This book tells the largely unfamiliar story of intellectual transmission, cultural exchange and practical cooperation, social interaction, and religious toleration between Jews and non-Jews in the Muslim as well as Christian world during the late Middle Ages. The story is composed of ten narratives, each of which brings to light a different aspect of Jewish life in a non-Jewish medieval society. The book is beautifully illustrated with images from the Hebrew holdings at the Bodleian Library, one of the largest and most important collections of Hebrew manuscripts worldwide. They range from Christian codex fragments as early as the 3rd century to a copy of Moses Maimonides' Mishneh Torah signed by Maimonides himself.… (más)
I saw the exhibit of manuscripts from the Bodleian Library at the Jewish Museum two weeks ago and just read the accompanying book.

The connections between scholars, and books were well documented in the essays and the examples from the manuscripts were quite striking. In the actual exhibit, the use of ipads to show all the pages in a selected book was a good use of new technology. ( )
