Jews and the Language of Eastern Slavs
No full textAbstract: The dating and localization of Jewish presence, origin and cultural characteristics of Jewish population in the Medieval Eastern Europe became a subject of tense discussion and extreme evaluations, often connected to extra-academic ideological agendas. The question of the spoken language of the Jews inhabiting Slavic lands during the Middle Ages is one of these unresolved questions. The most basic problem hindering the development of this field was a failure to differentiate among Slavic materials of different provenance, i.e., among pieces of linguistic evidence emerging from thoroughly different historical contexts. This involves, first of all, demarcating between West and East Slavic data. Scant as it may seem, the evidence on the knowledge of East Slavic among early East European Jews is incomparably richer than the data on any other language they may have spoken during this period. This evidence is also very diverse and representative. The emerging picture may impact different fields of knowledge and prompt a reevaluation of many historical and linguistic problems. The linguistic situation reflected in our early sources may indicate a peculiar type of coexistence between Jews and their Slavic neighbors, one that differs from later models of either extreme isolationism or no less extreme assimilation attested in this region. What we are suggesting is a model in which the boundaries between the two groups could take shape along confessional rather than ethno-cultural lines

Economic utopia of the Torah. Economic concepts of the Hebrew Bible interpreted according to the Rabbinical Literature
No full textHebrew Bible offers alternative Economic utopia for building Theocratic society. In this paper, various economic concepts and themes are presented, as found in the Hebrew Bible. These economic concepts include taxation, property rights, labor market, social policy, banking, years of Sabbath and Jubilee, and business cycles. Most economic issues of the Bible are found in the texts of Torah, also known as five Books of Moses. These texts are analyzed by using classical Rabbinical commentaries for better insight. Contrary to the modern Economic theory which is based on the assumptions of scarcity of resources and unlimited needs of consumers, Economics of the Torah is based on God’s resources which are enough for all true needs of His people.Hebrew Bible, History of Economics, History of Economic Thought, Ancient Israel, Judaism

The Cultural Legacy of the Pre-Ashkenazic Jews in Eastern Europe
No full textThis book uncovers cultural traces of the ancient Jewry of Eastern Europe from the 10th to 15th centuries. These traces take the form of translations from Hebrew into East Slavic, ranging from accounts of Old Testament prophets and other historical figures of interest to both Jews and Christians, such as Alexander the Great, to scientific and philosophical texts on everything from astronomy to physiognomy to metaphysics. Moshe Taube's fine-grained analysis teases out a robust picture of this massive cultural enterprise: the translators, their erudition, their biases, and their collaborative method of translation with neighboring Christians. Summarizing over thirty years of philological and linguistic research, this book offers a substantial original contribution to the cultural history of Jews in Eastern Europe and their interaction with, and influence on, Slavic culture in the Middle Ages and Early Modern period

"Sefer beer Moshe" by Moshe Sertels, son of Isachar, as an example of a bilingual text for the study of the Torah
No full textMoshe Sertels was a son of Issachar and Sarah. He was born circa mid-16th century in Prague. He was a teacher and worked as a translator and exegete. Sertels wrote several texts that attracted wide interest. One of them was a work titled Sefer Beer Moshe, a bilingual commentary on the Torah and five megillot. The construction of the text, its clarity and intelligibility, made it an excellent tool for teaching the Torah in cheders (e.g. such usage of this text was noted in the books of the Cracovian brotherhood Talmud Torah). The article presents the figure of the author and his literary oeuvre with particular focus on the Sefer Beer Moshe as a work that served generations of Ashkenazi Jews to enhance their knowledge of the Torah. The author discusses characteristics of the text and underlines several issues in regard to the Yiddish language in the form that was used in Prague at the turn of the 17th century
The Banica, Dobrejšo and Curzon Gospels in Light of the Greek Text
No full textThe Textual Tradition of the Church Slavonic Gospels is one of the more fascinating and controversial issues in Slavic Studies. More than 100 years after Voskresenskij’s edition of the Gospel of Mark, scholars largely continue to use the same categories. There are many reasons for this, first of all the extent of the corpus and the gradual formation of local redactions, which often hindered precise definition of the various textual types. Nevertheless, in many occasions the impasse seem to originate from the misunderstanding of the different nature of textual and lexical variants. It is clearly understandable that, from its very beginning, Slavic Philology has paid much more attention to the lexical level, in the attempt to define local redactions of Church Slavonic from a linguistic point of view. Such an approach, however, contributed to overshadow the actual text and its history: apart from general remarks about the presence of ‘Western’ variants in the oldest versions, and the convergence with the “Byzantine text” in the latest, ‘redactions’ of the Slavic Gospels continue to be defined on lexical grounds. Incidentally, this is the main reason for the marginal use of the Slavic version in New Testament Textual Criticism. Predominance of the lexical element clearly emerges in the identification of the so-called ‘Preslav Text’ (i.e. Voskresenskij’s ‘Second Redaction’). In this article, I try to define the Balkan-Bosnian tradition of the 13th-15th Centuries from a strictly textual point of view. For this purpose, the “Text und Textwert” Münster corpus of testual nodes is employed
