SUMMARY:Gershom Scholem Lecture 2025:“Wenn Dich von hier tut der Angelus vertreiben“. Ein Festvortrag von Prof. Dr. Saverio Campanini (Universität Bologna)
DESCRIPTION:Begrüßung\nProf. Dr. Hans van Ess\nVizepräsident für den Bereich Forschung\, der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität\, München \n& \nFrau Ministerin Dorothea Bär\nBundesministerin für Forschung\, Technologie und Raumfahrt \nEinführung\nProf. Dr. Ronny Vollandt\nProfessor für Judaistik\, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität\, München \nFestvortrag\nProf. Dr. Saverio Campanini\nProfessor für hebräische Sprache und Literatur\, Universität Bologna \nGershom Scholem zählt zweifellos zu den bedeutendsten und einflussreichsten jüdischen Gelehrten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit seinem umfangreichen Werk zur Kabbala\, jüdischen Philosophie und Religionsgeschichte legte er den Grundstein für die wissenschaftliche Erforschung der jüdischen Mystik. Weniger bekannt ist jedoch seine besondere Verbindung zu München\, einer Stadt\, die gleich dreimal eine wichtige Rolle in seinem Leben spielte:\nZum ersten Mal hielt sich Scholem von 1919 bis 1922 in München auf\, wo er seine Studien abschloss und an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Semitistik promovierte – kurz bevor er nach Palästina unter britischem Mandat emigrierte\, wo er seit ihrer Eröffnung an der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem tätig war. Sein zweiter Aufenthalt im Jahr 1932 war von kurzer Dauer\, doch veröffentlichte er in dieser Zeit eine scharfe Polemik gegen Hans-Joachim Schoeps\, den Autor des Werkes „Jüdischer Glaube in dieser Zeit“. Scholem warf Schoeps vor\, die jüdischen Traditionen zu verfremden\, indem er sie an eine protestantisch geprägte Denkweise und die Erwartungen der deutschen Mehrheitsgesellschaft anpasste. Der dritte und letzte Besuch führte ihn 1974 nach München zurück\, als er den Großen Literaturpreis der Bayerischen Akademie der Schönen Künste entgegennahm. In seiner bedeutenden Rede „Mein Weg zur Kabbala“ verdeutlichte er die tiefgreifende Verflechtung seiner biografischen und akademischen Entwicklung.\nDer Vortrag beleuchtet\, wie diese drei Aufenthalte in München entscheidende Wendepunkte in Scholems Leben und Schaffen markierten. Zugleich wird er der Frage nachgehen\, ob die Wahl Münchens als Schauplatz dieser biografischen Stationen bloßer Zufall gewesen sein kann. Hinter dieser Frage ist vielleicht eine allgemeinere verborgen: kann man die Bestimmung\, die das Gegenteil von Zufall sein sollte\, auch Schicksal nennen? \nDie Vortragsreihe erinnert an Gershom Scholem\, der in der Geschichte der Judaistik in München eine herausragende Rolle spielt. Er wurde 1922 an der LMU promoviert. Nach seiner Emigration nach Palästina wurde er Professor an der Hebräischen Universität in Jerusalem sowie Präsident der Israelischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Scholem gilt als Wiederentdecker der Kabbala und führte die akademische Erforschung der jüdischen Mystik in die moderne Wissenschaft ein. Mit seinen zahlreichen Veröffentlichungen zu diesem Thema gilt er heute als einer der bedeutendsten Judaisten deutsch-jüdischer Herkunft. \nDie Veranstaltung soll die Münchener Judaistik einem allgemeinen Publikum zugänglich machen und an deren bedeutende Geschichte mit einem Festvortrag erinnern. \nIm Anschluss an den Festvortrag lädt die Abteilung für Judaistik zu einem Empfang ein.\nU. A. w.g. bis 15.7.2025 an jac@culture.lmu.de

