Recently published this book of essays celebrating 50 years of Genizah research at @theul.bsky.social. Seems like a good time to share some of my favorites. Here's one by my former teacher, Geoffrey Khan, about a medieval Arabic document he found in Russia 30 years ago: doi.org/10.1163/9789004712331
First page of an article in a book titled "Chapter 10: An Arabic Document of Sale from Medieval Cairo Preserved in the Firkovitch Collection" by Geoffrey Khan. Black text, white background. Black-and-white photo of a medieval Arabic document. The parchment appears light gray while the text, which slants upwards to the left, is a bolder black ink. Several signatures follow the text of the contract. Cover of a book titled "From the Battlefield of Books: Essays Celebrating 50 Years of the Taylor-Schechter Genizah Research Unit" edited by Nick Posegay, Magdalen M. Connolly, and Ben Outhwaite. White text, sickly lime green background, red accents on the left and bottom edge.
