Dear colleagues, I hope this email finds you well. I am co-teaching a course this semester on the history of the Jewish book. Of course, this course should ideally take place in a rare book room, with physical examples of the materials laid out before the students. Alas, present circumstances do not allow this, so I put together a website with examples of the concepts/books being discussed. It's openly available, and relies (where possible) on IIIF technology to allow page-turning within the site (so there may be a slight lag as the page loads). Obviously, the site was created for a specific classroom context (as reflected in the page divisions), but it is my hope that it will prove useful to others in teaching and learning beyond this one class and semester.
