Abstract

La quatrième de couverture indique : "L'Allemagne fut le haut lieu paradoxal du judaïsme moderne. De Mendelssohn à Rosenzweig et Buber, il n'est aucun autre espace culturel comparable où l'on puisse constater une pareille efflorescence de la culture juive. Certes, Scholem a eu raison de ne pas croire à une possible symbiose judéo-allemande, mais en dépit du statut particulier accordé aux Juifs, les grands boulversements modernes de l'histoire juive ont eu lieu dans l'espace germanophone. Hermann Cohen cherche, au début de la Première Guerre Mondiale, à montrer pourquoi c'est en Allemagne et nulle part ailleurs que le judaïsme est parvenu à un sommet. En exterminant les Juifs, le nazisme a précisément voulu anéantir cette culture allemande insupportable à leurs yeux, précisément parce qu'elle était pénétrée dans tous ses aspects fondamentaux par une renaissance juive. Cohen ne se contente pas d'observer sa propre époque, il déploie une longue histoire; il analyse toutes les affinités de structure qu'on peut relever entre le protestantisme, l'idéalisme, les Lumières, la "science" allemande et le judaïsme tel qu'il le reconstruit. Que ce texte ait également obéi à des péocuppations de l'heure ne retire rien à l'ampleur de ce qu'il embrasse ni à la sûreté de ses analyses, qu'elles soient philosophiques, historiques ou esthétiques."

Abstract

Since the Enlightenment period, German-Jewish intellectuals have been prominent voices in the multi-facetted discourse on the reinterpretation of Jewish tradition in light of modern thinking. Paul Mendes-Flohr, one of the towering figures of current scholarship on German-Jewish intellectual history, has made invaluable contributions to a better understanding of the religious, cultural and political dimensions of these thinkers' encounter with German and European culture, including the tension between their loyalty to Judaism and the often competing claims of non-Jewish society and culture. This volume assembles essays by internationally acknowledged scholars in the field who intend to honor Mendes-Flohr's work by portraying the abundance of religious, philosophical, aesthetical and political aspects dominating the thinking of those famous thinkers populating German Jewry's rich and complex intellectual world in the modern period. It also provides a fresh theoretical outlook on trends in Jewish intellectual history, raising new questions concerning the dialectics of assimilation. In addition to that, the volume sheds light on thinkers and debates that hitherto have not been accorded full scholarly attention.

Abstract

In medieval Ashkenaz piyyut commentary was a popular genre that consisted of 'open texts' that continued to be edited by almost each copyist. Although some early commentators can be identified, it is mainly compilers that are responsible for the transmitted form of text. Based on an ample corpus of Ashkenazic commentaries the study provides a taxonomy of commentary elements, including linguistic explanations, treatment of hypotexts, and medieval elements, and describes their use by different commentators and compilers. It also analyses the main techniques of compilation and the various ways they were employed by compilers. Different types of commentaries are described that target diverse audiences by using varied sets of commentary elements and compilatory techniques. Several commentaries are edited to illustrate the different commentary types.
