"A precious record of Jewish life under Nazi rule." --New York Review of Books "Not only the material for history; it is history itself, agonizingly, triumphantly alive." --Saturday Review Warsaw resident Chaim Kaplan’s journal begins on September 1, 1939, the day the Nazi blitzkrieg stunned the world - the Jews of Poland most of all. It ends in August 1942, when Kaplan realized that the Nazi noose was around his neck. Today Kaplan’s diary stands as an extraordinary record of the Nazi destruction of Warsaw’s Jewish community. It is as timely as ever.

A major forgotten work of English alchemy, Fasciculus chemicus was first published in Paris in 1630. It was translated by Ashmole into English in 1650, two years prior to his widely known anthology of English alchemical verse, Theatrum chemicum Britannicum. Dee’s work is a compendium, a ’fasciculus’ of quintations from the major alchemical writers. He arranged the quotations in chapters according to the order of the opus as a way of illuminating the alchemical process. The authors cited include Lull, Ripley, Dastin, Dunstan, Trevisanus, Arnold of Villa Nova, and Tauladanus.
