New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 267 p. "Well-known specialists of Judeo-Spanish and newcomers explore the intersection of language and social identity in the chapters of this book. How did linguistic self-perception shape the thriving Judeo-Spanish speech and print cultures of the Jews in the Balkans, Turkey, and the Levant? Did their attitude toward language influence the crisis that they experienced after ncountering the assertive nationalisms of the twentieth century? Can identification with the language continue in other forms after emigration, or if the language no longer served the purpose of communication among the new generations?".
New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 369 p. "Jewish Istanbul is about the folkloric culture of its Jews and their language that survived over five centuries within the perimeters of the multicultural city of Istanbul, throughout the reign of the Ottoman Empire into the 20th century. It is about the journey of Judeo-Spanish, the language brought to the Ottoman Lands by the Jews expelled from Spain and Portugal following the Inquisition and their expulsion in 1492. The collection of childhood memoirs, originally written in Judeo-Spanish pay homage to this endangered language that was last transmitted to the Jewish baby boomers of Istanbul, while the life of the 1950s and 1960s still carried remnants of this unique culture with long history. The English translation is for the future generations to explore the language and the folklore of the Jewish Istanbul as it was once experienced by the multilingual and multicultural Jewish children of Istanbul.".

New French Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In French. 264 p. L'Immigration Judéo-Espagnole à Buenos-Aires: Histoire d'une commuunauté invisible, (1876-1930). History of the emigration of the Sephardis to Buenos Aires (Argentina), 1876-1930. "Quand on parle des Juifs argentins, nous pensons en général aux colonies agricoles installées et maintenues par le Baron Maurice de Hirsch à travers la Jewish Colonisation Association vers la fin du XIX? siècle. Composant près de 80% des Juifs argentins, la communauté ashkénaze est la plus connue et celle dont l'immigration a été la plus étudiée. Dans le présent ouvrage l'attention est mise sur les Judéo-espagnols d'Orient en tant que groupe à part entière qui mérite une étude dédiée et approfondie. Tous les travaux existants traitent le sujet « séfarade » comme s'il s'agissait d'un seul grand groupe homogène qui partage les mêmes traditions, la même culture. Néanmoins, il s'agit en fait de différents groupes bien distincts, originaires d'aires géographiques différentes, comme l'Afrique du nord, l'Empire ottoman (avec là encore des origines différentes dans l'Empire), l'Italie, le Proche et l'Extrême Orient, etc. L'ouvrage analysera les premières années du développement de ces communautés, les relations qui eurent lieu entre elles et les autres communautés juives, ainsi que leur adaptation à l'Argentine et à la vie sociale et culturelle de Buenos Aires. Notre travail commence en 1876 avec l'arrivée des premiers Juifs non-Ashkénazes en Argentine, les Marocains, à une période importante dans la jeune république où les portes sont grandes ouvertes pour accueillir les immigrants. Enfin, nous nous proposons d'essayer de comprendre la participation exclusive des Judéo-espagnols d'Orient dans le contexte non-ashkénaze argentin. Une minorité dans une minorité ; une communauté invisible.".

Engelbrecht excud. A.V,". La storia del diorama inizia con una elaborazione delle "vue d'optique" traforando particolari che, illuminando il retro in trasparenza, producevano l'effetto giorno-notte o, la modifica dell'immagine con l'arricchimento di personaggi o con la sostituzione del paesaggio di fondo. Le immagini, una volta modellate con cura a punta di forbice, divenivano delle autentiche "quinte" da inserirsi nell'apposito visore in legno, i cui nomi sono i più diversi: scatola ottica, teatro ottico o dioramico, pantoscopio, mondo nuovo, cosmorama, zoogroscopio, poleorama, aletoscopio. All'interno si potevano ammirare le scene illuminate ad effetto tridimensionale. Accanto a soggetti ispirati al teatro e all'opera appaiono danze, feste in villa, battute di caccia, giochi popolari. In questa serie risulta di grande effetto l'infilata prospettica e la presenza delle varie maschere, dettagliatamente descritte, inserite in elaborate strutture architettoniche. Esemplare nitidamente colorato e in ottimo stato di conservazione, come raramente reperibile, soprattutto nelle parti ritagliate a punta di forbice.. .

La scena, estremamente veritiera, raffigura una piazza di Strasburgo con il mercato ed ha la possibilità di inserire un doppio fondale: o un Teatro con attori che recitano o un'ampia via prospettica con carrozze, personaggi e sullo sfondo una Chiesa. Interessantissimo e non comune soggetto. Esemplare nitidamente colorato e in ottimo stato di conservazione, come raramente reperibile, soprattutto nelle parti ritagliate a punta di forbice.. .
