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.
