Forging Ties, Forging Passports is a history of migration and nation-building from the vantage point of those who lived between states. Devi Mays traces the histories of Ottoman Sephardi Jews who emigrated to the Americas—and especially to Mexico—in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the complex relationships they maintained to legal documentation as they migrated and settled into new homes. Mays considers the shifting notions of belonging, nationality, and citizenship through the stories of individual women, men, and families who navigated these transitions in their everyday lives, as well as through the paperwork they carried. In the aftermath of World War I and the...
The Pontifical Biblical Institute
Established in accordance with the wish of Pope Pius X, at the suggestion f Fr. Leopold Fonck, S. J., and straightway entrusted to the Society of Jesus, the Pontifical Biblical Institute celebrates its centenary in 2009. Its main centre is in the heart of Rome.

Based on documents from archives, eighty of which are reproduced, this circumstantial account retraces, step by step, the important periods the Institute has lived through, in Rome, then in Jerusalem.

Discovering, Deciphering and Dissenting
The discovery of Hebrew manuscripts of Ben Sira in the Cairo Genizah has shaped and transformed the interpretation of the book. It is argued here that a proper appreciation of the manuscripts themselves is also essential for understanding this ancient work. Since their discovery 120 years ago and subsequent identification of leaves, attention has been directed to the interpretation of the ancient book, the Wisdom of Ben Sira. Serious consideration should also be given to the Hebrew manuscripts themselves and their particular contributions to understanding the language and transmission of the book. The surprising appearance of a work that was preserved by Christians and denounced by some Rabb...