SUMMARY:Masterclass "Mizrahi Music: The Postvernacular Age!?" with Dr. Diana Matut (Alte Synagoge - Haus der jüdischen Kultur in Essen)
DESCRIPTION:From the margins to mainstream – this is how Mizrahi music has often been described. What reads as a story of revivalist success is\, under close scrutiny\, rather a story of complete social\, linguistic and musical shift into an age of musical post-vernacularity. Mizrakhi music thrives in post-modern\, post-revival\, post-vernacular amalgams\, producing aesthetically pleasing\, incredible performances and recordings\, but musical vernacularity has been lost for the most part. \nThis course will engage with various questions regarding the past and present of Arab-Jewish musical cultures as well as cultural concepts of transfer and interference. It will analyse the social history of Mizrahi musics\, women’s performance practices as bearers of traditions as well as innovators and analyse chosen pieces. \nThere is no need to read music\, know Arabic\, Turkish\, Ladino or Hebrew when attending this course\, but please inform me if you do know any of these languages in advance. If you play an instrument that you’d like to bring to class\, please tell me well in advance as well. Thank you! \n  \nThursday\,\n10th April 2025\nVenue: Raum W401 (Lehrturm)\, Professor-Huber-Platz 2\, 80539 München \nFirst Session\n10:00-12:30 \nBREAK 12:30-14:00 \nSecond Session\n14:00-16:00 \n  \nFriday\, 11th April 2025\nVenue: Raum W401 (Lehrturm)\, Professor-Huber-Platz 2\, 80539 München \nThird Session\n10:00-12:30 \nBREAK 12:30-14:00 \nFourth Session\n14:00-16.00 \n  \nDiana Matut is a research fellow at the department for Jewish Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU). She is director of the Old Synagogue – House of Jewish Culture in Essen and regularly teaches Jewish Music (and Old Yiddish) for the Oxford Center for Hebrew and Jewish Studies\, for the Aleph Cantorial Program and the Other Music Academy – Yiddish Summer Weimar.\nShe is a Jewish and Yiddish Studies scholar (having minored in Semitic Languages)\, as well as a musician. Her special interests are the history of Yiddish music and literature\, questions relating to gender and performance practice as well as the interconnectivity between Jewish and non-Jewish musics\, musicians and music-making.

SUMMARY:Vortrag von Dr. Diana Matut (Alte Synagoge - Haus der jüdischen Kultur in Essen): "Her:Voice. Die vernakularen Liedkulturen jüdischer Frauen"
DESCRIPTION:Säkulare jüdische Frauen und Anhängerinnen der Reformbewegungen haben die Freiheit\, sich in jeder Form von Musik auszudrücken. Diese Freiheit ist jedoch ein relativ neues Phänomen. Historisch sowie im gegenwärtigen orthodoxen bzw. haredischen Kontext kann Singen ein höchst transgressiver und provokativer Akt sein\, der von vielen Faktoren abhängt. \nDieser Vortrag möchte die Her:Story singender jüdischer Frauen herausarbeiten\, wobei besonders der vernakulare Gesang im Vordergrund steht. Er wird der Frage nachgehen\, wie unterschiedliche halachische Interpretationen und diverse sozio-historische Kontexte sehr unterschiedliche Umgebungen für die musikalischen Praktiken und Möglichkeiten jüdischer Frauen schufen\, die bis ins 21. Jahrhundert hinein resonieren. \nDer Vortrag möchte jüdische Frauen als Innovatorinnen darstellen\, als diejenigen\, die in liminalen Momenten der Lebenszyklen musikalische Schlüsselfunktionen innehatten und -haben\, aber auch als Menschen\, die durch wechselnde halachische Interpretationen und männliche professionelle Konkurrenz historisch in der Ausübung ihrer Kunst stark herausgefordert wurden. Nicht zuletzt stellt dieser Vortrag Gesangspraktiken vor\, die orthodoxe und haredische Jüdinnen heute erneut für sich reklamieren. \nDiana Matut ist Research Fellow in der Abteilung für Judaistik der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). Sie ist Leiterin der Alten Synagoge – Haus der jüdischen Kultur in Essen und unterrichtet regelmäßig jüdische Musik (und Altjiddisch) am Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies\, für das Aleph Cantorial Program und die Other Music Academy – Yiddish Summer Weimar.\nSie ist Judaistin\, Jiddistin (mit fortgeschrittenen Kenntnissen zu semitischen Sprachen) und Musikerin. Ihr besonderes Interesse gilt der Geschichte der jiddischen Musik und Literatur\, Fragen zu Gender und Aufführungspraxis\, sowie den Verbindungen zwischen jüdischen und nicht-jüdischen Musiken\, Musikern und Musikproduktionen. \n  \nDatum: Mittwoch\, 9. April 2025\nZeit: 18:00 c. t.\nOrt: Hauptgebäude\, Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1\, 80539 München\nRaum: A015

