Recenzii

'In a period marked by an inflation of proliferating Festschriften, it is a pleasure to read a book of quality articles clearly focused on the research areas of a very worthy scholar. Mark R. Cohen, who taught for forty years at Princeton University, pursued innovative investigations of Jewish-Islamic relations in the realms of both economics and politics in light of findings from the Cairo Geniza, a Jewish repository of hundreds of thousands of medieval literary and documentary texts'.

DANIEL J . LASKER, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in Renaissance Quarterly Vol. 68, No. 2 (Summer 2015), pp. 706-708
