Synopsis:
Drawing on a vast range of sources - philosophy and theology, ethics and law, biblical commentary, Hebrew poetry, medical literature, and a host of family and communal records from the Cairo Genizah - this is a ground-breaking study of ageing as both a reality and a cultural paradigm in medieval Jewish society.
