Four volumes of The History of Jews in Europe are part of S. M. Dubnov's major work, The World History of the Jewish People. The monumental ten-volume work was published in whole and in parts in translations into German, Hebrew, Yiddish, English, French and Spanish. The full Russian-language edition of the book in the original and in the final author's editing was published in Riga in 1936-1939. This reprint reproduction of the Western history of the Jewish people was made from the Riga edition of 1936-1937.
