Prager jüdische Vereine. Verzeichnis der Statuten, Jahresberichte, Sammelschriften und Jubiläumsvorträge
Prague Jewish Associations. List of statutes, annual reports, collections and anniversary lectures

Summary/Abstract: The article provides a comprehensive bibliography of Jewish associations in Prague, focusing on their publication activities in the 19th century and occasionally the late 18th century. It aims to continue the work of previous compilations, particularly Dr. Otto Muneles' "Bibliographical Survey of Jewish Prague," which documented Hebraica and Judaica from 1512-1951. The bibliography lists statutes, annual reports, jubilee collections, address books, and lectures published by these associations, excluding Zionist and Czech-Jewish organizations, which are to be covered separately. The primary source for this compilation was the extensive collection of the Jewish Museum in Prague's library, especially the pamphlet collection of the former Prague Jewish Religious Community's library. Many publications were lost during WWII when the library was confiscated and relocated multiple times, leading to gaps and losses in the bibliography. Where original prints were unavailable, the bibliography relied on secondary sources, including the handwritten catalog of the former library and heuristics in the Jewish Museum's library and older collections of the National Library of the Czech Republic. The bibliography includes books, yearbooks, almanacs, and works reproduced by other techniques, excluding periodicals and manuscripts.
