Description
Strongly rooted in archival research, next to the study of printed and other manuscript sources, recent publications contributed to the history of late medieval and early-modern Jewish history, Christian-Jewish encounters and networks, the dissemination and reception of printed and manuscript texts of Jewish kabbalah in Italian and French circles, with a particular emphasis on the Mediterranean hub, Venice at its centre. Recently started my long-term research project entitled SION-Digit, Signifying Objects, Texts and Networks: digitising transactions in Jewish European culture, 1500-1700. The project consists of locating, cataloguing, digitizing and transcribing a representative corpus of notarial deeds revealing everyday-life, objects and transborder transactions of Jews, 1500-1700, within the geographical triangle Venice-Bordeaux-Amsterdam.
