Publisher Description:
La Biblioth que municipale de Colmar conserve plus de 330 fragments h breux coll s sur les reliures d'incunables. Chacun d'eux peut a priori tre consid r comme le t moin d'un livre disparu, probablement tomb entre les mains de relieurs la suite de circonstances historiques tragiques. Apr s les avoir d crits et identifi s dans cet ouvrage, Judith Kogel a pu reconstituer la collection de livres tudi s et utilis s par les juifs de Colmar et des environs, au Moyen ge. Bien que l'on ne puisse savoir qui ils appartenaient et o ils taient conserv s, ces livres recouvrent tous les textes indispensables la vie juive quotidienne et refl tent une communaut structur e pour la transmission des savoirs.

The Colmar Public Library preserves more than 330 Hebrew fragments glued to the bindings of incunabula. Each of them a priori can be considered as a witness to a book that disappeared, probably fallen into the hands of bookbinders as a result of tragic historical circumstances. After describing and identifying them, Judith Kogel was able to partially reconstruct and present in this book, the collection of texts studied and used by Jews in Colmar and the surrounding area in the Middle Ages. Although we cannot know to whom these books belonged and where they were kept, the collection covers all areas essential to Jewish daily life and reflects a structured community committed to the transmission of knowledge.
