Re: [Cz-L] Our Origin

A book called Cultures in Motion by Peter N. Stearns (2001, Yale
University Press) has a chapter (4) on the Jewish Diaspora which
includes a narrative chronology from the origin of the Jewish people up
to the present day - it is a fairly general outline. The mapping that
is included could be of interest to this discussion. The copy I have
here is a Kindle for PC version and the map labels in it are not all
legible I'm afraid. If you get a paper copy or maybe a Kindle copy on
another interface you may be able to glean more information that I can
. . . One map shows the "Forced Migration of Jews During the Middle
Ages" including paths of migration plus major and minor Ashkenazi and
Sephardic cultural areas and communities . . . . that's the one that I
think may offer some tidbits for our discussion.

Subject: [Cz-L] Our Origin

We are now some 20 posts down the road. Are we any wiser now ? The
more I read , the less I know. Historians pretend that East European
Jews came directly fromPalestine from around the Black sea through
Cappadokia Khasariaand the Balkans to Dacia. They spoke Greek and other
acquired speech. The old Bukovinean jewish settlers were very small in
numbers, Yiddish came much later from Poland with the mass influx .
The old timers were absorbed leaving no trace. Including Spaniards
lost in the Carpathians. Having successfully clarified this riddle
we move on
