The Voice of the Poor in the Middle Ages: An Anthology of Documents from the Cairo Geniza Paperback - 2005
by Mark R. Cohen
First line
PRIVATE CHARITY, by its very nature, is nut easily observed in other periods and societies in premodern times.
From the rear cover
"This anthology will expand our understanding of what life was like at the time when Islamic civilization was at or near its peak. It makes an excellent companion to Cohen's other book, Poverty and Charity in the Jewish Community of Medieval Europe."--Michael Bonner, University of Michigan
"Scholars and students of the Cairo Geniza, the medieval Muslim world, and the history of poverty and charity will find here a rich trove of newly-translated petitions, poor rolls, lists of benefactors, and letters of recommendation. They afford a rare view of the workings of charity and the world of the poor in the Middle Ages."--Amy Singer, Tel Aviv University
