Winner of the 2015 Bibliography Award from the Association of
Jewish Libraries! The AJL Judaica Bibliography Award was
established to encourage the publication of outstanding Judaica
bibliographies. The intellectual legacy of the ancient community of
Iranian Jews rests in several large but neglected Judeo-Persian
manuscript collections. The largest in the West, and the third
largest collection in the world (198 manuscripts), belongs to the
Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, New York.
Primarily a work of reference, this Catalog informs scholars in the
fields of Judaica and Iranica about the range of subjects (history,
poetry, medicine, philology, etc.) that engaged Iranian Jews
between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. It reflects the
intellectual parameters of Iranian Jewry by describing the extent
to which they were acquainted with classical Jewish texts while
they were deeply enmeshed in the literary and artistic
sensibilities of their Iranian environment.
