8th Annual Vivian Solomon Memorial Lecture at Sha'arei Tsedek North London Reform Synagogue
Crossing Borders: Hebrew manuscripts as a meeting place of cultures.
Jews, Muslims and Christians lived in close proximity throughout the Middle Ages. This is mirrored in Hebrew manuscripts from that time which show how there was interaction and practical cooperation of many sorts between these three communities.
An illustrated talk by Piet van Boxel, recently-retired curator of Hebrew manuscripts at the Bodleian Library, Oxford; formerly Librarian of Leo Baeck College.
