  • TALMUDIC STUDIES Ephraim Kanarfogel
    chapter 22 TALMUDIC STUDIES ephraim kanarfogel TRANSITIONS FROM THE EAST, AND THE NASCENT CENTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, SPAIN, AND ITALY The history and development of the study of the Oral Law following the completion of the Babylonian Talmud remain shrouded in mystery. Although significant Geonim from Babylonia and Palestine during the eighth and ninth centuries have been identified, the extent to which their writings reached Europe, and the channels through which they passed, remain somewhat unclear. A fragile consensus suggests that, at least initi- ally, rabbinic teachings and rulings from Eretz Israel traveled most directly to centers in Italy and later to Germany (Ashkenaz), while those of Babylonia emerged predominantly in the western Sephardic milieu of Spain and North Africa.1 To be sure, leading Sephardic talmudists prior to, and even during, the eleventh century were not yet to be found primarily within Europe. Hai ben Sherira Gaon (d. 1038), who penned an array of talmudic commen- taries in addition to his protean output of responsa and halakhic mono- graphs, was the last of the Geonim who flourished in Baghdad.2 The family 1 See Avraham Grossman, “Zik˙atah shel Yahadut Ashkenaz ‘el Erets Yisra’el,” Shalem 3 (1981), 57–92; Grossman, “When Did the Hegemony of Eretz Yisra’el Cease in Italy?” in E.

  • A Hebrew Elegy on the York Martyrs of 1190
    A Hebrew Elegy on the York Martyrs of 1190 By Cecil Roth, M.A., D.Phil., F.R.Hist.S. It is generally known that the Hebrew sources for the history of the Jews in medieval England are extremely sparse. The chronicler Ephraim of Bonn gives 1 a poignant, but not in every respect accurate, account of themassacres of 1189-90 : and historians of a later generation reproduce a legendary story of the Expulsion of theJews by Edward I, partly deriving as it seems from a lostwork of the polemist and grammarian Profiat Duran and partly from the Fortalitium Fidei of the Franciscan Alfonso de Espana.2 Except for one or two oblique allusions, this is almost all. Any new material that comes to light is therefore all the more valuable. A century ago, Zunz called attention to two Hebrew elegies on the English massacres at the beginning of the reign ofRichard I. One of them, by R. Menachem ben Jacob, was presented (as far as the portion relating to England was concerned) by Solomon Schechter at the very first ordinary meeting of the Jewish Historical Society of England, and occupies pride of place after the Presidential Address in the earliest volume of its Transactions.* It is heartrending, turgid, and not particularly informative, being conceived in general terms which might apply to any other 4 medieval massacre. It is all themore surprising that Zunz's further indication has not hitherto been followed up, as I discovered not long since tomy great astonishment. It is true that he no exact information as to the source, which he indicates " gives " vaguely as a French Manuscript ; but at the time when Schechter wrote, so soon after theMaster's death, and while Joseph Jacobs was still engaged in collecting every scrap of evidence relating to the Jews of Angevin England, itwould not have been difficult to trace the requisite information.

  • Maharam of Padua V. Giustiniani; the Sixteenth-Century Origins of the Jewish Law of Copyright
    Draft: July 2007 44 Houston Law Review (forthcoming 2007) Maharam of Padua v. Giustiniani; the Sixteenth-Century Origins of the Jewish Law of Copyright Neil Weinstock Netanel* Copyright scholars are almost universally unaware of Jewish copyright law, a rich body of copyright doctrine and jurisprudence that developed in parallel with Anglo- American and Continental European copyright laws and the printers’ privileges that preceded them. Jewish copyright law traces its origins to a dispute adjudicated some 150 years before modern copyright law is typically said to have emerged with the Statute of Anne of 1709. This essay, the beginning of a book project about Jewish copyright law, examines that dispute, the case of the Maharam of Padua v. Giustiniani. In 1550, Rabbi Meir ben Isaac Katzenellenbogen of Padua (known by the Hebrew acronym, the “Maharam” of Padua) published a new edition of Moses Maimonides’ seminal code of Jewish law, the Mishneh Torah. Katzenellenbogen invested significant time, effort, and money in producing the edition. He and his son also added their own commentary on Maimonides’ text. Since Jews were forbidden to print books in sixteenth- century Italy, Katzenellenbogen arranged to have his edition printed by a Christian printer, Alvise Bragadini. Bragadini’s chief rival, Marc Antonio Giustiniani, responded by issuing a cheaper edition that both copied the Maharam’s annotations and included an introduction criticizing them. Katzenellenbogen then asked Rabbi Moses Isserles, European Jewry’s leading juridical authority of the day, to forbid distribution of the Giustiniani edition. Isserles had to grapple with first principles. At this early stage of print, an author- editor’s claim to have an exclusive right to publish a given book was a case of first impression.

