This lecture with Dr/ Elisheva Carlebach will situate the record-keeping culture of the Jews within the larger democratization of reading and writing in early modern Europe. Together we will explore all types of Jewish records from laundry lists to communal logbooks and discuss the intersection of the material aspects of Jewish records and the complexities of the lives they represent.
Light refreshments will be served.
