Juifs d’Orient: Une histoire plurimillénaire

Institute du Monde Arabe, Gallimard, 2021

Centuries before the beginning of the Christian era, Jews lived around the Mediterranean and along the banks of the Euphrates. From the centuries preceding the advent of Islam to the early dynasties of the Muslim world, from the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 to the rise of Jewish centers in the Ottoman Empire, and finally from the growing influence of Europe in the Mediterranean world to the exile of Jews from the Arab world, this book highlights the most significant expressions of Jewish cultures in Islamic lands and the remarkable exchanges between the two communities throughout history.
