April 29, 2001. A book by Scott and Nicholas Thompson. April 15, 2001. The peopling of Africa. A Geographic Interpretation by James L. Newman.

A Jewish Archive from Old Cairo. The History of Cambridge University's Genizah Collection. The 140,000 fragments of Hebrew and Jewish literature and documents rescued from the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo cover every aspect of life in the Mediterranean area a thousand years ago.
