Geraldine Brooks is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and novelist who researched the Sarajevo Haggadah's wartime rescues for this feature, drawing on interviews and on Dervis Korkut's own family and colleagues. Its strength is sustained investigative reporting on the human story behind the manuscript's survival, published in a magazine with a strong fact checking record. Its limit is that it is journalism rather than peer reviewed art history, so it is cited here for the rescue narrative rather than for the manuscript's physical description.
