SUMMARY:The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies & the Herbert D. Katz Center Distinguished Fellowship in Jewish Manuscript Studies Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Naked and the Hairy: Material Memory and Jewish 
 Record-keeping in Early Modern Europe\n\nElisheva Carlebach\, Columbia 
 University\n\nMaidservants did it\, midwives too\, rabbis and merchants\, 
 cooks and laundresses—everyone\, it seems\, was keeping written records 
 in the age of expanding literacy\, access to texts\, and proliferation of 
 bureaucracy. This lecture will situate the record-keeping culture of the 
 Jews of early modern Europe\, with particular emphasis on communal 
 records\, within its larger European civic scribal context. A response in 
 part to Randolph Head’s call to explore archives more broadly\, we 
 examine a body of writing that scholars seldom viewed alongside its 
 European parallels. Politically\, early modern Jews walked a fine line 
 between their roles as minority subjects and the need to impose internal 
 discipline. Together we will explore how material aspects of Jewish records 
 illuminate the complexities of the lives they represent.\n\nThis lecture is 
 sponsored by the Jewish Studies Program at the University of Pennsylvania. 
 Attendees are invited to a reception following the lecture.
