Pamphlets

Since 1972 the Centre has published many short papers. Most of these were first delivered as lectures at the Centre. The series of Sacks Lectures began in 1973. Other series are the Schreiber Lectures, the Maxwell Lectures, the Stencl Lectures, the Jewish Law Fellowship Lectures, the Frank Green Lectures, and the Martin Goldman Memorial Lectures. The Centre also publishes the proceedings of short symposia held at the Centre and occasional single lectures.

Most of the following published lectures are available on request at a cost of £3.50 each plus postage and packing. Please e-mail : enquiries@ochjs.ac.uk
