Not a time for celebration, but wanted to acknowledge the publication at long last of a wonderful and pathbreaking set of articles, including by Dr. Annette Yoshiko Reed, edited by James Adam Redfield and myself.
🧵1/8 Very happy to have received proofs for the first volume of Narsai: The Homilies (Peeters). Contributors to the first volume include Kristian Heal, Philip Forness, Simcha Gross, and Erin Galgay Walsh.
#PUBLISHED | A new article by Invisible East researcher, Zhang Zhan, has been published! The paper is a new edition of Dandan-Uiliq 1 & 2 with translation, commentary and a comprehensive glossary.

Excited to share my first piece for the Jewish Review of Books—a review of The Oxford Annotated Mishnah, an ambitious translation that brought together dozens of scholars. I try to place the OAM in the context of Mishnah translations & to ask, what is Jewish studies? jewishreviewofbooks.com/jewish-history…
A new Jewish Review of Books is out and with it a truly excellent review (which I had the honor of editing) by Yitz Landes of the new Oxford Mishnah. Buckle up. It's a tour de force across the history of Mishnah translation from seventeenth century Amsterdam to today. jewishreviewofbooks.com/jewish-history…
