Marina Rustow: Jewish Manuscripts in the Digital Age II — The Digital Revolution

Marina Rustow, professor at Princeton University and MacArthur Genius, will consider how new technologies are transforming scholars’ understanding of the past by looking at the documents of the Cairo Geniza — a trove of nearly 400,000 manuscript pages preserved in a medieval Egyptian synagogue.

These richly illustrated lectures will introduce listeners to the Geniza and the results of the groundbreaking research on the Jewish/Islamic world that new technologies have made possible.

This lecture is part of the annual Samuel and Althea Stroum Lectures in Jewish Studies series at the University of Washington.
