Bibliography of A. V. Williams Jackson

THE PRODUCTIVE scholarly activity of Professor A. V. Williams Jackson extended over half a century, from 1885 to 1936, and the number of individual books and articles published by him, including articles contributed to encyclopedias, exceeds 350. Despite his wide range of interests, Iranian studies always occupied the position of predominance: Persia, its antiquities, its literature, and its religions, constituted the principal theme throughout, with Manichaeism coming to the fore as a special subject of interest toward the last. The chief portion of the present bibliography, the range and completeness of which are due to Dr. Jackson's own suggestions and memoranda, was compiled in 1925 and 1926 with a view to inclusion as an appendix in his Zoroastrian Studies (originally announced under the title Zoroastrianism: Studies Old and New),' but the pressure of other tasks prevented its completion and publication at that time. Revised and completed, it is now presented as a last tribute to Professor Jackson from a devoted former pupil. It seems eminently fitting to make mention here of two publications relating to Dr. Jackson, both of which he valued highly and which he would be loath to see pass into complete oblivion. In 1900 there was published on the campus of Columbia University, under the title Imaginary Lectures, a charming little volume which reprinted, in beautiful format and typography, a number of clever skits on Columbia personages which had appeared serially in *the student monthly The Morningside. The seventh imaginary lecture was ascribed to Professor Jackson and dealt with the drama and the New York stage in a monologue of delicious absurdity.2
