News on the Afghan Jewish manuscripts

SHAUL SHAKED has given a lecture in Jerusalem on the Jewish manuscripts recently recovered in Afghanistan, and Shai Secunda, who was there, gives us a report at The Talmud Blog: The Afghani ‘Geniza’. A nice overview of the current status of the find, with a good many new details and some reflections on what may come next.

Background here and links.
