Karen Carlson completed this course, spending 2 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.
Terrific! This isn't so much a course as it is a single 90-minute lecture on what historians can learn from a pair of manuscripts describing the Temple and Tabernacle. The details are wonderful. Although the course is listed as "advanced", that's based on presumed interest; all technical terms are completely explained. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Jewish culture in the late medieval period, or manuscripts in general.
