In a Nutshell
As a research assistant on the HEPMASITE project, I am focusing on exploring the margins—literally. I am working with Hebrew philosophical manuscripts, carefully examining and categorising the handwritten notes left in their margins. These small, often overlooked details can offer valuable clues about who wrote or copied the texts, and it is exciting to help uncover those connections. It is meticulous work, but deeply rewarding, especially knowing that it contributes to a broader understanding of Jewish philosophical traditions.
