Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In 1897, Rabbi Solomon Schechter of Cambridge University stepped into the attic of the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo and found the largest treasure trove of mediaeval manuscripts ever discovered. He had entered the synagogue's genizah - its repository for damaged and destroyed Jewish texts - which held over 300,000 individual documents, many of which were over 1,000 years old. Considered among the most important discoveries in modern religious history, its contents contained at least a version of one of the Dead Sea Scrolls, early manuscripts of the Bible and other sacred literature. The information the genizah revealed rivaled that of the Rosetta Stone and by virtue of its sheer mass alone, it will continue to command our attention indefinitely.SACRED TREASURE - THE CAIRO GENIZAH is the first comprehensive account of this astounding treasure trove of documents and their discovery. It will delight readers with its fascinating adventure story - why this enormous collection was amassed, how it was discovered and the many lessons to be found in its contents. And it will show readers how Schechter's find, though still being "unpacked" today, forever transformed our knowledge of the Jewish past, Muslim history and much more. The amazing adventure story of one of the most important discoveries in modern religious scholarship. This astounding cache of nearly 300,000 early and medieval manuscripts has forever transformed our knowledge of Jewish and Muslim history and much more.
