Slavery and the Jews of Medieval Egypt: A History by Craig Perry

Slavery and the Jews of Medieval Egypt by @caperry.bsky.social is a new global #history of the slave trade, the lives of enslaved people, & the role of slavery in the formation of Jewish & Arab-Islamic culture in the medieval Middle East.

Out now (17 Mar UK pub): press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Photo of a blue lapis lazuli cylinder seal that is broken, shown from two sides. On the left it looks almost complete, like a cylinder that has a chip at the bottom left. Part of a cuneiform inscription is visible on the left side. On the right of the image is the other side which is more broken, just a fragment. Part of the image of a person is visible.

You may have heard of Enheduanna, the princess, priestess, and poet who is also the earliest named author in history.

Well, a tiny broken artefact made of lapis lazuli preserves the name of Ilum-pālil, her hairdresser. It is a fragmentary cylinder seal, excavated from a tomb in the city of Ur.

One of the strong points of the HOPWAG series is Adamson's accessible writing style. It is good to have 'All Ten Rules for Writing about the History of Philosophy' in one place. Useful as they are for students, I suspect they will find application beyond #history and #philosophy 👇🏻
