[From publisher] The Ben Ezra Synagogue, in Cairo, is best known as the synogogue in which the 'Cairo Geniza' was found - an astonishingly rich store of ancient books, manuscripts, correspondences, and records dating back to the tenth century. Copiously illustrated with plans, engravings, and photographs, Fortifications and the Synagogue describes the recent restoration of this ancient synagogue, as well as the historical and archaeological research essential to its preservation and to an understanding of the religious communities that founded modern Cairo. The work is unprecedented in its comprehensive examination of the subject, presenting the first measured survey and photographic study of the fortress and synagogue, the first thorough study of the Geniza manuscripts, and a complete history of the synagogue from the Geniza period to the present. Contents include: The Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities in Egypt / William M. Brinner; Towards an interfaith centre : archaeology, preservation, and history / Phyllis Lambert; Archaeological survey drawings of the fortress of Babylon / Kate Spence, Peter Sheehan, Charles Le Quesne; The Roman fortifications / Peter Sheehan; Archaelogical survey of the Ben Ezra Synagogue site / Peter Sheehan; The synagogue / Charles Le Quesne; The Ben Ezra Synagogue and the ethics of restoration and conservation / Johan Bellaert; Photographs of the Ben Ezra Synagogue and its environment in old Cairo / Richard Pare; Legend and tradition at the Ben Ezra Synagogue / Charles Le Quesne;The Medieval period : the tenth to fourteenth centuries / Menahem Ben-Sasson;The Mameluke and Ottoman periods : the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries / Joseph R. Hacker; The modern period : the nineteenth and twentieth centuries / Charles Le QuesneThe Geniza and the scholarly community / Charles Le Quesne; Appendix; Notes; Bibliography; index.
