The Beginnings of Ladino Literature

Více o knize

Focusing on the contributions of Moses Almosnino, this book explores his significance as a prominent Ottoman Sephardi writer whose works resonated with both Jewish and Christian audiences in Europe. Olga Borovaya argues for the inclusion of Almosnino's writings in Ladino literature, challenging previous timelines by suggesting that Ladino's literary history dates back 200 years earlier than thought. Through meticulous historical analysis, she offers a new perspective on the evolution of Ladino and its role in early European print culture.
