Descripción del proyecto
Desenterrar la antigua cultura judía
En el ámbito del judaísmo antiguo, existe un debate sobre el papel del movimiento rabínico en la sociedad judía de la Antigüedad tardía. Aunque la extensa literatura rabínica parece retratar a los rabinos como la fuerza social dominante de la época, existen pruebas arqueológicas que sugieren que su influencia era menor. El equipo del proyecto JLib, financiado por el Consejo Europeo de Investigación, pretende reconstruir textos no rabínicos de la «biblioteca judía» de la Antigüedad tardía. Descubiertos en excavaciones arqueológicas y colecciones de manuscritos judíos medievales, estos textos aportan una visión de la sociedad judía de la época y ofrecen nuevas perspectivas sobre el papel del judaísmo rabínico. El objetivo de JLib es presentar versiones editadas de estos textos olvidados, analizar sus conexiones con obras no judías y reevaluar el intrincado lugar del judaísmo rabínico en la sociedad judía de la Antigüedad tardía.
Objetivo
In the study of ancient Judaism, a debate has been raging over the place of the rabbinic movement in late antique Jewish society. On the one hand, there is the extensive body of rabbinic literature, which has much to say about the rabbis own world, and relatively little to say about non-rabbinic Jews, thus creating the impression that the rabbis were the only significant social factor in late antique Jewish society. On the other hand, there is an impressive, and constantly growing, body of archaeological evidence and especially the synagogues of late antique Palestine and their elaborate mosaics which seems to imply that the rabbis had relatively little impact on the religious and artistic sensitivities of many Jewish communities. This apparent gap between the literary and the archaeological evidence generated an enormous body of scholarly literature, with some scholars arguing that rabbinic Judaism was normative in late antique Jewish society and other scholars claiming that the rabbis were just a small minority, and that most Jews did not pay much attention to what the rabbis thought or said.
Rather than joining this debate, JLib will offer a different perspective from which to examine ancient Jewish culture, by reconstructing many non-rabbinic texts from the Jewish library of late antiquity. Some of these texts were found in archaeological excavations, but most are found in the Cairo Genizah and in other collections of medieval Hebrew manuscripts. Their late antique origins are demonstrated by their use of Aramaic mostly Jewish Palestinian Aramaic by their contents, and by external evidence of their use in late antique Jewish society. JLib will offer an edition of these hitherto neglected texts, an analysis of their relations with similar non-Jewish texts and with rabbinic literature, and a re-evaluation of the complex question of the place of rabbinic Judaism in late antique Jewish society.
