  • Multilingualism and the Jews of Byzantium in the Middle Period

    Open AccessNicholas De Lange, Nicholas LangeARTICLEJournal of Late Antique Islamic…2024

    The Jewish minority in Byzantium in the ninth to twelfth centuries was mainly Greek-speaking, as is now clear from the Cairo Genizah discoveries. However, Greek education was rare, and it was Hebrew that served as the written and learned language, as well as for prayer and bible reading. A unique, artificial form of Greek was used to translate bible readings: it combined Greek vocabulary with Hebrew syntax. Aramaic was used in synagogues for spec…

  • Japheth in the Tents of Shem: Greek Bible Translations in Byzantine Judaism

    Nicholas De Lange, Nicholas LangeBOOKJapheth in the Tents of Shem2015

    Much scholarly attention has been paid to the Greek Bible translations employed in the Byzantine Church, whereas those used in the Byzantine synagogue have so far been largely ignored. Nicholas de Lange attempts to remedy this lack by collecting together all the available evidence for such translations from the Cairo Genizah fragments and other manuscript sources, setting it within its context in Byzantine Judaism. He traces the history of the tr…

  • Metabolic costs and evolutionary implications of human brain development

    Open AccessChristopher W Kuzawa, Harry T Chugani et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2014

    Significance The metabolic costs of brain development are thought to explain the evolution of humans’ exceptionally slow and protracted childhood growth; however, the costs of the human brain during development are unknown. We used existing PET and MRI data to calculate brain glucose use from birth to adulthood. We find that the brain’s metabolic requirements peak in childhood, when it uses glucose at a rate equivalent to 66% of the body’s restin…

  • Jewish Reception of Greek Bible Versions: Studies in Their Use in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages

    Nicholas Lange, Julia Krivoruchko et al.BOOKJewish Reception of Greek Bible…2009

    The authors of the essays collected in this volume are all concerned with the Jewish transmission and use of Greek translations of the biblical books from Late Antiquity to the early modern period. It is only in recent years that the idea of such a Jewish transmission has gained acceptance, and the present volume represents the first attempt to bring together contributions from specialists in a number of areas, including not only biblical and Jew…

  • Prier et étudier à Byzance

    Nicholas De Lange, Nicholas LangeARTICLERevue des Études Juives1999

    A study of Jewish scholarship and worship in the Byzantine empire in its heyday before the Latin conquest of 1204 reveals, on the one hand, how closely they conform to contemporary Jewish models from other countries, and, at the same time, certain features that mark Byzantine Jewry out as unique. Foremost among these is the use of Greek Bible translations, that stand in a tradition going back to the ancient world

  • Hebrew/Greek Manuscripts: Some Notes

    Nicholas De Lange, Nicholas LangeARTICLEJournal of Jewish Studies1995

    Ces remarques concernent les manuscrits qui combinent l'hebreu et le grec et dans lesquels le grec est ecrit a l'aide de caracteres hebreux. Ces manuscrits constituent un large corpus qui n'a jamais ete systematiquement analyse. Cette pratique de la combinaison des deux langues est ancienne. La pratique du grec par les juifs et ainsi l'alternance entre grec et hebreu offre des similitudes avec la pratique rabbinique de combinaison entre hebreu et…
