We know you've all been waiting for the next episode of "Cathetergate": @OdedZinger and I have found all but one of the joins! Seven different pieces, and now we know the name of the rogue doctor: Berakhot b. Yeshuʿa. Never loan him a urinary catheter.

@GenizaLab Or that prayers are really curses...

New Geniza article alert! With editions of six Judaeo-Arabic letters from an overbearing father in early 13th-century Alexandria, desperately trying every trick in the book to bring home a runaway son.

@erwpoq @GenizaLab I am mire curious about the עשה in the first line....

[oded zinger @OdedZinger]

@erwpoq @GenizaLab עמו בית ישראל

[oded zinger @OdedZinger]

@MedievalMidEast @GenizaLab I also discuss it a bit in my "introduction to the legal geniza" article

[oded zinger @OdedZinger]

Very excited about this!

@LiranYadgar @GenizaLab @mrustow If I ever write the book on the masculinity of belonging in geniza documents, I will certainly include a chapter on brotherly love

[oded zinger @OdedZinger]

@LiranYadgar @GenizaLab @mrustow In a yet unpublished book chapter I discuss the dramatization of emotions in women's letters in order to stress kinship ties.

[oded zinger @OdedZinger]

@LiranYadgar @GenizaLab @mrustow In my own dissertation, I discussed another emotion: crying and yelling in court and petitions - but this part will not make it into the book.

[oded zinger @OdedZinger]

@LiranYadgar @GenizaLab @mrustow Alan Elbaum's article in Speculum (in press) is by far the best analysis of one type if emotions in letters.

[oded zinger @OdedZinger]

@mrustow Yes, to lend each other books. In the end of the long agreement there is also a condition not to remain more than 24 hours angry at each other. And who is the rabbi mentioned as approving this legal bromance? ...
None other than Joseph Caro

[oded zinger @OdedZinger]

@mrustow The real bromance in the genizot is the legal agreement published in Mann, Texts and Studies, 472 onwards. Where two men undertake to לקשור קשר חזק ואמיץ של אהבה ואחוה ושל(וה?) בנינו כאילו היינו אחים מאב ואם . And what is the first point of the "strong tie of love"?

[oded zinger @OdedZinger]

@GenizaLab It is worth noting that this seems to be the earliest mention of Baldwin in any surviving Arabic source. I am also planning to publish this discovery hopefully at some point (so maybe some credit?)