  • Jews, Christians, and Art in the Medieval Marketplace
    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations REVIEW Josef Shatzmiller Cultural Exchange: Jews, Christians, and Art in the Medieval Marketplace (Princeton and Oxford: Princeton University Press, 2013) Merav Schnitzer, Tel Aviv University “Moments of Grace” and “exciting results” were the words rightly chosen by Josef Shatzmiller to describe the main find- ings of his fascinating book, Cultural Exchange: Jews, Christians, and Art in the Medieval Marketplace (p. 160). Shatzmiller sought to uncover new avenues of cultural ex- change between Jews and Christian in the high and late Middle Ages (ca. 1230 – 1450) in Germany, France, England, northern Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, and Sicily. By studying the market of pawnbrokers, Shatzmiller discov- ered a deep encounter between Jews and Christians. It was a sphere in which Jews were willing to adopt the aesthetic values of Christian society, even when those were in contrast with ha- lakha (Jewish law). Shatzmiller chose to rely in his study mainly on non-Jewish sources, rather than Jewish (halakhic) sources, as most of his predecessors did. Shatzmiller argues that for a deeper understanding of Jewish everyday life schol- ars must expand the scope of sources they use. In his study he uses a variety of sources, including archival texts (such as legal and administrative writings in Latin and vernacular languages) and material and artistic sources (such as illuminated manu- scripts and ritual objects, both Jewish and Christian). Shatzmiller describes a process of cultural assimilation in three main stages, with the market place as its first stage. The pos- session of Christian artifacts as pawns led Jews, as noted, to adopt the aesthetic values common in Christian society.

    NEIGHBORS, PARTNERS, ENEMIES: JEWS AND THE MONASTERIES OF GERMANY IN THE HIGH MIDDLE AGES A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by John D. Young __________________________________ John Van Engen, Director Graduate Program in Medieval Studies Notre Dame, Indiana September 2011 © Copyright by John D. Young 2011 All rights reserved NEIGHBORS, PARTNERS, ENEMIES: JEWS AND THE MONASTERIES OF GERMANY IN THE HIGH MIDDLE AGES Abstract by John D. Young German-speaking lands in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries were home to the largest Jewish communities north of the Alps and Pyrenees and thus constituted key locations for Christian-Jewish interaction. This dissertation examines the monasteries of Germany—the primary centers of intellectual and cultural production in the high medieval Empire—as loci for that interaction. It explores both the social/economic and the cultural aspect of contact between monks and Jews. In the process, it challenges traditional interpretations of Christian-Jewish relations and helps to fill in the picture of the lives and activities of monks in this period. The study proceeds in three parts. Part one, comprising the first three chapters, examines the political context wherein Jews and monks interacted before investigating evidence of contact between Jews and monks in the social and economic spheres. This evidence demonstrates that Jewish communities and monasteries occupied similar John D. Young political positions in this society—due to their mutual reliance on the institution of privilege—and that they engaged frequently in business dealings with each other.

  • THE BA'alei TOSAFOS of GERMANY 12Th
    THE BA’ALEI TOSAFOS OF GERMANY 12th - 13th CENTURIES The history of Jewry in Germany is closely bound with that of France. The cultural ties between the French and German Jewish communities existed for centuries. Travel seems not to have been hampered between the academies of the two countries, even during the Crusades. The development of the French Tosafists academies, with their unique approach to Talmudic studies, was paralleled in Germany, although the work of the German scholars has come down to us in a different form from that of the French school. Where the thoughts of the French scholars exist for us largely in the collection of Tosafos, the German scholars’ words have come down to us in a more individualized form - in halachic works of individual authors. These works differ from the French Tosafists not only in individualization, but in content and purpose as well. The goal of Tosafos is the elucidation of the Talmudic texts per se, without attempting to apply the implications of their studies to practical halacha. However, the main thrust of the works of the German school is halachic application. To the German scholars, the Tosafist method was a vehicle to arrive at halachic conclusions relating to practical questions of law. The father of the German Tosafists was R. Yitzchak ben Asher I (d.1133), known as the Riva. The Riva studied in Mainz, and later became a pupil of Rashi. After ​ spending a few years as a merchant, which sometimes involved business trips that took him as far as Russia, he repaired to Speyer where he gathered many disciples who later became the leaders of German Jewry.
