The article discusses the recent discovery of a page from the Cairo Geniza, a collection of medieval Egyptian writings, that was written by Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, also known as Maimonides. The page contains a list of 91 words and phrases in Arabic, with half of them translated into early Spanish using Hebrew letters. The Yeshiva University Museum exhibit, "The Golden Path: Maimonides Across Eight Centuries," has added three new Maimonidean manuscripts, including the word list. The exhibit is currently ongoing but is scheduled to end on December 31. [Extracted from the article]