SUMMARY:Lunch-Time Lecture with Prof. Dr. Craig Perry (Emory University): "Slavery and Jewish-Muslim Entanglement in Medieval Egypt\, 11th-13th c."
DESCRIPTION:The Jewish community of Cairo preserved what is arguably one of the richest archives for the study of slavery in the medieval Middle East. This talk will explore these writings to illustrate different aspects of Jewish-Muslim entanglements in Egypt and beyond. The main themes will include: the interplay of Jewish and Islamic slavery law; slave-owning and the construction of Jewish masculinities; and the lives of unfree and freed peoples in this entangled society. \nCraig Perry is an assistant professor at Emory University in Atlanta\, Georgia in the Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies\, the Tam Institute for Jewish Studies\, and the Islamic Civilizations Studies Graduate Program. He is co-editor of The Cambridge World History of Slavery: Volume 2\, AD 500 – AD 1420 (2021). In Fall 2025\, his book Slavery in a Medieval Islamic Society: a Jewish History\, will be published by Princeton University Press. \n \n

SUMMARY:Auctor – Auctoritas – Authorship: Claiming Authorial Agency in Rabbinic Literature and Medieval Midrash
DESCRIPTION:Auctor – Auctoritas – Authorship\nClaiming Authorial Agency in Rabbinic Literature and Medieval Midrash\n \n  \nThe modern concept of the individual author as a creative genius plays an eminent role in literary studies. Its omnipresence and applicability to medieval texts have been questioned under the influence of Roland Barthes’ essay ‚La mort de l‘auteur‘ (1968) and Michel Foucault’s ‚‚Qu’est-ce qu’un auteur?‘ (1969). Being foremostly anonymously and collectively created works\, many rabbinic and medieval texts display multiform textual states resulting in manifold manuscript variants rooted in their respective creative production and transmission processes involving different agents. This assertion also applies to Jewish and Arabic or Eastern literary cultural contexts which mingle authorship with transmission processes. Also\, Alistair Minnis who studied Western medieval authorship negates the accuracy of this overarching concept of the individual author when it comes to medieval texts claiming that this anachronistic conception‚ has no historical validity as far as medieval literature is concerned‘ (Minnis 1984:1). \nDespite these structuralist and post-structuralist attempts to dethrone the modern notion of the author diverting the focus of research to the texts themselves (and their readers)\, the author concept returned in the early 1990s and continues to haunt scholars ever since. \nBoth views\, the overemphasizing of the modern concept of the author as well as the claimof his absence in rabbinic and early-medieval literature\, oversimplify authorship. With this workshop\, we intend to challenge/question both these views by drawing attention to overlooked notions of rabbinic and medieval authorship. By studying the consciously applied mechanisms of auctores and their attempts to exert auctoritas we focus on methods of authorial agency that claim ownership in pre-modern literary production and transmission. To date these aspects have been largely ignored when investigating pre-modern literary creation in the Near East and beyond. \nThe workshop thus focuses on different aspects of authoriality\, authorial agency\, and new more nuanced concepts of medieval authorship in rabbinic literature early medieval midrashic texts (2nd to 10th centuries CE). It approaches them also with a comparative perspective to Judaeo-Arabic literary production\, in which novel notions of authorship emerge. \n\n\n\nThursday\, 5 December 2024 (10:00-18:00)\n10:00 – 10:20\nIntroduction / Opening Words (20 minutes)\n1.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture and Masterclass with Maya Shatzmiller: "The Use and Abuse of the Genizah Documents"
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture: “The Use and Abuse of the Genizah Documents: The Genizah and Medieval Economic History: Judeo-Islamic Symbiosis or Misconceptions? Four Cases” \nSixty years have passed since S. D. Goitein first drew attention to the Genizah documents as a unique source for writing the economic history of the Middle East\, among other.  Since then\, the work of researchers further documented how important are these medieval quantitative data. Recently\, however\, the content and the interpretation of the Jewish traders’ letters from the Geniza\, became a subject of debate and controversy\, suggesting that a review of the use of the Geniza documents may be in order.  \nIn the first lecture I examine four cases where I used quantitative data from the Genizah in the reconstruction ofthe economic structures of the medieval Middle East and raise questions about their indiscriminate use. \nIn the second lecture (masterclass) I will examine the empirical evidence of the model\, based on the Genizah documents\, that economic interaction in the Islamic Middle East was grounded in informal institutions. I suggest that the assimilation of this model with inefficient cultural beliefs and collectivist behaviour attributed to Islamic societies raises concerns of empirical and methodological nature.\n \nThe lecture takes place on Wednesday\, 6 November\, 6:00-8:00 pm at Amalienstraße 73A\, room 112. \nMasterclass: “The Use and Abuse of the Genizah Documents: The Genizah\, the Maghribi Traders’ Debate\, and Collectivist Muslims: How the Genizah Documents Enabled Global Underdevelopment Theory” \nThe masterclass takes place on Thursday\, 7 November\, 2:00-4:00 pm at Edmund-Rumpler Straße 13\, room B 112.

