Join me in transcribing & editing Morais’s Italian materials—or share with your Italian-speaking students, friends & colleagues. It’s easy & fun! 🎉
This work also ties into my @ec.europa.eu #MSCA BookSHUK project at Modena and Penn. Especially fascinating: Morais’s exchanges with Marco Mortara (1815–1894), which illuminate Jewish book circulation, private libraries & Italian-American intellectual networks 📚🌍
