It is part of the *AJL PRESENTS "Books About Books" series. *To* r*egister: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUud-CgrjkoGdQ2lYnk0-IYLU1vPqmeUoFK__;!!KGKeukY!m9hcNK_e1uBx1QS28iIPSil_pB0P1T6b60_fIdUn4Hb_YUM6j1VUg45evq58t16zD4Q$ Abstract: In his new book Sefer Tagin *Fragments from the Cairo* Genizah, Sofer STa"M Marc Michaels transcribes and recreates fragments of arguably the earliest found manuscript of the manual for *sofrim* (scribes) concerning the decorative *tagin* (tittles) and 'strange' letter forms that adorn certain words in the *Torah*. Comparing these found fragments against other core and secondary sources of *Sefer Tagin* (including several pages of a new secondary source), Michaels establishes the most likely readings to assist the reconstruction of the fragments and shed light on the original intention of the author of *Sefer Tagin*. Learn about how the book came to be, the new finds and see some of the manuscripts that bring these old traditions to life. Looking forward to seeing you in this talk, and in the other AJL events during January. Sincerely, Amalia S. Levi AJL RAS Division President
