KAIRWANS EVENTFUL HISTORY From a Kairwan Letter to the London Times. Such is Holy Kairwan, the City of Victory, which rising on the ruins of the Roman Nicus Augusti, sent forth armies to conquer a great part of two continents, became the seat of a long line of independent rulers, and for centuries afterward was the acknowledged metropolis of Islam in the West. In the time of its long-lasting decline it has served as the rallying-point of the nomadic tribes which surround it, their place of the pilgrimage when living and burial when dead. But all the learning, culture, and erudition of Kairwan have unfortunately almost dissapeared for centuries. Her ancient splendor has disappeared; her independence and exclusiveness have luckily prevented her entire decay. However, reduced in size and glamour, Kairwan is still an intact Islamic and Arab city. Future genrations will visit the vestiges of the great Mosque of Okhba and the tomb of My Lord the Companion and reflect deeply on the instabilty of things in general and the declined Moslem magnificence and empire in particular and lament the loss of a prestigious past.

Max Weinreich’s History of the Yiddish Language is a classic of Yiddish scholarship and is the only comprehensive scholarly account of the Yiddish language from its origin to the present. A monumental, definitive work, History of the Yiddish Language demonstrates the integrity of Yiddish as a language, its evolution from other languages, its unique properties, and its versatility and range in both spoken and written form. Originally published in 1973 in Yiddish by the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research and partially translated in 1980, it is now being published in full in English for the first time. In addition to his text, Weinreich’s copious references and footnotes are also included in this two-volume set.

Volume 6 examines the history of Judaism during the second half of the Middle Ages. Through the first half of the Middle Ages, the Jewish communities of western Christendom lagged well behind those of eastern Christendom and the even more impressive Jewries of the Islamic world. As Western Christendom began its remarkable surge forward in the eleventh century, this progress had an impact on the Jewish minority as well. The older Jewries of southern Europe grew and became more productive in every sense. Even more strikingly, a new set of Jewries were created across northern Europe, when this undeveloped area was strengthened demographically, economically, militarily, and culturally. From the smallest and weakest of the world's Jewish centers in the year 1000, the Jewish communities of western Christendom emerged - despite considerable obstacles - as the world's dominant Jewish center by the end of the Middle Ages. This demographic, economic, cultural, and spiritual dominance was maintained down into modernity.
