Abstract

Das Phänomen der ‚Textrevisionen‘ ist bislang speziell in Hinblick auf seine editorische Berücksichtigung nicht ausreichend gewürdigt worden: Dem versucht der vorliegende Sammelband der gleichnamigen Grazer Internationalen Fachtagung (2016) für die Fachbereiche der Alt- und Neugermanistik, Musikwissenschaft und Philosophie abzuhelfen. Textrevisionen – im breiten Verständnis von der Änderung einer einzelnen Textstelle bis hin zur Neugestaltung eines gesamten Textes – fordern die Editorik insofern auf ganz besondere Weise heraus, als sie zum einen die heikle Verortung des sog. Autorwillens berühren, wie er sich im Verbund mit verschiedenen ‚autorisierenden‘ Instanzen mehr oder minder offen zu erkennen gibt, vielleicht aber auch selbst in Frage stellt. Zum andern betrifft dieses tendenziell fluide Autorkonzept im Begriff der Textrevision jene expliziten Änderungen am Primärtext, welche als Spuren der Textgenese, ja sogar als Lebensspuren dokumentierbar sind und zugleich Einblicke in metatextuell selbstreflexive Vorgänge oder gar autorspezifische Verschriftungsprozesse gewähren. Dies bestätigen die Beiträge mit spannenden Befunden zu Werkgenesen sowie zum Zusammenwirken von Überlieferungsinstanzen und eröffnen damit neue interpretative Horizonte.      Featuring essays by scholars of ancient and modern German studies, musicology, and philosophy, the common focus of this volume is on the description and critical examination of recorded traces that reveal the process by which works are revised. The findings evoke exciting insights into the genesis of works and the interplay of different transmitted versions, while opening up new pathways for interpretation.

Abstract

The Primeval History (Genesis 1-11) is one of the most complex theological compositions of the Old Testament/the Hebrew Bible. Woven into its multi-layered text one finds reflections on an array of fundamental questions: How did the world come into being? Who is its creator? What role does humankind play in the larger scheme of creation? Why is the world that God made not a perfect one? And finally, is it possible to lead a meaningful and even happy life despite the unpredictabilities of existence? The essays by Andreas Schule assembled in this volume address these and related questions through close readings of Genesis 1-11 and by relating them to kindred textual traditions throughout the Old Testament/the Hebrew Bible.

Abstract

Du rêve de Jacob aux rêves de Pharaon en passant par le cauchemar d'Abimélek, le livre de la Genèse est tout entier traversé par ce que Freud appelait l'"autre scène" de l'onirique. Le rêve y est même si prégnant que certaines narrations prennent l'allure de rêves diurnes qui en prolongent le sens. Comment interpréter la profondeur symbolique de ce constat ? L'essai présenté ici admet les résultats de l'exégèse moderne qui reconnaît aux traditions du cycle de Jacob une antériorité par rapport à celles de la geste d'Abram et Saraï et au roman de Joseph. Ce bouleversement de la chronologie narrative canonique n'est pas un jeu gratuit. Il permet de mettre en évidence le fil jusque alors inaperçu d'une cohérence symbolique qu'à chaque fois le rêve vient éclairer. Car en son ombilic, chaque rêve biblique contient un point d'énigme où se croisent ce que nous ne pouvons élucider de notre inconscient et l'imperceptible retrait du Transcendant. Découvrir et interpréter ce point nodal en s'aidant du midrash et des avancées de la psychanalyse, ouvre l'ensemble des narrations de la Genèse à leur "autre scène". Freud hésitait à interpréter psychanalytiquement des récits de rêve littéraires en l'absence du rêveur seul capable d'associer sur son rêve. Avec La Gradiva, il a franchi le pas, interprétant des récits de rêve littéraires en s'appuyant sur la narration qui les entoure. Les narrations du Livre de la Genèse permettent la même audace.

Abstract

Bolder, even, than the ambitious books for which Stephen Greenblatt is already renowned, The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve explores the enduring story of humanity's first parents, and through them, of Western civilization. Tracking the tale into the deep past, to the Hebrews' exile in Babylon, Greenblatt explores the tremendous theological, artistic, and cultural creativity over the centuries that made Adam and Eve so profoundly resonant, and continues to make them, finally, so very "real" to millions of people even in the present. Both a hymn to human responsibility and a dark fable about human wretchedness, their story--told in only a few verses in an ancient book--has served as a mirror in which we seem to glimpse the whole, long history of human fears and desires. With the uncanny brilliance he previously brought to his depictions of William Shakespeare and Poggio Bracciolini (the humanist monk who is the protagonist of The Swerve), Greenblatt explores the intensely personal engagement of Augustine, Dürer, and Milton in this mammoth project of collective creation, While he also limns the diversity of the story's offspring: rich allegory, vicious misogyny, deep moral insight, and some of the greatest triumphs of art and literature. The biblical origin story, Greenblatt argues, is a model for what the humanities still have to offer: not the scientific nature of things, but rather a deep encounter with problems that have gripped our species for as long as we can recall and that continue to fascinate and trouble us today.

Abstract

In The Church as Paradise and the Way Therein: Early Christian Appropriation of Genesis 3:22–24 , Christopher A. Graham demonstrates that early Christian authors employed the words “paradise” and “way” as allusions to the expulsion narrative (Genesis 3:22–24) to signify that the benefits available in protological Paradise were once again accessible in and through Jesus and the Church. The centrality of the expulsion narrative in their literary milieus gave these authors confidence that readers would discern these allusions. After considering the reception of the expulsion in texts circulating within the early Christian milieu, Graham turns to the texts of Luke and Irenaeus of Lyons. Both authors drew from an interpretive tradition in which a return to Paradise was desirable. Both celebrated Jesus's reversal of Adam's expulsion and the constitution of Jesus's followers as the location and means by which humanity could continue to access divine truth and life. For both authors, the Church is Paradise and the way therein.

Abstract

This book describes how medieval Jewish Bible scholars sought to answer the question of what is meant by the Angel’s message from God to Abraham: ‘Now I Know’, as written in Genesis 22 verse 12. It examines these scholars’ comments on the nineteen verses in Genesis that tell the story of Abraham’s readiness to sacrifice his own son Isaac, the Aqedat Yiṣḥaq. It explores the answers they found to the question of what, indeed, this story is trying to tell us. Is it a drastic way to condemn the practice of child sacrifice? Does it call for replacing human sacrifices with animal sacrifices? Is it a trial by which the Almighty tests the fidelity of one of His followers? Or is it His way to show the world the nature of true belief? The book starts with an introduction to familiarize readers with the many and varied manifestations of the Aqedah theme in Jewish culture and with the developments of medieval Jewish Bible exegesis in general. Next, it offers translations and analyses of the classical medieval Jewish Bible commentaries that deal with the exegesis of Genesis 22, exploring the many angles from which the Aqedah story has been understood. No less than five centuries of medieval Aqedah exegesis are reviewed, from Saadya (882-942) to Isaac Abrabanel (1437-1508). These texts from the commentaries are combined with hermeneutical key passages by Moses Maimonides, Joseph Ibn Kaspi, Ḥasdai Crescas, and others, which were familiar to the minds of the exegetes, or which, conversely, reflect the impact of biblical Aqedah exegesis on religious thought. Together, the passages discussed illustrate the growth and development of Jewish Bible exegesis in dialogue with the rabbinic sources and with the various trends of thought and theology of their times. The consistent focus on the Aqedah constitutes a unifying theme, while the insights presented here greatly advance our understanding of the various developments in medieval Jewish Bible exegesis.
