Review
"This volume is an admirable work on several levels...The contributors have clearly been chosen for their specific levels of expertise, and each original paper reflects a correspondingly high quality of scholarship...This is an excellent resource for any scholar or educated layperson with an interest in Genizah. Moreover, it encourages inquiry into several larger subjects, which are illuminated in the Genizah materials." John D. Brolley
