The Legacy of the Cairo Genizah November 9, 2014 At the end of the 19th century, travelers discovered a treasure-trove of old manuscripts in a medieval synagogue in Old Cairo. These papers were never thrown out because they usually mentioned the name of God (a similar custom exists in Islam for Qur’an fragments). Over a millennium these manuscripts accumulated in a special antechamber, or Genizah, to form a unique archive. The collection includes hundreds of letters written by Jewish merchants who lived in the Mediterranean Islamic lands, and traveled as far as India during the Middle Ages. This panel discusses the Genizah, it's unique contribution to history, and the development of Amitav Ghosh’s book In an Antique Land, which is based in part on letters of Jewish India traders from the archive.
