Stampfer, Z., & Ashur, A. (Eds.). Language, Gender and Law in the Judaeo-Islamic Milieu, Leiden, The Netherlands: Brill. 2020

The Genizah is a treasure house with riches that never end. While many fragments still await reconstruction, editing and translating, many others undergo further phases, of reading, re-reading and re-interpretation. The volume discussed here refers to Genizah fragments, many of them already read and some also edited, but shows them being read through a different prism, that of gender. The workshop brought together scholars of various fields dealing with women, law and the Cairo Genizah. The volume includes 6 papers and 3 informative indices (sources, subjects and name sand manuscripts). It was edited by Zvi Stampfer and Amir Ashur, both former members of the Genizah Research Unit of Cambridge University Library.
