8vo, br, ed, 372pp. This book presents for the first time the complete text of the earliest known Ladino-language memoir, transliterated from the original script, translated into English, and introduced and explicated by the editors. The memoirist, Sa'adi Besalel a-Levi (1820-1903), wrote about Ottoman Jews' daily life at a time when the finely wrought fabric of Ottoman society was just beginning to unravel. His vivid portrayal of life in Salonica, a major port in the Ottoman Levant with a majority Jewish population, thus provides a unique window into a way of life before it disappeared as a result of profound political and social changes and the World Wars. Sa'adi was a prominent journalist and publisher, one of the most significant creators of modern Sephardic print culture. He was also a rebel who accused the Jewish leadership of Salonica of being corrupt, abusive, and fanatical; that leadership, in turn, excommunicated him from the Jewish community. The experience of excommunication pervades Sa'adi's memoir, which documents a world that its author was himself actively involved in changing.

8vo, br. ed. 428pp. Fra le grandi narrazioni che hanno accompagnato la storia dell’uomo, quella dell’Esodo dall’Egitto è senza dubbio una delle più dense di significato, e il testo biblico che l’ha tramandata fino a noi ne è la vivida testimonianza letteraria. La potenza evocativa delle descrizioni – dalle dieci piaghe d’Egitto al prodigio del Mare dei giunchi – rischia tuttavia di lasciare in ombra gli sviluppi sotterranei del mito. In questo saggio Jan Assmann, con profondità e vastità di sguardo, interroga il libro dell’Esodo dal punto di vista dell’«egittologo che opera nel campo delle scienze culturali», risalendo alle origini dei suoi nuclei mitici e indagandone gli effetti e i riverberi nel tempo. Sarà così possibile vedere da una nuova prospettiva la cruciale rivelazione nel roveto ardente, allorché Yahweh manifesta la propria volontà e stabilisce un patto con il popolo eletto: «Con l’idea del patto viene al mondo la “fede”, che rappresenta l’autentica, rivoluzionaria novità del monoteismo biblico, sia esso veterotestamentario, neotestamentario o islamico». Nell’Antico Testamento, infatti, «“fede” ha lo stesso significato di “fedeltà”, ovvero fiducia nel patto». E il «monoteismo della fedeltà» porterà a una nuova idea di religione, in grado di gettare «le basi per un rapporto totalmente nuovo con il mondo, con Dio e con il tempo» – un rapporto destinato a perdurare fino alla modernità.

Entre-temps, l'auteur nous aura rappelé l'apport essentiel de Theodor Herzl, auteur de L'Etat des Juifs (1896), les relations toujours délicates avec le pays de Sa Majesté comme avec celui de Mister President, les tensions et affrontements entre les diverses composantes du sionisme - des orthodoxes aux plus laïcs -, les ruses et combines pour faire venir, avant guerre et pendant celle-ci, les immigrés malgré quotas et restrictions. Alternant les vastes descriptions des combats de toutes sortes, les croquis psychologiques des protagonistes, et les scènes romanesques aux dialogues rapides, incisifs, dramatiques, Georges Ayache nous donne, à la veille du soixantième anniversaire de la fondation d'Israël, le portrait vérité de sa naissance".

8vo, hardcover in dj, pp.237. Exodus is the second book of the Hebrew Bible, but it may rank first in lasting cultural importance. It is here that the classic biblical themes of oppression and redemption, of human enslavement and divine salvation, are most dramatically expressed. Joel Baden tells the story of this influential and enduring book, tracing how its famous account of the Israelites? journey to the promised land has been adopted and adapted for millennia, often in unexpected ways. Baden draws a distinction between the Exodus story and the book itself, which is one of the most multifaceted in the Bible, containing poems, law codes, rituals, and architectural plans. He shows how Exodus brings together an array of oral and written traditions from the ancient Middle East, and how it came to be ritualized in the Passover Seder and the Eucharist. Highlighting the remarkable resilience and flexibility of Exodus, Baden sheds light on how the bestowing of the Torah to Moses on Mount Sinai divided Jewish and Christian thinkers, on the importance of Exodus during the Reformation and the American Revolution, and on its uses in debates for and against slavery. He also traces how the defining narrative of ancient Israel helped to define Mormon social identity, the American civil rights movement, and liberation theology. Though three thousand years old, the Exodus?as history, as narrative, as metaphor, as model?continues to be vitally important for us today. Here is the essential biography of this incomparable spiritual masterpiece.

4to, pp.335 hardcover. A comprehensive and timely exploration of the key role Jerusalem played in shaping the art and culture of the Middle Ages Medieval Jerusalem was a vibrant international center and home to multiple cultures, faiths, and languages. Harmonious and dissonant influences from Persian, Turkish, Greek, Syrian, Armenian, Georgian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Indian, and European traditions invested Jerusalem with a key role in shaping the art of the Middle Ages. Through compelling essays by international and interdisciplinary experts and detailed discussions of more than 200 works of art, this beautiful, authoritative volume breaks new ground in exploring the relationship between the historical and the archetypal city of Jerusalem, uncovering the ways in which the aesthetic achievements it inspired enhanced and enlivened the medieval world. Patrons and artists from Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions alike focused their attention on the Holy City, endowing and enriching its sacred buildings and creating luxury goods for its residents. This artistic fertility was particularly in evidence between the 11th and the 14th centuries, notwithstanding often devastating circumstances-from the earthquake of 1033 to the fierce battles of the Crusades. Dazzling illustrations featuring new photography complement this unprecedented, panoptic story of Jerusalem in the Middle Ages.

12mo, The Jewish joke is as old as Abraham, and like the Jews themselves it has wandered over the world, learned countless new languages, worked with a range of different materials, been performed in front of some pretty hostile crowds, but still retained its own distinctive identity. So what is it that animates the Jewish joke? Why are Jews so often thought of as funny ? And how old can a joke get? The Jewish Joke is a brilliant - and very funny - riff on Jewish jokes, about what marks them apart from other jokes, why they are important to Jewish identity and how they work. Ranging from self-deprecation to anti-Semitism, politics to sex, it looks at the past of Jewish joking and asks whether the Jewish joke has a future. With jokes from Woody Allen, Lena Dunham and Jerry Seinfeld, as well as Freud and Marx (Groucho mostly), this is both a compendium and a commentary, light-hearted and deeply insightful.
