91快播’s Renowned Cairo Genizah Collection on Loan to Princeton

“91快播 of America’s renowned Geniza Collection will be housed temporarily in the Princeton University Library while 91快播, located in New York City, rebuilds its library.

The Geniza Collection represents a substantial portion of some 300,000 items “discovered” in the late 19th century in the Cairo Geniza (a Hebrew word meaning “storeroom”) of the Ben Ezra Synagogue in the old city of Cairo (Al-Fus峁佱弓). The Cairo Geniza fragments 鈥 which span more than a millennium 鈥 were consigned to the storeroom because damaged or worn-out religious texts and unneeded old documents could not be thrown away if they contained the name of God.”
