JNUL) in Jerusalem from the early 1960s to the present, is to describe all of the books printed in Hebrew characters since the invention of printing to 1960. The ambitious scope of the project was set only after discussions between historians and catalogers. The IHB created two card catalogs, one for bibliographic descriptions, and a second for biographies of Hebrew authors. The release, in 1994, of The Bibliography of the Hebrew Book CD-ROM, followed in 2002 by an Internet-accessible database (updated in 2004), are benchmarks that allow the public to assess the work of the IHB. Technological advances can be used to deliver a clean and easily searchable database only when basic concepts of cataloging/database retrieval have been fully addressed. THE ORIGINS OF THE PROJECT (1953–1959) The establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 made feasible the project of a Jewish national bibliography, similar to the national bibliographies of Western Europe that were produced during the nineteenth century in Great Britain, Germany, and France. National bibliographies aim at unifying a territory and a language, recording all the books published within the borders of one nation. In the case of the Hebrew bibliography, the state, Israel, undertook a retrospective national bibliography, aiming at describing all Hebrew books issued since the invention of printing until 1960, anywhere. Achieving this ambitious goal was possible only because during the post-World War II decades publicly funded teams of researchers replaced the individual bibliographer, often toiling on a single work for decades (Malcles 1977). The suggestion for a Jewish national bibliography came in 1953 from Dr. Israel Mehlmann (1900–1989) (Rubin 1993/1994; [Mif‘al] 1964, p. 7, 45).
