In the nineteenth century a new type of mystic emerged in Catholic Europe. While cases of stigmatisation had been reported since the thirteenth century, this era witnessed the development of the ‘stigmatic’: young women who attracted widespread interest thanks to the appearance of physical stigmata. To understand the popularity of these stigmatics we need to regard them as the ‘saints’ and religious ‘celebrities’ of their time. With their ‘miraculous’ bodies, they fit contemporary popular ideas (if not necessarily those of the Church) of what sanctity was. As knowledge about them spread via modern media and their fame became marketable, they developed into religious ‘celebrities’.

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.
Remembrances Two Centuries, Two Countries, Two Husbands chronicles the life of a successful Buenos Aires-born woman who straddles two countries and two very different medical worlds during a century of transition. Luisa Stigol received her medical degree in Buenos Aires during the oppressive reign of President Juan Peron when his party dominated Argentina. Ten years later, Stigol relocated her family to Boston where, for thirty years, she was a pediatrician connected with the Harvard Children's Hospital. Follow Stigol's candid descriptions of a doctor's sometimes painful, sometimes joyful encounters with patients and their families, during a career that reflects dramatic changes occurring in medical care. Stigol's personal life intertwines with her challenges as a physician. Paradoxically, a woman who succeeded in a challenging medical career was unaware of the painful reality that she was married to a man consumed by alcohol dependency. That and Stigol's successful battle with cancer lets readers bear witness to the life of a physician whose experiences additionally reflect the transition in a woman's role.