SUMMARY:Caesarea - eine mediterrane Stadt als Schlüssel zur Rabbinischen Literatur
DESCRIPTION:Mit der Zerstörung des Jerusalemer Tempels durch die römische Armee im Jahr 70 n. Chr. verlor das Judentum in der römischen Provinz Palästina sein religiöses\, politisches und administratives Zentrum. In den folgenden Jahrhunderten formierte sich eine Bewegung von Gelehrten\, die als Rabbinen bezeichnet werden. Sie organisierten sich in Lehrbetrieben in verschiedenen Städten und schufen dort Grundsätze in Werken\, die für das Judentum\, wie wir es heute kennen\, zentral sind: die Mischna\, den Jerusalemer Talmud und wichtige Midrasch-Sammlungen. Die klassische rabbinische Literatur setzt sich aus anonymen Sammelwerken zusammen\, die frühere Traditionen aufnehmen\, oft unter Nennung des Gelehrten\, der sie ursprünglich formulierte\, und der Tradentenkette\, die sich oft über Generationen und verschiedene rabbinische Zentren streckte. Bei diesen komplexen Redaktionsprozessen spielte die Rivalität der unterschiedlichen rabbinischen Zentren\, wie z.B. Tiberias und Sepphoris\, eine maßgebliche Rolle. \nDieser Vortrag wird ein Schlaglicht auf die Tätigkeit der Gelehrten in Caesarea werfen\, deren Beitrag zu den klassischen rabbinischen Werken von besonderem Interesse ist\, da sie in der mediterranen Provinzhauptstadt wirkten und damit einen besonderen Status genossen. Sie waren außerdem in einer internationalen Atmosphäre verwurzelt. Die Gelehrten Caesareas stellen damit eine markante Gruppe innerhalb der rabbinischen Bewegung dar\, die oft weltoffenere Positionen vertrat als spätere\, in Tiberias ansässige Redaktoren der rabbinischen Sammelwerke. Der Vortrag wird einige Schlüsselpassagen der beiden Hauptquellen für die Traditionen Caesareas\, nämlich des Jerusalemer Talmuds und des Midrasch Genesis Rabbah\, vergleichen\, um nach Spuren tiberianischer Redaktion und Agenden zu fragen und das ursprüngliche Profil der Traditionen zu rekonstruieren. Damit ist der Vortrag auch ein Beitrag zur Untersuchung des Pluralismus innerhalb des rabbinischen Judentums. \n  \nVortragende: Prof. Dr. Maren Niehoff (Hebräische Universität Jerusalem) \n  \nProf. Dr. Dr. h.c. Bernd Huber\, Präsident der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität\, übernimmt die Grußworte. \n  \nIm Anschluss wird es einen Empfang geben.

