HaMapah, a project of e-Lijah Lab, a digital humanities laboratory at the Department of Jewish History and Bible Studies in the University of Haifa, aims to bring modern tools of quantitative and geographic analysis to Rabbinic literature. HaMapah develops tools that allow researchers to quantify rabbinic authority quickly and easily, such as their searchable map of Hebrew place names, which visually represents rabbis' network of correspondence, spheres of influence, and the trajectory of their careers through time and across space. They are also working on a comprehensive database of “Prenumeranten” (subscriber lists that appeared in c. 1500 Hebrew books printed primarily in Europe during the 18th – 20th centuries), and currently have a blog.
