Cuneiform
Cuneiform script on tablets of clay is, as far as we know, the oldest form of writing in the world. The choice of clay as writing medium in ancient Mesopotamia meant that records of all kinds could survive down to modern times, preserving fascinating documents from ancient civilization, written by a variety of people and societies. From reading these tablets we can understand not only the history and economics of the time but also the beliefs, ideas and superstitions.

From Moses to Moses
The book is a fictional account of the life and times of Moses ben Maimon (the Rambam, Moses Maimonides), one of the greatest Jewish theologians and philosophers who was also a distinguished physician to the Court of Saladin. Born in Cordoba, Spain, in 1135 he will be remembered for his three brilliant books, the Commentary on the Mishna, the Mishneh Torah and the Guide of the Perplexed. He also wrote ten medical treatises. Due to persecution he was forced, with his family, to travel throughout Spain before moving to Fez in Morocco, then Palestine and finally to Egypt where he was appointed as nagid to the Jewish community. He died in 1204 and is buried in Tiberias, Israel. His tombstone reads; "From Moses to Moses, there never arose a man like Moses".
