Hispanojewish Archaeology
"In Hispanojewish Archaeology, Alexander Bar-Magen Numhauser provides the first book-length archaeological exploration of the Jewish presence in late antique and early medieval Hispania. Using epigraphic, numismatic, architectural, and other archaeological remains, this volume describes the multiple cultural expressions of a vibrant Jewish community that emerged as part of the Mediterranean Diaspora, becoming part of the wider Hispanian society. Part of this review includes a detailed examination of the Ilici (Elche, Spain) basilical building, interpreted by previous scholars as both a church and a synagogue, using published and hitherto unpublished material of its decades-long excavation. From the archaeological remains of this Hispanojewish presence a new picture emerges, challenging the traditional premises of the archaeological research on the late antique western Mediterranean"--Provided by publisher.
Hispanojewish Archaeology (2 vols.)
In Hispanojewish Archaeology, Alexander Bar-Magen Numhauser provides the first book-length archaeological exploration of the Jewish presence in late antique and early medieval Hispania.

Jews, Food, and Spain
2023 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards Best Jewish Food Culture Book; 2022 National Jewish Book Award FinalistA fascinating study that will appeal to both culinarians and readers interested in the intersecting histories of food, Sephardic Jewish culture, and the Mediterranean world of Iberia and northern Africa. In the absence of any Jewish cookbook from the pre-1492 era, it requires arduous research and a creative but disciplined imagination to reconstruct Sephardic tastes from the past and their survival and transmission in communities around the Mediterranean in the early modern period, followed by the even more extensive diaspora in the New World. In this intricate and absorbing study, Hélène Jawhara Piñer presents readers with the dishes, ingredients, techniques, and aesthetic principles that make up a sophisticated and attractive cuisine, one that has had a mostly unremarked influence on modern Spanish and Portuguese recipes.
Conflito e coexistência
Os estudos historiográficos relativos ao mundo do Mediterrâneo na Antiguidade Tardia (séculos III – VIII) oferecem uma gama de abordagens que são dinâmicas e fascinantes. Este é o caso do trabalho apresentado por Ana Carolina Picoli Sotocorno como resultado de sua Dissertação de Mestrado recentemente defendida. Partindo do confronto entre as comunidades cristã nicena e judaica na Hispania romana dos primórdios do século V e lançando um olhar crítico sobre o episódio da conversão dos judeus de Minorca apresentado pelo documento legado por Severo de Minorca (418), a abordagem oferecida pela autora traz à superfície histórica debates sobre o conflito e a confrontação, ao m...
Los ataúdes egipcios de Pairusejer y de Ruru del Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid
La presente investigación aborda el estudio de dos ataúdes de Bab el-Gasus del Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid, el interno de Pairusejer (MAN 18253) y el externo de Ruru (MAN 18254), desde una perspectiva material y de conservación. Estos ataúdes, datados en la dinastía XXI, forman parte del gran descubrimiento en 1891 de la Segunda Cachette de Deir el Bahari (el hallazgo de 153 cajas funerarias escondidas en la orilla occidental tebana) y fueron donados por el gobierno egipcio a España en 1893. El objetivo principal de este libro es entender el estado de conservación actual de las piezas, remontándonos a su historia más reciente, que abarca desde el momento en que fueron encontradas hasta la actualidad, y que incluye sus traslados en Egipto y su llegada a Madrid en 1895. Los últimos 122 años en el museo madrileño son especialmente relevantes, al realizarse las sucesivas restauraciones, siempre vinculadas a las exposiciones del MAN, que han modelado estos ataúdes.

Evangelización y configuración de la cristiandad ecuatoriana
La presente publicación no es una clásica historia de la Iglesia ecuatoriana, aunque en la formación de la "cristiandad colonial" se tienen en cuenta las normas emanadas del poder colonial: Audiencia, concilios diocesanos, obispos, regulaciones en la aplicación del patronato real, etc. No se puede olvidar que dentro del proceso de colonización y evangelización han jugado un papel los "doctrineros" o curas de indios y los misioneros entre los pueblos de las forestas tropicales. Ellos coadyuvaron en la promoción de una nueva fe basada en el Evangelio, de nuevas concepciones éticas y morales, de complejos simbólicos culturales y de novedosos sistemas organizacionales como las cofradía...
Escrituras silenciadas
Al hablar de Escrituras Silenciadas nos referimos a todos aquellos textos y testimonios que han sido censurados, ocultados, prohibidos o en pocas palabras acallados a lo largo del tiempo y los que al ser descubiertos e integrados en sus respectivas investigaciones, permiten al estudioso romper discursos construidos de larga data y replantear viejos problemas. Precisamente esta capacidad de innovación resulta ser el mayor atractivo que tiene el presente libro, donde por primera vez hemos querido incorporar artículos que plantean problemas desde la perspectiva de las nuevas tecnologías, de sus silencios y prohibiciones, sin olvidar el impacto que ellas tienen en las investigaciones en curso...
Ancient Jewish Art and Archaeology in the Diaspora
Jewish Diaspora in Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods from first to the eighth centuries C.E. is the subject of this work. The author thoroughly investigates origin, symbolism and significance of the mainly synagogal and funerary art forms in the Diaspora. Ancient Jewish Art and Archaeology in the Diaspora is the companion volume to the successful Ancient Jewish Art and Archeaeology in the Land of Israel (1988) by the same author. The geographical area covered includes Syria, Asia Minor, North Africa and Mediterranean Europe. The first section examines the characteristic features of Diaspora Art synagogue architecture and art (including the Torah shrine and mosaic pavements). Another section deals with burial and funerary practices. Of special importance are the sections on the Biblical scenes, designs and iconography of the Dura Europos synagogue, and the Jewish symbols such as the Menorah, ritual objects, the Ark, the conch and the Torah Scrolls. The book is richly illustrated with more than 325 drawings and photographs, some in colour.
