Th anniversary of the Hungarian Jewish Congress
A Jewish Congress was convened and held in Pest (today part of Budapest), Hungary, between mid-December 1868 and late February 1869, in order to establish a nationwide organizational framework for
Truth and/or peace
Controversial religious or quasi-religious issues were responsible for the split within Hungarian Jewry. At the Congress, dividing lines over non-religious, ‘political’ controversies correlated only loosely with those over religious issues, as a rule. In this paper we limit ourselves to corroborating this thesis by taking a closer look at three items on the Congress’s political agenda: (1) electoral issues, (2) centralization, and (3) ecclesiasti…
The Austro-Hungarian Beginnings of the Research on the ‘European Genizah’
Research on Hebrew manuscript fragments retrieved from bookbindings started in the second half of the 19th century, some earlier forays into this field notwithstanding. Austria-Hungary played an important role in this field of research for its first hundred years – a fact that deserves attention. This pioneering research in Austria-Hungary was made possible by a recognition and appreciation of the importance of minor source materials (‘small find…

Jewish Heterodoxy and Christian Denominationalism
The parting of ways between progressive and traditionalist Judaism and the emergence of new forums of communication in the 1830s to 1840s led to increased Jewish political infighting and the formation of Jewish “parties” in Central Europe in Vormärz times (1815–1848). A rabbinic leader and ideologue of the local progressive Jewish movement, and also its first historian, Leopold Löw (1811–1875) was a protagonist of these struggles in Hungary. A co…
Martin Schreiner and Jewish Theology
Martin Schreiner (1863–1926), a rabbi in Hungary and later a professor at the liberal rabbinical seminary in Berlin, was a disciple of David Kaufmann and Ignaz Goldziher, and a prominent scholar of Medieval Islamic and Jewish thought. The present article deals with his little-known contributions to religious thought in the late nineteenth century, utilizing also his unpublished work on Jewish religious philosophy and his correspondence with Goldz…
Modern Jewish Scholarship in Hungary
The Habsburg Empire was one of the first regions where the academic study of Judaism took institutional shape in the nineteenth century. In Hungary, scholars such as Leopold and Immanuel Löw, David Kaufmann, Ignaz Goldziher, Wilhelm Bacher, and Samuel Krauss had a lasting impact on the Wissenschaft des Judentums (“Science of Judaism”). Their contributions to Biblical, rabbinic and Semitic studies, Jewish history, ethnography and other fields were…
