The linguistic peculiarities of these letters provide an invaluable source for the understanding of the history of the Arabic language and the development of Arabic dialects. This work compares and contrasts various linguistic features of Judaeo-Arabic letters from different periods, and is one of the first studies to present a comprehensive linguistic investigation into non-literary Judaeo-Arabic. Its main focus is to provide an extensive diachronic linguistic description, while distinguishing between features of epistolary Arabic and vernacular phenomena. This study should be of interest to anyone working on the Arabic language, sociolinguistics, general historical linguistics and language typology. \'...in the extant volume she [Wagner] has clearly demonstrated that Judeo-Arabic letters are to be viewed as primary source material, capturing important aspects of language understanding of Jews and Judaism in the medieval and early modern Islamic world, and therefore providing essential insights into the linguistic function of a substandard language or ethnolect like Judeo-Arabic.\' Wout van Bekkum, BiOr numbers LXX 3/4 410 0$aEtudes sur le judai?sme me?die?val ;$vt. 41. 606 $aJudeo-Arabic language 606 $aArabic language$xDialects 606 $aJews$vCorrespondence 606 $aCairo Genizah 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJudeo-Arabic language. 615 0$aArabic language$xDialects. 615 0$aJews 615 0$aCairo Genizah. 676 $a492.7/7 700 $aWagner$b Esther-Miriam$0915521 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459535303321 996 $aLinguistic variety of Judaeo-Arabic in letters from the Cairo genizah$92126167 997 $aUNINA
