Just something simple but pretty to look at in bad times. Dust jacket of a 1951 translation of a talk given by Bialik in 1913, when he was still based in Odessa. It’s pink Italian paper laid out on a screen mold; “PMF Italia” is watermarked on the opposite corner.
NYU has a campus in an Arabic speaking country, and so the library system has an Arabic-language interface on the self-checkout consoles. It seemed appropriate to use it while checking out books on Arabic Bible translations, and I got an Arabic-langauge confirmation slip.
