ANDRUSS, J., Jewish Piety in Islamic Jerusalem. The Lamentations Commentary of Salmon ben Yeruhim. Oxford University Press, 2023. 440p. Hardback. In Jewish Piety in Islamic Jerusalem, Jessica Andruss has unearthed a lesser-known historical treasure: a commentary on the biblical book of Lamentations written by Salmon ben Yeruhim, an erudite Karaite Jew whose scholarship represents an intersection of Judaism and Islam, Hebrew and Arabic, and the rabbinic and medieval periods. A representation par excellence of the experimental beginnings of a new genre of Jewish commentary form, through her detailed, formidable, and impressive research, Andruss has opened the doors for lay people and scholars alike to a critical nexus in time.
