Book Synopsis Strangers in the Land: Traveling Texts, Imagined Others, and Captured Souls in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Traditions in Late Antique and Mediaeval Times by :
Download or read book Strangers in the Land: Traveling Texts, Imagined Others, and Captured Souls in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Traditions in Late Antique and Mediaeval Times written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the ways in which representatives of different monotheistic traditions experienced themselves as “the other” or were perceived and described as such by their contemporaries. This central category – which includes not only those of different religions, but also converts, foreigners, sectarians, and women – is studied from various perspectives in a range of texts composed by Jewish, Christian, and Muslim authors during late antique and mediaeval times. Conceptualizations of such “others” are often intrinsically related to the idea of exile, another important category that is analysed in this work.
Book Synopsis An Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Syntax by : Bruce K. Waltke
Download or read book An Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Syntax written by Bruce K. Waltke and published by Eisenbrauns. This book was released on 1990 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meeting the need for a textbook for classroom use after first year Hebrew grammar, Waltke and O'Connor integrate the results of modern linguistic study of Hebrew and years of experience teaching the subject in this book. In addition to functioning as a teaching grammar, this work will also be widely used for reference and self-guided instruction in Hebrew beyond the first formal year. Extensive discussion and explanation of grammatical points help to sort out points blurred in introductory books. More than 3,500 Biblical Hebrew examples illustrate the points of grammar under discussion. Four indexes (Scripture, Authorities cited, Hebrew words, and Topics) provide ready access to the vast array of information found in the 40 chapters. Destined to become a classic work, this long-awaited book fills a major gap among modern publications on Biblical Hebrew.

Book Synopsis Three Approaches to Biblical Metaphor by : Mordechai Z. Cohen
Download or read book Three Approaches to Biblical Metaphor written by Mordechai Z. Cohen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores how the poetic technique of biblical metaphor was analyzed within the Jewish exegetical tradition that developed in Muslim Spain during the Golden Age of Hebrew poetry and was then transplanted to a Christian milieu. Abraham Ibn Ezra and Maimonides applied concepts from Arabic poetics, hermeneutics and logic to define metaphor and interpret it within their philological-literary readings of Scripture. David Kimhi integrated their methodologies with the midrashic creativity and sensitivity to nuance typical of his native Provence to create a new literary interpretive system that highlights the expressiveness of metaphor. This study is important for readers interested in metaphor, the Bible as literature, the history of biblical interpretation and the inter-relation between Arabic and Hebrew learning.
Book Synopsis Creating Judaism by : Michael L. Satlow
Download or read book Creating Judaism written by Michael L. Satlow and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2006-12-19 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we define "Judaism," and what are the common threads uniting ancient rabbis, Maimonides, the authors of the Zohar, and modern secular Jews in Israel? Michael L. Satlow offers a fresh perspective on Judaism that recognizes both its similarities and its immense diversity. Presenting snapshots of Judaism from around the globe and throughout history, Satlow explores the links between vastly different communities and their Jewish traditions. He studies the geonim, rabbinical scholars who lived in Iraq from the ninth to twelfth centuries; the intellectual flourishing of Jews in medieval Spain; how the Hasidim of nineteenth-century Eastern Europe confronted modernity; and the post-World War II development of distinct American and Israeli Jewish identities. Satlow pays close attention to how communities define themselves, their relationship to biblical and rabbinic texts, and their ritual practices. His fascinating portraits reveal the amazingly creative ways Jews have adapted over time to social and political challenges and continue to remain a "Jewish family."
Book Synopsis A Universal Art. Hebrew Grammar across Disciplines and Faiths by : Nadia Vidro
Download or read book A Universal Art. Hebrew Grammar across Disciplines and Faiths written by Nadia Vidro and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Universal Art. Hebrew Grammar Across Disciplines and Faiths reflects on medieval and early modern Hebrew linguistics as a discipline that crossed geographic and religious borders and linked up with a plethora of scholarly activities, from Judaeo-Arabic Bible translations to the Renaissance search for the holiest alphabet. This collection of articles presents a cross-section of new research avenues on Hebraism, Karaite, Rabbanite and Christian, with an emphasis on the transmission of linguistic ideas through time and space among different communities, cultures and religious currents. The resulting picture is one of intrinsic variation and dynamic growth as opposed to the linear paradigm of development, culmination and stagnation current in the historiography of Hebrew linguistics.
Book Synopsis Sacred Text by : Juan Pedro Monferrer Sala
Download or read book Sacred Text written by Juan Pedro Monferrer Sala and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which gathers seventeen contributions, investigates some lexical and textual aspects in the 'sacred texts' - like the Bible in its several textual traditions, and the Qur'ān -, particulary those elements that serve to provide the textual structure with a lexical-semantic framework. These contributions have been focused on several linguistic aspects: etymologies, loanwords, the symbolic or figurative values of the terms used in the text, the syntagmatic potential of the words, and the literary reflection of the terms like the basic reading of the text and its subsequent comprehension.
Book Synopsis Studies in Semitic Vocalisation and Reading Traditions by : Aaron Hornkohl
Download or read book Studies in Semitic Vocalisation and Reading Traditions written by Aaron Hornkohl and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 713 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together papers relating to the pronunciation of Semitic languages and the representation of their pronunciation in written form. The papers focus on sources representative of a period that stretches from late antiquity until the Middle Ages. A large proportion of them concern reading traditions of Biblical Hebrew, especially the vocalisation notation systems used to represent them. Also discussed are orthography and the written representation of prosody. Beyond Biblical Hebrew, there are studies concerning Punic, Biblical Aramaic, Syriac, and Arabic, as well as post-biblical traditions of Hebrew such as piyyuṭ and medieval Hebrew poetry. There were many parallels and interactions between these various language traditions and the volume demonstrates that important insights can be gained from such a wide range of perspectives across different historical periods.

