Bøger i Studies in Jewish History and serien

In Lost in Translation, Found in Transliteration, Alex Kerner examines communal usage of languages and censorship policies on printed materials, proposing to look at London's Spanish and Portuguese Jews' congregation in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as a linguistic community.

This volume presents dozens of classical Hebrew texts translated into literary Italian. It is the first study of an almost ignored corpus, showing the degree of cultural and linguistic integration of the Jews of Italy long before the German Haskala.
