Read Our Story & Goals
Print Volumes
The Posen Library was originally conceived in the late 1990s as a ten-volume print anthology, curated by leading Jewish Studies scholars and published by Yale University Press. Print volumes now available cover ancient Israel’s beginning (Volume 1) and 1500 through 2005 (Volumes 5–10).
The Posen Library team of staff and advisors are dedicated to curating and expanding this vast collection of text and image sources. They work together to ensure a complete and robust project that is both current and ongoing.
