{"value"=>"<p>Series I, by far the largest in the collection, holds drafts and proofs of six major books by Bat Ye'or, including translated versions, as well as one book by David Littman. This series reveals the writing and editing process of Ye'or and Littman, while providing insight into Ye'or's intellectual evolution over decades. In addition to numerous drafts and proofs, there are press and publicity materials, chiefly book reviews and author interviews. Correspondence related to book tours and publication matters are held in Series IV.</p> <p>The six books by Ye'or in the series are: <span class=\"title\">Les juifs en Egypte: aperçu sur 3000 ans d'histoire</span> (1971); <span class=\"title\">Le dhimmi: profil de l'opprimé en Orient et en Afrique du Nord depuis la conquête arabe</span> (1980); <span class=\"title\">Les chrétientés d'Orient entre jihâd et dhimmitude: VIIe-XXe siècle</span> (1991); <span class=\"title\">Juifs et chrétiens sous l'Islam: les dhimmis face au défi intégriste</span> (1994); <span class=\"title\">Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis</span> (2005); and <span class=\"title\">Verso il califfato universale: come l'Europa è diventata complice dell'espansionismo musulmano</span> (2009). The first five of these books contain materials for their translated editions, either in English, Hebrew, Italian, Spanish, or French.</p> <p>Littman's sole book in the series is <span class=\"title\">L'exil au Maghreb: la condition juive sous l'islam, 1148-1912</span> (2010).</p> <p>The majority of the series is made up of drafts and proofs. Most drafts and proofs feature copious edits and annotations by Ye'or or Littman; Littman would edit Ye'or's work, and his notes are present on some early drafts. Translators, too, occasionally contribute edits and comments, as in the case of <span class=\"title\">The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians under Islam</span>, a translation of <span class=\"title\">Le dhimmi</span>. Full book drafts are present, as are drafts of individual chapters and sections. Some books contain drafts for a section called \"Documents,\" which consists of reprinted primary sources, such as correspondence or reports.</p> <p>Books with the most drafts and proofs are <span class=\"title\">Les chrétientés d'Orient entre jihâd et dhimmitude</span> and its English translation, <span class=\"title\">The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam</span>; <span class=\"title\">Juifs et chrétiens sous l'Islam</span> and its English translation, <span class=\"title\">Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilisations Collide</span>; and <span class=\"title\">Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis</span> and its French translation, <span class=\"title\">Eurabia: l'axe euro-arabe</span>. Each of these books also feature extensive press and publicity materials.</p> <p>Littman's book <span class=\"title\">L'exil au Maghreb</span> is mostly represented by photocopies of primary sources from the 19th century human rights organization Alliance Israelite Universelle that were included in the published book. Additionally, the series holds a small amount of research materials—library catalog records and photocopied articles—for an unpublished book about Jewish people in the United States.</p>"}
