He practiced as a successful ophthalmologist, who was said to be able to cure even the blind, and participated in the establishment of a polyclinic for the poor. Autodidactically, he trained himself as a medical historian and orientalist, collected old manuscripts and opened up these sources of Arabic and Jewish medicine of the Middle Ages. His various correspondence partners reflect this development to some extent. In both fields, he acted as a mediator for the exchange and a new understanding of the achievements in East and West, which are ultimately based on a common cultural heritage of the past centuries. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#3E3E3E'>Pre-register: </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><a href="https://bit.ly/OrXJB">bit.ly/OrXJB</a>. <span style='color:#3E3E3E'>After registering, you will receive an email containing information about joining the event.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>The object of this lecture series is to bring together scholars and librarians engaged with collections of correspondences and/or include related projects that use appropriate digital tools to map and analyze such corpora. <span style='background:white'>All lectures will be held online from 12-1 pm (EST)</span></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;background:white'>. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>It is hosted by Sabine Schmidtke (NES@IAS) and María Mercedes Tuya (Digital Scholarship</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <span style='color:black'>@IAS).<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>For additional information about the upcoming lectures, please visit: </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#232333;letter-spacing:.3pt;background:white'> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><a href="https://albert.ias.edu/20.500.12111/8044" target="_blank"><span style='letter-spacing:.3pt;background:white'>https://albert.ias.edu/20.500.12111/8044</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Sabine Schmidtke <a href="mailto:scs@ias.edu" target="_blank">scs@ias.edu</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>María Mercedes Tuya <a href="mailto:ds@ias.edu" target="_blank">ds@ias.edu</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'> </span><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
