How to use this map

Each pin links to a full city note on this site. Markers are grouped by tradition: Mizrahi (Middle East), Maghrebi (North Africa), Sephardi (Iberia), and Ashkenazi (Eastern Europe). Gold and green pins include Aleppo, Cairo, Tunis, and Toledo; navy pins mark Ashkenazi studies from Warsaw to Konigsberg.

Dashed lines suggest historical manuscript and scholar traffic, the same routes Benjamin of Tudela mapped in prose and the Cairo Genizah documented in discarded paperwork. For regional context, begin with the Diaspora Hub.
