*Arditti, Benjamin. ''Vidni evrei v Bulgaria'' (Well-known Jews in Bulgaria). Tel Aviv: s.n., 1969-1973. This book includes 124 biographies for 89 different persons (some women) who played a role in Jewish communities. It covers approximately 1850-1970. The biographies are about both Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews, are written by different persons (including the editor), and are classified in alphabetic order renewed in each volume. Photographs are included. All of Arditti's articles end with bibliographic notes and is a good genealogical source especially because Bulgarian Jews use patronymics, meaning their father's name follows the given name. Surnames included are: Adroke, Aftaliyon, Aladjem, Alfasa, Alkalay, Almosnino, Alshekh, Arditti, Arie, Arueti, Asseo, Asher, Assa, Azaria, Aziel, Bakish, Bali, Barukh, Bassan, Bashmutski, Behar, Belkovsky, Ben Shushan, Benmayor, Bentsion, Benun, Benyamin, Berakha, Bidjirano, Daniel, Dankovits, Davidov, Erenprays, Eshkenazi, Farkhi, Gabe, Geron, Graciani, Haimov, Hananel, Herbst, Isakov, Israel, Kalev, Kalmi, Kamerman, Kaneti, Katalan, Khezkiya, Koen, Kordoba, Koso, Krispin, Levi, Menahemov, Meshulam, Mevorakh, Mezan, Miko, Mushonov, Navon, Nitsani, Ovadia, Pardo, Pasken, Perets, Pipo, Piti, Rabiner, Rimalovski, Romano, Rozanes, Ruetel, Semo, Shats, Shekerdjiyski, Shishedji, Sidi, Surudjon, Tadjer, Tsadikov, Ventura, Yasharov, Yosef, Yosifof, and Zilbershtain.
