Carlo Ginzburg, arguably the greatest living historian until his death this past June, changed how we understand the past. His 1976 classic The Cheese and the Worms, about a sixteenth-century Italian miller, launched microhistory itself. But who was the man behind the method?
On this special episode, co-sponsored by the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History at UCLA, Gilad sits down with two people who knew him intimately: his close friend Prof. Amnon Raz-Krakotzkin (Ben-Gurion University) and his longtime UCLA colleague Prof. David N. Myers.
The episode is sponsored by the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History at UCLA and co-hosted by Prof David N. Myers.
