Haskalah and Beyond
Haskalah and Beyond deals with the Hebrew Haskalah (Enlightenment) — the literary, cultural, and social movement in the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe. It represents the emergence of modernism and perhaps the budding of some aspects of secularism in Jewish society, following the efforts of the Hebrew and Jewish enlighteners to introduce changes into Jewish culture and Jewish life, and to revitalize the Hebrew language and literature. The author classifies these activities as a 'cultural revolution.' In effect, the Haskalah was a counter-culture intended to modify or replace some of the contemporary rabbinic cultural framework, institutions, and practices and adopt them for its own envis...
Kabbala und Haskala
In dieser Studie wird die jüdische Aufklärung in ihrer spezifischen Ausprägung bei Isaak Satanow (1732–1804) sowie dessen einzigartige Verwendung der jüdischen Mystik zur Harmonisierung verschiedenster Wissensfelder dargestellt, analysiert und kontextualisiert. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit erhalten dabei die Schrift Imre Bina (Worte der Einsicht) und seine Neufassung des Hauptwerkes der Kabbala Zohar Tinyana (Ein zweiter Zohar). Es wird hierbei primär sowohl die Funktion kabbalistischer Symbolik in ihrer Aufnahme und Interpretation bei Satanow beleuchtet, als auch deren vermittelnde Aufgabe innerhalb seiner außergewöhnlichen Synthese aus Berliner Aufklärung, moderner Naturwissenschaft,...

Introduction to Old Yiddish Literature
Jean Baumgarten's Introduction to Old Yiddish Literature, thoroughly revised from the first edition and translated into English, provides students and scholars of medieval, Renaissance, and early modern European cultures with an exemplary survey of the broad and deep literary tradition in Yiddish. Baumgarten conceives of his work as the study of an entire culture via its literature, and thus he conceives of literature in a broad sense: he begins with four chapters addressing pertinent issues of the larger cultural context of the literature and moves on to a consideration of the primary genres in which the culture is expressed (epic, romance, prose narrative, drama, biblical translation and commentary, ethical and moral treatises, prayers, and the broad range of literature of daily use - medical, legal, and historical). In the field of early Yiddish studies the book will be the standard of intellectual breadth and scholarly excellence for decades to come. In this second edition, the hundreds of text citations and bibliographical references that are the scholarly basis of the study have been verified, and the citations translated anew directly from the original source.
Kaufmanns Nachrichtendienst
This study concerns David Kaufmann ́s »News Service« as an example of Jewish scholarly networks during the 19th century. David Kaufmann (1852–1899) was a Professor at the Rabbi Seminar in Budapest during the last third of the 19th century and was one of the major influences in the Jewish science movement, known since the 1820s as the Science of Judaism. Using as an example Kaufmann ́s »News Service,« a correspondence network of Jewish authors and scholars, Mirjam Thulin studes the networking strategies of the Jewish scholarly community during that era. The study also provides detailed insights into the many cultural and scientific aspects contained in the history of Jewish knowledge transfer and the Science of Judaism during the 19th century.
