J. Wasserstein (D.Phil, Oxford University, 1982), who has just joined
Vanderbilt from Tel Aviv University as professor of history and professor
of Jewish studies, is a medieval Jewish and Islamic historian. He
is particularly interested in the political and social history of
the Muslims in Spain and the history of the Jews in the medieval Arab-Islamic
world. He is the author of The Rise and Fall of The Party-Kings: Politics
and Society in Islamic Spain, 1002-1086 and The Caliphate in the West:
An Islamic Political Institution in the Iberian Peninsula. He has
written widely on the history of Islam in the Iberian Peninsula, and
on the Jews there and elsewhere, as well as on Islamic numismatics.
He serves as a member of the international Consejo Asesor of al-Qantara,
the principal Spanish journal devoted to Iberian Islam. He has just
completed (with the late Abraham Wasserstein) a work on the history
of the legend of the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Bible,
in its Jewish, Christian and pagan contexts from the second century
BCE to the present.
