I have published a book, peer-reviewed articles, book chapters in edited volumes, book reviews, and short pieces for the great public. My topics include the cultural and religious history of the Jewish people in early modern Italy, Jewish-Christian relations, and the study of Jewish manuscripts and early-printed book collections in the twentieth century.