Book Synopsis The Arabic Language Across the Ages by : Juan Pedro Monferrer Sala
Download or read book The Arabic Language Across the Ages written by Juan Pedro Monferrer Sala and published by Dr Ludwig Reichert. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arabic language across the ages represents a significant contribution to Arabic linguistics and philology. The book provides a variety of studies that address different aspects of the Arabic language. Some of the contributions are diachronic, focusing on the status quo of the language while others explore its history and development. It also provides text-analysis as well as geographical-based studies. Moreover, the relationship between Arabic and other languages is underlined. More specifically, the book presents studies on Arabic dialectology (e.g., Arabic North-African dialects), morphology (e.g., The Arabic plural), lexicology and lexicography (e.g., culinary lexicon), phonetics and phonology (e.g., vocalization), syntax (e.g., the function of the particle bi-), sociolinguistics (e.g. A lexical atlas of the Arab world), and history (e.g., dialects of Arabic before and after Classical Arabic). The present book is intended to be the first of a forthcoming series of publications on different aspects of the Arabic language, history and culture. The topics addressed offer a balanced treatment of the Arabic of today and the Arabic of the past. The book can be of great interest for linguists of Arabic, the students of Arabic as a native language or a foreign language, professors and students at departments of Semitic studies, Islamic studies and Middle Eastern studies at all universities. It can be also of interest for scholars studying the history and culture of the Arab world. Needless to say, general linguists may find some of the linguistic issues addressed quite relevant and of universal significance (e.g., Arabic broken plural). Dialectologists and researchers interested in language varieties will, undoubtedly, find some of the studies quite interesting since some understudied historical and current dialects of Arabic are investigated. This specific aspect of Arabic linguistics offers infinite number of research possibilities due to the diglossic relationship between Modern Standard Arabic or Classical Arabic and its various dialects as well as the rich variety of dialects spoken throughout the Arab World. The contributions presented in this book are simply eye opening, whetting our appetite for more. They definitely demonstrate that the Arabic language is still almost a virgin field of study, providing various research ideas to pursue.

Book Synopsis Le shi'isme imāmite quarante ans après by : Etan Kohlberg
Download or read book Le shi'isme imāmite quarante ans après written by Etan Kohlberg and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au printemps 1968, lorsque la France et bon nombre d'endroits dans le monde etaient secoues par des mouvements de protestations sociopolitiques importants, quelques grands savants se reunissaient a la vieille et prestigieuse universite de Strasbourg et allaient declencher un veritable tournant dans les etudes islamologiques en Occident. En effet, pour la premiere fois, des chercheurs d'envergure mondiale se rencontraient dans un colloque exclusivement consacre au shi'isme imamite. Les conferences et les discussions aboutirent a la publication d'un excellent recueil d'articles: Le shi'isme imamite: Colloque de Strasbourg (6-9 mai 1968), Presses Universitaires de France, Paris 1970. Si nous avons souhaite associer le 40e anniversaire de cet evenement a l'hommage que nous voulions rendre a Etan Kohlberg, c'est pour souligner le role majeur de ce dernier dans l'enrichissement et l'approfondissement des etudes consacrees au shiisme imamite. En effet, l'ampleur de ses connaissances, la rigueur radicale de son erudition et ses grandes qualites humaines ont ete des facteurs decisifs dans la diffusion des etudes shi'ites et leur transmission a travers la formation de generations entieres de chercheurs. Ainsi, ce volume d'hommage se veut un temoignage de l'essor grandissant des etudes shi'ites imamites et de la dette indeniable de celles-ci aux savants reunis, il y a quarante ans, a Strasbourg, ainsi qu'a l'oeuvre immense d'Etan Kohlberg.
