Jewish Land Surveyors in Eleventh-Century Catalonia and the Introduction of Arabic Science to Europe
A Transnational History of Bilingual Jewish Charters from Medieval Europe
Throughout medieval Europe, Hebrew records were accepted as evidence of economic and legal activities. European archives, chanceries and cartularies are dotted with Hebrew signatures, lines of text and full-fledged documents. This article limits itself to one form of practical document that is defined, not by content, but by visual and linguistic features: Jewish bilingual charters, mainly in Latin and Hebrew. The article is an exercise in transn…
A Cultural History of Bilingual Charters from Catalonia: Language and Identity
This study concentrates on bilingual charters from tenth- and eleventh-century Catalonia. It shows that Jews participated in the Christian bureaucracy and that Hebrew was incorporated into Latin deeds. Furthermore, local Latin formulas and documents were internalized into the Hebrew formulas and subsequently into the Jewish legal system in this region and era. After offering a survey of this corpus, the article attempts to provide a cultural hist…
Hatpasah – Jewish translata documents from medieval Catalonia: Formulae, law and society
This article presents a type of medieval Jewish document – a reproduction of an authenticated copy – called in Hebrew hatpasah. These documents, with accompanying formulae, were a Catalan Jewish approach to reproducing private deeds, in tandem with and parallel to Latin translatio. Such authoritative copies could work together, supersede, replace and, at times, conflict with Jewish legal norms. This practice seems to have arisen from contact betw…
Jewish heaven, Christian hell: Rabbi Joshua ben Levi’s vision of the afterlife
This article aims to contribute to the history of medieval Jewish perceptions of the afterlife. It presents Rabbi Joshua ben Levi’s ‘Vision of heaven and hell’, a twelfth-century text that differs sharply from all other descriptions of heaven and hell, whether Jewish or Christian, by disregarding graduated judgements of sinners and the righteous in the afterlife. Rather, it depicts a strictly segregated scenario, with Jews in heaven and non-Jews …
Peter Abelard, Heloise and Jewish Biblical Exegesis in the Twelfth Century
This paper revisits the question of the influence of Jewish biblical exegesis on Christian scholars in twelfth-century France, by focusing in particular on Abelard's response to a question of Heloise in her Problemata about questions raised by 1 Samuel ii.35–6 (=1 Regum ii.35–6) concerning ‘the faithful priest’ prophesied as Eli's successor, the meaning of ‘will walk before my anointed’ and the nature of the offering his household should make. Ab…
