This is an accessible and up-to-date account of the Jews during the millennium following Alexander the Great's conquest of the East. Unusually, it acknowledges the problems involved in constructing a narrative from fragmentary yet complex evidence and is, implicitly, an exploration of how this might be accomplished. Moreover, unlike most other introductions to the subject, it concentrates primarily on the people rather than issues of theology and adopts a resolutely unsentimental approach to the subject. Professor Schwartz particularly demonstrates the importance of studying Jewish history, texts and artefacts to the broader community of ancient historians because of what they can contribute to wider themes such as Roman imperialism. The book serves as an excellent introduction for students and scholars of Jewish history and of ancient history.

Das 1925 gegrundete und ab 1940 von New York aus geleitete YIVO (Yidisher visnshaftlekher institut) bewahrt die groate Sammlung zur Geschichte und Kultur des osteuropaischen Judentums. Nach der Zerstorung und Beraubung des in Wilna ansassigen Instituts durch die Nationalsozialisten verblieben nur Fragmente, die nach 1945 an verschiedenen Orten geborgen wurden. Bilha Shilo beschreibt in ihrem Essay die von den fruhen Anfangen des Kalten Krieges gezeichnete Restitutionsgeschichte: Die erfolgreiche Rettung von Bestanden aus der amerikanischen Besatzungszone in Deutschland wird mit der gescheiterten Ruckfuhrung von Sammlungsteilen aus der Tschechoslowakei konfrontiert. Dabei werden auch die konkurrierenden Anspruche des YIVO und anderer Einrichtungen um das materielle judische Erbe Europas offengelegt.

Medieval Europe was a meeting place for the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic civilizations, and the fertile intellectual exchange of these cultures can be seen in the mathematical developments of the time. This sourcebook presents original Latin, Hebrew, and Arabic sources of medieval mathematics, and shows their cross-cultural influences. Most of the Hebrew and Arabic sources appear here in translation for the first time.Readers will discover key mathematical revelations, foundational texts, and sophisticated writings by Latin, Hebrew, and Arabic-speaking mathematicians, including Abner of Burgos's elegant arguments proving results on the conchoid-a curve previously unknown in medieval Europe; Levi ben Gershon's use of mathematical induction in combinatorial proofs; Al-Mu'taman Ibn Hūd's extensive survey of mathematics, which included proofs of Heron's Theorem and Ceva's Theorem; and Muhyī al-Dīn al-Maghribī's interesting proof of Euclid's parallel postulate. The book includes a general introduction, section introductions, footnotes, and references.The Sourcebook in the Mathematics of Medieval Europe and North Africa will be indispensable to anyone seeking out the important historical sources of premodern mathematics.
