Este manual estudia en síntesis la historia del libro desde la Edad Media al siglo XXI, analizando, entre otros aspectos, los distintos soportes en que se ha ido componiendo, desde el pergamino al libro electrónico, los distintos tipos de letra y diferentes modos de escritura, del manuscrito a la imprenta manual y mecánica, o los distintos escritorios y talleres de producción, así como los lectores y público a quienes ha ido dirigido.

This manual provides a detailed presentation of the various Romance languages as they appear in texts written by Jews, mostly using the Hebrew alphabet. It gives a comprehensive overview of the Jews and the Romance languages in the Middle Ages (part I), as well as after the expulsions (part II). These sections are dedicated to Judaeo-Romance texts and linguistic traditions mainly from Italy, northern and southern France (French and Occitan), and the Iberian Peninsula (Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese). The Judaeo-Spanish varieties of the 20th and 21st centuries are discussed in a separate section (part III), due to the fact that Judaeo-Spanish can be considered an independent language. This section includes detailed descriptions of its phonetics/phonology, morphology, lexicon, and syntax.
