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.

Gallery Talk | Exhibition Opening and Talk: The Vienna Model of Radicalization
This new exhibition, on show for the first time in the United States, explores the significance of the Holocaust in Austria and highlights the role of Vienna as gateway for the radicalization of antisemitic policy in the Nazi State.

The opening will include a talk by Michaela Raggam-Blesch and a Q&A with a Holocaust survivor from Vienna, George Langnas. Attendees will then have the opportunity to view the exhibition. Speaker Michaela Raggam-Blesch is a senior research fellow at the Institute for Contemporary History at the University of Vienna with the research project "Bonds of Intimacy and Dependency: Survival Strategies of Intermarried Families in Nazi- Dominated Europe" funded by the Austrian Science Fund.

Lecture | Space and Sound in Late-Seventeenth Century Rome
The relationship between compositional choices and the spaces in which certain repertoires were performed remains an area in need of further investigation. This study begins with a comparison between two projects: one conducted between 2010 and 2018 on the repertoire performed in Francesco Borromini’s masterpiece, the Church of Sant’Ivo alla Sapienza, and another focusing on the Pauline Chapel in Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the most significant sacred spaces of Counter-Reformation Rome. Archival documents from the State Archives of Rome reveal the vocal and instrumental ensembles present in 1661 for the feast of the dedication of Sant’Ivo on March 19. On that occasion, the three-choir mass Ecce sacerdos magnus by Orazio Benevoli was most likely performed. As demonstrated in a 2018 concert, where the three choirs were positioned within the church’s three choir lofts, the composition aligns seamlessly with Borromini’s architectural design. In contrast, Alessandro Melani’s repertoire, performed in the Pauline Chapel, reflects a different spatial dynamic. Here, the much closer placement of the two choirs above the altar corresponds precisely with Melani’s compositional approach, particularly in his treatment of the choirs and his highly advanced harmonic language.

Play | Hindle Wakes by Critically-Acclaimed Theater Company (streaming online through Mar 16 - watch anytime)
It's "Wakes Week" in Hindle, and with the mill closed, Fanny Hawthorn relaxes by the seashore. She meets Alan Jeffcote, the mill owner's son, and they spend a few fun days in a hotel in Wales. However, their fun ends when their parents find out. When Hindle Wakes premiered in 1912, critics hailed it as the best play of the year. Its unsentimental portrayal of two young people seeking pleasure without commitment sparked moral outrage, fueling heated debates and making the play a hit.

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.

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.
