Dear Librarians,
We are pleased to announce the publication of a new book by JTS and the Taylor-Schechter Genizah Unit at Cambridge University Library, Jerusalem 2014 - 5774. Seride Teshuvot of Ottoman Empire Sages from the Cairo Genizah Collection of the Cambridge University Library Volume 3 - new by Shmuel Glick with Dotan Arad, Yaakov Schwartz, and Ariel Grossman, Haim Carmi A Full Color Facsimile Edition 352 pp. in Hebrew, hard cover, ISBN 978-965-456-064-1 Catalogue price: $70 Vols. 1-3: $280 This volume completes volumes 1-2 and includes 25 new responsa fragments from Egypt, Turkey and Anonymous: Egypt - R. Nathan Y. Sholal; Turkey - R. Elijah Mizrahi, R. Meir Gabbai, R. Hayim Benveniste and R. Isaac Ovadia; Anonymous - 20 responsa. It also includes six indices of the three volumes: a. Index of essays from Rabbinic Literature, b. Index of persons, c. Index of primary sources, d. Index of foreign words, e. Index of measurements, weights and coins, and f. Index of places. This collection provides an additional building block for the study of responsa literature, based upon manuscripts from the Cairo Genizah, and reveals to the reader new matters which have not been dealt with in the past either in religious or scholarly literature. Some of the fragments shed new light upon or add new data concerning events and issues that were dealt with during that era, and about which there have been hints in previously published responsa literature. Almost all of these responsa fragments are being published here for the first time. The book can be ordered by Phone: ++972-2-5631288, by Fax: ++972-2-5636857 by e-mail: [email protected] and through the web site: http://www.schocken-jts.org.il/english/bookstore/ Baruch Yonin JTS Book Store --- הודעת דואר זו נקייה מוירוסים וזדונות מפני שהגנת הוירוסים של avast! פעילה http://www.avast.com
