Note on Transliterations and Place-names

In general, I have used the standard Encyclopaedia Judaica and YIVO systems for transliterations from Hebrew and Yiddish respectively. But I have not hesitated to diverge from these where it seemed sensible. Believing with T. E. Lawrence that scientific systems of transliteration are helpful mainly to those “people who know enough … not to need helping, but a washout for the world,” I have tried in this sphere to do what will be most helpful to the English-speaking reader without worrying unduly about the hobgoblin of consistency.
