1987Fine Fine English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [8], [iii], 400 p., ills. The Karaite Jews of Egypt, 1882-1986. In The Karaite Jews of Egypt, Mourad el-Kodsi offers for the first time a comprehensive and scholarly study of the little-known history of the Karaite Jews. Dealing primarily with the period from 1882-1986, el-Kodsi's text reveals the many dimensions of the Karaites' rich cultural heritage, and is supplemented by numerous photographs and reproductions of authentic Karaite documents of historical import. In a style that is at once uncompromising and sensitive, the author examines the folk traditions, societal patterns, and artistic contributions of this once-flourishing society.