SUMMARY:Friedrich Grote: Ein gescheiterter Bibeljäger und sein Vermächtnis
DESCRIPTION:Ein Vortrag von Peter Tarras (LMU München) in der 4MZ-Reihe “Kulturen des Islam: Aktuelle Forschung” \n  \nIm 19. Jahrhundert erlebte die Jagd europäischer Gelehrter nach den ältesten Bibelhandschriften ihre Hochphase. Einer der unterschätztesten Handschriftenjäger dieser Zeit ist Friedrich Grote (1861-1922). In den 1890er Jahren kündigte er einen sensationellen Fund an. Trotz Begeisterung der Öffentlichkeit wurde er von der Fachwelt zurückgewiesen\, was aus dem Gelehrten einen Händler und Sammler machte. Seine Sammlung bestand aus hunderten von Fragmenten aus dem St. Katharinenkloster auf dem Sinai. Hier hatten zuvor Bibeljäger wie Constantin Tischendorf ihre bahnbrechenden Entdeckungen gemacht; auch Grote war hier zugange. Als Forscher übertraf er Tischendorf nicht\, dafür aber bei Weitem bei der Zerstreuung der Kulturgüter des Sinaiklosters. Dieser Vortrag widmet sich dem Kontext und den Folgen seiner Tätigkeit und macht auf die Bedeutung der Provenienzforschung für den Umgang mit nahöstlichem Kulturgut aufmerksam. \n  \nProgramm der 4MZ-Reihe “Kulturen des Islam: Aktuelle Forschung” \n  \n  \nVerantwortlich für den Inhalt: Münchner Mittelost-Mittelmeer-Mittelasien-Zentrum (4MZ)

SUMMARY:Masterclass on "The representation of Jews and Judaism in al-Andalus: texts and contexts" with Prof. Dr. Maribel Fierro (CAS fellow\, January to March 2024)
DESCRIPTION:The representation of Jews and Judaism in al-Andalus: texts and contexts \nIn al-Andalus (Muslim Iberia)\, the Jewish community flourished to the extent that their historical experience was labelled as a ‘Golden Age’ by 19th century European Jews who found in it a precedent to legitimize their insertion into the wider society: in Sefarad\, they claimed\, Jews – while adapting to Islamic society and civilization – had managed to strengthen their religion and culture. The ways in which Jews living in al-Andalus reflected about such adaptation and the tensions it created within the community have been studied by a number of scholars\, and the ‘Golden Age’ trope and its modern (controversial) reception have also been analyzed. Having such studies as the background\, my interest lies in how Jews and Judaism were represented by Andalusi Muslims\, and the extent to which they took into account the internal Jewish perspectives. The views of some Muslim authors such as Ibn Ḥazm (d. 1064) and Ṣāʽid al-Ṭulayṭulī (d. 1069) have been so far paid attention to in modern scholarship\, but there are less known texts that illuminate the areas in which Muslims showed some interest about a religious community that formed part of their society. Andalusi religious coexistence (‘convivencia’) has both been celebrated and denied often in connection with present needs and emotions. Looking back at the texts in which Andalusi Muslims talked about Jews and the contexts in which such texts were written raises questions about how al-Andalus has been and is imagined and its relation to history\, and what is gained and what is lost by privileging what I would call an ’emotional’ approach to al-Andalus. \n  \n!!! 27.02.2024 !!! \nSession 1: The early period: Jews as helpers of the Muslims \nSession 2: The Cordoban caliphate and the Taifa period: Arabized and ‘Islamicate’ Jews \n  \n!!! 28.02.2024 !!!\n \nSession 3: The Almohad period: forced conversion \nSession 4: Sefarad and Convivencia

SUMMARY:Saadya Gaon in the Qaraite literature of the 10th–11th centuries
DESCRIPTION:Saadya Gaon’s anti-Qaraite polemic was fundamental for the development of Qaraite literature. In their turn\, Qaraites quoted Saadya and discussed his views so much that their treatises can now be used to reconstruct Saadya’s lost works. This workshop explores anew the inextricable connection between Saadya and the Qaraites by looking at a wide range of previously little studied Qaraite sources from the 10th-11th centuries. \n  \nPROGRAMME \n9:00 am – 10:00 am \nSacha Stern (University College London)\, Rabbi Isaac Nappaḥa\, founder of the Jewish calendar: how a Rabbanite text came to be owned by Qaraites \n  \n10:00 am – 10:30 am \nCoffee break \n  \n10:30 am – 11:30 am \nMaxim Roozen (Freie Universität Berlin)\, References to Saadya Gaon in Yaʿqūb al-Qirqisānī’s Kitāb al-Anwār wa-l-Marāqib \n  \n11:30 am – 12:30 pm \nNadia Vidro (University College London)\, A Qaraite refutation of Kitāb al-Tamyīz by Saadya Gaon and its attribution to Ḥasan Ben Mashiaḥ \n  \n12:30 pm – 2:00 pm \nLunch \n  \n2:00 pm – 3:00 pm \nFriederike Schmidt and Ronny Vollandt (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich)\, References to Saadya Gaon in the works of Sahl ben Maṣliaḥ \n  \n3:00 pm – 3:30 pm \nCoffee break \n  \n3:30 pm – 4:30 pm \nGregor Schwarb (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich)\, Poznański’s Karaite Literary Opponents of Saadiah Gaon 115 years on: the cases of Yeshuʿah ben Yehudah\, Šlomo ben David ha-Naśi\, and Yefet al-Burqumānī

