Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2007 10:47:28 -0400 Not long ago, the Libraries of The Jewish Theological Seminary in New York and Jerusalem (the Schocken Library) announced the formation of a new on-line journal dedicated to the history of the Jewish book. It is our hope that this journal, entitled "Quntress: An online journal for the history, art, and culture of the Jewish book," will be published electronically on a projected annual basis, with regular updates between official publications.
The journal will be open to scholarly contributions of any length relating to any aspect of the history of the Jewish book in all of its forms. For purposes of the journal, the Jewish book will be defined as works written or published in Hebrew characters, in any language (Hebrew, Aramaic, Ladino, Yiddish, Judeo-Persian, etc.). Contributions may relate to scrolls or codices (or fragments thereof), in manuscript or printed. Contributions relating to the next stage in the history of the Jewish bookelectronic publishing are also invited. Our initial announcement did not bring an adequate number of appropriate submissions. We hope that this is not evidence of a lack of interest in the field. Accordingly, if you would like to support this venture, we invite you to submit an article for consideration for our inaugural issue. English submissions should be sent electronically to: David Kraemer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), Hebrew Submissions to Shmuel Glick([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
