Particular interested in the Jewish Diaspora, Adler, visited Jewish communities throughout Europe North Africa and western Asia to study their practices and collect manuscripts, with a special interest in Hebrew manuscripts. His collections were sold to Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York, which also holds his personal archives. Among the other works composed by our author are such notable pieces as Jews in Many lands, and History of the Jews of London.