SUMMARY:Genres and Disciplines of Learning in Judaeo-Arabic Literature
DESCRIPTION:Convened by Sarah Stroumsa and Ronny Vollandt\, on behalf of the Society for Judaeo- Arabic Studies\nOrganized by Friederike S. Schmidt and Gregor Schwarb. \nThe emergence of Judaeo-Arabic literature was related to new ways of organizing and transmitting knowledge. The introduction of new disciplines went hand in hand with the development of new teaching methods and textual practices\, as well as the adoption of new literary genres and novel concepts of authorship. These changes had begun in the 9th century but developed mainly over the course of the 10th and the 11th centuries. They had a lasting effect on Jewish literature ever since. Disciplines of learning emerged that had no precedent in rabbinic literature\, such as lexicography\, grammar\, literary theory\, scriptural exegesis\, jurisprudence\, theology\, and philosophy. They reflected contemporaneous developments in non-Jewish literatures and brought along a host of new technical terms and concepts in Arabic. \nWe understand genres and disciplines of learning as dynamic structures that are never fixed and static\, but continuously interact with the reading public\, the social environment\, the literary canon\, and with other texts. \nThe Society of Judaeo-Arabic Studies\, therefore\, invites to the 21st conference of the Society for Judaeo-Arabic Studies Genres and disciplines of learning in Judaeo-Arabic literature (Munich\, 31st of July – 3rd of August 2023)\, a conference on the nature\, development and formation of genres and disciplines of knowledge in Judaeo-Arabic literature. \nThe conference will take place at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich.\n \n  \nPROGRAMME\n  \nMonday\, 31st of July\n10:00 am – 12:00 am \nWalking tour (“Jewish Munich”) \n  \n12:00 am – 1:00 pm \nGet-together at the Institute of Near and Middle Eastern Studies (Veterinärstr. 1) plus light lunch \n  \n2:00 pm \nVenue: Center for Advanced Studies (Seestraße 13) \n  \nWelcome \n  \nTranscending Communal Boundaries (I) \n2:15 pm – 3:45 pm \n  \nPanel I \nChair: Sarah Stroumsa (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) \nDaniel J.

SUMMARY:Writing Christian History in the Abbasid Empire: The Chronicle of Dionysius of Tell-Mahre (d. 845) in its Byzantine and Arab Context
DESCRIPTION:A lecture from Marianna Mazzola (LMU München) in the 4MZ-Reihe “Kulturen des Islam: Aktuelle Forschung”\nThe Chronicle of Dionysius of Tell-Mahre\, a history in Syriac covering the years 582 to 842 AD\, reflects the adaptation of the Syriac Miaphysite Church to the Islamic rule\, allowing to probe into the often-neglected perspective of religious minorities in the Islamic empire.\nHis representation of the past as well as of contemporary events reveals socially and culturally conditioned ideas of Syriac ecclesiastical elites in the Abbasid age: he puts much emphasis on the relations with the Islamic authorities and on conflicts resolution and patriarchal control within the church in a period in which a generally nonchalant attitude of Islamic authorities contributed to the outbreaks of numerous schisms. Dionysius also situates himself in a very competitive historiographical field\, embedding Byzantine and Syriac sources into his work and adapting them to convey his own vision of Christian history in the new context of a non-Christian political setting. \nProgram of the 4MZ-Reihe “Kulturen des Islam: Aktuelle Forschung”

