A city of Mesopotamian Jazira peopled by a mosaic of communities, Sinjar had a Jewish presence documented in medieval Arab and Syriac sources. The community, Aramaic-speaking, was closely linked to that of Mosul.
Great Book being written
This Great Book does not yet have published chapters. The chapters — each bearing its register, its epistemic status and its sources — will be added as editorial enrichment and assisted generation progress.
The days of this book
This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Sinjar give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
You know a date — a remembrance, a hilloula, the anniversary of a departure? Give it its day
