[ha-Safran] New book by Neil Frau-Cortes

[Yelena Luckert via Hasafran]

Dear all,

Just wanted to let you know about publication of a new book by our
colleague, Neil Frau-Cortes, Frau-Cortes, Neil M. *Rabí Simó ben Tsémakh
Duran : Florirá frondosa la branca. *Palma : Ajuntament de Palma, 2018.  It
is a biography of R. Simeon ben Zemah Duran (1361-1444), including a
genealogical study and a short anthology of his works (some poetry, as well
as legal, and philosophical texts).  Not sure where to get it if  you are
interested, Neil donated his own copy to my library so I got lucky and did
not need to look for it.  If you run into troubles of finding it, you can
try to reach out to him, nf...@umd.edu.
