Megillat Esther - Scroll of Esther

from Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries · host Auckland Libraries

In the Real Gold case this month we feature a manuscript to coincide with the Jewish holiday of Purim. Sue Berman tells us about how Senior Curator Archives & Manuscripts Dr Natasha Barrett has worked to describe the manuscript - Megillat Esther - which had otherwise been largely undescribed for over a hundred years. The track includes a clip from a conversation with visiting scholar Sharon Lieberman Mintz, curator of Jewish Art at the Library of The Jewish Theological Seminary and Senior Consultant Judaica to Sotheby's New York, who gave her generous assistance for describing and dating this scroll. (recorded in August 2019) Digital images of the scroll can be found with the record here: https://kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/collection/manuscripts/id/14194/rec/1 Auckland Libraries Heritage Collections MS 324 Henry Keesing biography - https://teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/1k5/keesing-henry See also - http://braginskycollection.com/esther-scrolls/

Ghibliotheque - A Podcast About Animation and Studio Ghibli Michael Leader, Jake Cunningham & Steph Watts Welcome to the Ghibliotheque, the podcast that leafs through libraries of films from the world’s greatest animation studios.In 2018, Michael Leader, an avowed Studio Ghibli fanatic, sat down with Jake Cunningham, who had never seen any of the Studio’s work before. Together they looked at the history behind Ghibli's films (including Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Mononoke), and got a critical perspective from Jake as a first-time viewer. They covered all of Studio Ghibli's films, visited Japan on the ultimate Ghibli pilgrimage, and have since interviewed artists, animators and filmmakers who have either worked on or have been deeply inspired by Ghibli's films. With their co-host Steph Watts, they have also branched out to cover filmographies of other studios and filmmakers whose work has revolutionised animation, from Satoshi Kon and Mamoru Hosoda to Cartoon Saloon and Henry Selick.Where will we go next?
