A VISIT TO THE

TAYLOR-SCHECHTER GENIZAH RESEARCH UNIT

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

The Genizah Collection is a window on the medieval world of the Mediterranean area. Its 140,000 manuscripts and manuscript fragments, mainly in Hebrew and Arabic, shed light on the mundane as well as the religious and cultural activities of that world.

The visit proper will start at 2:30 pm and will last about two hours.

Please note that in order to finalize arrangements for the trip (travel etc), it is essential that we have a good idea of numbers. Email Joanna Cummin or Byron Simmonds as soon as possible, to register your interest.
