Abstract

The meaning of the word katela was in question by Rabbis in the Middle Ages. The search for its meaning revealed an unknown breast cover, used by women to emphasize their breasts. This has led to a fascinating new perspective on Jewish women's life in the Middle Ages. On cover:Late Roman wall, the portion immediately south of the West Gate (Porta Oea) with re-used blocks from first-century mausolea (Drawing by Francesca Bigi) and Tombstone of Regina from South Shields (Arbeia) (Tyne and WearArchives and Museums/ Bridgeman Images).
