A propos de cet article

Original pictorial dust wrapper, fine; protected in new clear sleeve. Jacket art by Judith M. Tulli. Rare near fine hardcover edition. Kevin Alan Brook recounts the engimatic and veiled history of the kingdom of Khazaria located in eastern Europe. It flourished as an independent state from about 650 to 1016. In the eighth and ninth centuries, the royalty and nobility, as well as a significant portion of the population, embraced the Jewish religion. As a major world power, Khazaria enjoyed diplomacy and trade with many nations and altered the course of medieval history. After conversion, the kingdom was ruled by a succession of Jewish kings and adopted the Torah, Talmud, Hebrew script and holidays. A portion of the empire adopted Christianity and Islam. This volume traces the development of the Khazars from their beginning as a tribe to the decline and fall of the kingdom. Brook traces their migrations into Hungary, Ukraine, and Europe and provides a comprehensive treatment of this complex issue. Finally, Brook enumerates the Jewish communities which sprung up after the fall and proposes that the Jews from the former Russian Empire are descended from a mixture of Khazar, German, and Greek Jews, and Slavs. Brook draws upon the latest archival, linguistic, and archaeological discoveries. The sources for Khazar history are extremely varied, representing all the major cultural groups and languages of Eurasia including, but not limited to: Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, Persian, Turkic, Greek, Latin, Slavic, Georgian, Armenian, and Chinese. Brook assembles an absorbing account of their history based on this wide array supplemented by ethnographic data concerning their legacy. Ashkenazic Jews who wish to explore their distant ancestry in eastern Europe will greatly benefit. Additionally, Hungarians, Slavs, Turks, Arabs, and Ossetians will find a wealth of details concerning their interaction with Khazars. A thorough and engrossing, yet elementary and accessible, accounting into these previously mostly obscure revelations. Features an extensive bibliographical notes section following each chapter, a dozen page detailed index, a seventeen page bibliography, and a note about the author. Printed in the United States of America. 353 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.…
