The Jewish Encyclopedia

An entry on The Wandering Jew on the Jewish Encyclopedia site. The site itself contains the complete contents of the 12-volume Jewish Encyclopedia, which was originally published between 1901-1906. The Jewish Encyclopedia, which recently became part of the public domain, contains over 15,000 articles and illustrations. Cool. A reference to match the The Catholic Encyclopedia?
