Encyclopedia of the World of the Bible

Have you ever tried to locate a copy of a volume of the great Hebrew set Encyclopedia of the World of the Bible but got confused about how the libraries represent them in their online catalogs?  Some weeks ago I sorted out my confusion about this. Here are my findings.

1. This set is written in Hebrew, although people have given it an English title Encyclopedia of the World of the Bible. I have not seen any English translation of this set. I have not seen this English title in the volumes of this set itself. So perhaps this is not an official title. The real name of this set is...

2. The set has two names! Actually there is one older and one newer version. Respectively, they are:

אנציקלופדיה עולם התנ''ך Entsiḳlopedyah ʻOlam ha-Tanakh. Tel-Aviv: Revivim, 1982-

עולם התנ''ך ʻOlam ha-Tanakh. Tel-Aviv : Daṿidzon-ʻIti, 1993-

Left: Older. Right: Newer.
