He is known especially as the author of 'Kiryat Sefer, ' or 'Bibliotheca Hebraica Post-Mendelssohniana' (Leipsic, 1891-95) , a bibliographical dictionary of modern Hebrew literature from the beginning of Mendelssohn's epoch until 1890. The compilation of this work occupied Zeitlin for twenty years. Hemade extensive use of Benjacob's 'Ozar ha-Sefarim' and of Fürst's 'Bibliotheca Judaica, ' and visited Wilna and Warsaw, the centers of the Hebrew book market, as well as many university cities—as Königsberg, Berlin, Geneva, and Paris—from the libraries of which he gathered additional material for his work. The 'Kiryat Sefer' indexes not only works in book form, but also important periodical articles, biographical sketches, and scientific essays, in addition to giving biographical notes on several authors. ” - 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia.
