| | A Window into Jewish Medieval Life |
 | | Discovered 100 years ago, most of the Geniza's 250,000 fragments, including full page documents and a handful of books preserved in their entirety, were penned by members of the Jewish community in Cairo over a period of 250 years, between 1000 and 1250. | | | It was a "receptacle," a final resting place or cache of "trashed" documents written in Hebrew or transliterated into Hebrew text, Arabic and other languages during the Middle Ages. | | | TAU, in conjunction with the Hebrew University's Jewish National and University Library's Institute of Hebrew Manuscript Microfilms, marked the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Cairo Geniza by hosting an international conference that brought together some 30 Geniza scholars from around the globe. |
