Jews and the Fāṭimid Caliphate
Why did medieval Islamic polities permit non-Muslims to develop their own institutions of communal governance, and even actively encourage those institutions’ autonomy from the state? The historiography on Jewish communal autonomy is particularly well-developed, so it can help advance inquiries into other religious communities. But that scholarship also tends to take Jewish communal autonomy – as well as Jewish officials’ influence over other Jew…

Heresy and the Politics of Community
In a book with a bold new view of medieval Jewish history, written in a style accessible to nonspecialists and students as well as to scholars in the field, Marina Rustow changes our understanding of the origins and nature of heresy itself. Scholars have long believed that the Rabbanites and Qaraites, the two major Jewish groups under Islamic rule, split decisively in the tenth century and from that time forward the minority Qaraites were deemed …

Introduction
Jewish Studies at the Crossroads of Anthropology and History
A petition to a woman at the Fatimid court (413–414 a.h. /1022–23 c.e. )
The Genizah of the Ben Ezra synagogue in Fustat preserved dozens of petitions addressed to the Fatimid and Ayyubid chanceries in Cairo and decrees that they issued in response. This article provides an edition, translation, and discussion of a petition housed among the Genizah documents of the Bodleian Library directed to Sitt al-Mulk, half-sister of the caliph al-Ḥākim (386–411/996–1021) and head of the Fatimid state between his death and her ow…
Mecenazgo formal e informal entre judíos en el mundo islámico oriental
Este artículo aborda la cultura política del Oriente islámico bajo gobierno fatimí y buwayhí (siglos X al XII) a partir de las relaciones entre mecenas, clientes, protegidos y socios. Se centra en el análisis de cartas y peticiones de la Geniza de El Cairo que usan el mismo vocabulario especializado que las fuentes árabes históricas de la época a la hora de describir las relaciones entre patrón y cliente: expresiones que hacen referencia al inter…
Karaites Real and Imagined
There is a widespread misperception that Judaism is a religion of praxis rather than belief, in which adhering to behavioural precepts, rather than particular doctrines, renders one a member in good standing.1 But was premodern Judaism nothing but a congeries of rabbinic dictates on how to observe the commandments properly? Was belief really so marginal a consideration in determining the boundaries of the Jewish oecumene? What has prevented much …
