Kommentar/Beschreibung

With the printing of the so-called Rabbinic Bible, the "Mikra'ot Gedolot" (literally "Great Scriptures"), in the 16th century, some of the medieval Jewish commentaries on the text of the Hebrew Bible became "classical" and formative within Judaism, and they certainly belong to the most influential texts of rabbinic Judaism until today. It should be noted, however, that the Mikra'ot Gedolot contains only a few of these commentaries, although admittedly some of the most important and most interesting, and the commentary literature is in fact much more entensive. Prof. Robert Harris, a world-leading specialist of this literature, will provide a detailed overview over this vast literature, both from the Mikra'ot Gedolot and beyond, offering not only deep and nuanced insights into the intellectual world of medieval Judaism, but also opening fascinating and often unique new perspectives on the Biblical text itself.
The seminar is conducted as a joint reading, analyzis and discussion of the commentaries of different authors, from the Hebrew original. The source will be provided to the partipants.
Students interested in participating at this course are kindly advised to take part also in the weekly "Oberseminar".
