Lecture | Jews, Humans and Animals: A View from Early Hebrew Printing
Ishai Mishory (Columbia University) explores the visual signification of Otherness in the first-ever illustrated printed book in Hebrew, Gershom Soncino’s 1490-1491 edition of Isaac ibn Saḥula’s Meshal ha-ḳadmoni (“Fable of the Ancient”). This talk examines the first-ever illustrated printed book in Hebrew: Gershom Soncino’s 1490-1491 edition of medieval Spanish poet Isaac ibn Saḥula’s Meshal ha-ḳadmoni (“Fable of the Ancient”). While the talking animals of this a fable compendium are easily identifiable textually as “Jewish” – they are conversant not simply in the finer points of Hebrew and Aramaic biblical exegesis and Talmudic argumentation, but indeed in medieval Aristotelian philosophy – are they also understood visually as “Jewish”? The talk examines the ‘translation’ of their identity into the Renascent, and specifically northern-Italian, ambit of the book’s printing. Can the rise in ‘signification anxiety’ around Jews and other ‘others,’ which engulfed 15th-century Italian city-states, help us make sense of these animals’ visual representation – and of larger Italian Renaissance ideas of the ‘human’? Ishai Mishory is a scholar of Jewish history and religion who focuses on early modern Italy and the early printed book.

Talk | Artist Talk/Performance: Beyond the Aperture
Beyond the Aperture examines how Victoria Keddie's practice navigates the shifting landscape of machine perception and data collection through sound, installation, and performance. Moving beyond traditional optical recording, Keddie's work reveals how contemporary surveillance and information systems generate new forms of seeing and knowing that transcend human visual perception. Through projects like Electrona in Crystallo Fluenti and Pshal P'shaw, she transforms invisible streams of information--from orbital debris trajectories to neural language patterns--into immersive sonic and visual experiences that make tangible the hidden architectures of our data-mediated world. In conversation with curator and media historian Liz Flyntz, Keddie will discuss her methodologies for translating machine-gathered data into experiential artworks. The talk involves a live performance demonstrating these transformative processes in real time.

Book Discussion | Shahnameh: The Epic of the Persian Kings (in-person and online)
Explore Persia’s founding through conversation, performance, and the Library’s own collections. Around 1000 CE, one of Iran’s greatest poets, Ferdowsi, wrote what has become considered a bedrock of Iranian nationhood, the Shahnameh, or The Book of Kings. It is the longest poem written by a single poet, tracing Persian collective memory from its mythic origins through the Arab Conquest of the 7th century. From Rostam’s heroics to the tragic love of Bijan and Manijeh, Persian-speaking people of all ages across the Middle East and South Asia can recite lines from it by heart to this day. In the West, the book remains relatively unknown. This March, the New Victory Theater will stage Song of the North, Hamid Rahmanian’s shadow-puppet adaptation of Bijan and Manijeh. Rahmanian also edited a new translation of the Shahnameh. He will join others for reading and discussion about the epic’s enduring power. Some of the Library’s incredible illuminated manuscript editions of the Shahnameh will be on display before and after the program.

Book Discussion | The Moving Image: A Usuer's Manual
Peter B. Kaufman's book is the definitive guidebook for using video in modern communication. Video (television, film, the moving image generally) is today’s most popular information medium. Two-thirds of the world’s internet traffic is video. Americans get their news and information more often from screens and speakers than through any other means. The Moving Image is the first authoritative account of how we have arrived here, together with the first definitive manual to help writers, educators, and publishers use video more effectively. Drawing on decades as an educator, publisher, and producer, MIT’s Peter Kaufman presents new tools, best practices, and community resources for integrating film and sound into media that matters.
