On the docket today: Combing through French ambassadorial requests to have the #Ottoman minister of foreign affairs certify its consuls and #interpreters (c. 1700). Later in the 18th century and/or during the 19th century, French diplomats had many #Armenian interpreters. But, at this point, they were all Frenchmen and Ottoman Jews. Except this guy: Matusagha (Մաթուսաղա), son of the somewhat famous Abro (Ապրօ) Çelebi.

TIL that the term "Mizrahi" is a reclaimed term, originally a racist term and slurrish, it's since been reclaimed by those Jews as a way to self-identify, especially for those Jews who live in Israel.

I've only heard it in the context of its reclaimed use, but knowing the history is important.

Trying to learn more about Spanish history and Kingdoms of Faith was a bust. (Almost exclusive focus on dynasties and war rather than cultural history, and barely discusses Jews?)

So let's try another angle. Anyone got a good cultural history of Sephardic Jews in Medieval Spain?
