Judaeo Arabic Studies

First Published in 1997. During the middle decades of this century fundamental research on the Jews of medieval Arabic-speaking lands was carried out by relatively few scholars whether in Israel or the Western countries. The author of this title sought to remedy this deficit in however small a measure by organizing a Conference on Judaeo-Arabic Studies at Chicago. The purpose of these papers agreed upon in advance by the participants was to draw as broad a picture as possible of the contemporary state of research on certain topics subsumed under the general rubric of medieval Jewish-Arabic studies.
