Description
In this unique and ground-breaking work, Dr Stavros Panteli surveys the history of the Jews in Cyprus over the past two-and-a-half thousand years. Because of its geographical proximity to Palestine, the island has often been a sanctuary for Jewish refugees. This highly readable and extensively researched account explores in detail this fascinating and previously untold story.