SUMMARY:Masterclass on Geonic Responsa in Munich with Dr. Zvi Stampfer (Hebrew University Jerusalem)
DESCRIPTION:The Responsa literature (Heb. she’elot u-teshuvot\, „questions and answers“) has been an important Jewish literary genre since the eighth century. As the name indicates\, Responsa are queries sent by individuals and communities to a Jewish authority\, and the responses the latter sent back. The Islamic conquest brought most of the world’s Jews under the aegis of one political regime\, thereby enabling rabbinic Jews to establish and maintain a central authority in the form of two Jewish academies (Heb. yeshivot) in Baghdad. The head of each rabbinic academy in Baghdad was called Gaon (pl. geonim). Hence\, Geonic Responsa stand for the correspondence of individuals and communities with the central yeshivot in Baghdad during the 8th-11th centuries. \nOver the course of the Middle Ages\, many thousands of questions and answers in the lands of Islam were compiled into collections and in this form constituted a source for study. The topics discussed cover all aspects of Jewish life\, including law\, theology\, language\, biblical and Talmudic interpretation. Hence\, the Responsa literature represents an extraordinary resource for knowledge about the history and culture of Jews in the Medieval Islamic countries. \n  \nIn this workshop\, we will examine various aspects of the Geonic Responsa\, including their physical features\, their cultural contexts\, and their contribution to the study of medieval Jewish scholarship and of Jewish history. During each session\, different sources will be used. Participants will work with reference material and samples of both published and unpublished responsa. \n  \nOn Wednesday\, 10 May 2023\, the workshop will take place at Edmund-Rumpler-Straße 9\, Room A 119\, and on Thursday\, 11 May 2023\, it will take place at Edmund-Rumpler-Straße 13\, Room B 109. \n  \nWednesday\, 10 May 2023 \n10:00-12:30 First Session \nThe Characteristics of Geonic Responsa \n  \n12:30-14:00 Break \n  \n14:00-15:30 Second Session \nResponsa as a Source for Medieval History \n  \nThursday\, 11 May 2023 \n  \n10:00-12:30 Third Session \nDossier Reconstruction: The Circulation of Geonic Responsa in the Middle Ages \n  \n12:30-14:00 Break \n  \n14:00-15:30 Fourth Session \nResponsa on Theology and Biblical Interpretation

SUMMARY:Verändert Religion unsere Art zu sprechen? Analyse des Arabischen in Kairo
DESCRIPTION:Jüngste Forschungen zum vormodernen jüdischen (Judaeo-)Arabisch argumentieren für eine spezifische Variante des Arabischen in Kairo\, die für Juden einzigartig war. Dieser Vortrag geht der Frage nach\, warum die Religionszugehörigkeit in zeitgenössischen Studien zur historischen Sprachwissenschaft des Arabischen eine so wichtige Rolle spielt. Er zieht Vergleiche zu anderen Metropolregionen im Nahen Osten (zum Beispiel Bagdad)\, in denen die Bedeutung der Religionszugehörigkeit für den Sprachgebrauch anerkannt ist\, und fragt: Hat die Religion die Art und Weise beeinflusst\, wie die jüdischen Einwohner Kairos gesprochen haben? \nEin Vortrag von Magdalen Connolly im Programm der 4MZ-Reihe “Basiswissen Islam: Metropolen”

SUMMARY:Workshop on Jewish Amulets and Jewish History with Prof. Dr. Gideon Bohak (Tel Aviv University)
DESCRIPTION:The aim of this workshop is to offer a broad survey of the history of Jewish amulets and a hands-on experience of studying specific amulets from different periods. \nThe course will be arranged chronologically\, from late antiquity to the twentieth century. In each session\, we shall offer a brief introduction to the types of Jewish amulets known from this period\, and then focus on one or two specific amulets. We shall examine every aspect of these amulets\, including their physical features (writing materials\, layout\, mode of production\, etc.)\, the texts they contain (languages involved\, the use Jewish or non-Jewish sources\, the history of textual traditions\, etc.)\, their social contexts (the identities of the producers and of their clients\, the social location of amulet-production\, etc.)\, and their potential contribution to the study of Jewish magic and of Jewish history as a whole. In each session\, we shall make use of high quality digital images\, as well as transcriptions and translations of specific amulets. Before each session\, the students will read the amulets in question\, and some background reading materials.
