Partnership

Since 2021

Trinity College Dublin approached us to create a comprehensive database of Arabic and Judaeo-Arabic poetry found in the Cairo Genizah.

The project, led by Dr. Mohamed Ahmed and in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, aimed to make the poetry accessible to academic scholars and the general public while also revealing hidden aspects of the social and cultural history of the Jews in the Middle East.

The final website was a success and received positive feedback

The website serves as a comprehensive database.

Poetry found in the Cairo Genizah is now easily accessible to academic scholars and the general public. Visual presentation, transcription and English translation allow people to appreciate the poetry and fully understand its historical context.

The result is a website that beautifully blends simplicity and elegance.
