Çalışmamızda bilinenden bilinmeyene metoduyla hareket ede- rek ilk önce mevcut Hazar Türkçesine ait kelimeleri derleyip, ortak özelliklerini tespit edip, mihenk taşlarımızı oluşturduk. Daha sonra Hazar Devleti’nin yaşadığı coğrafyada bu gün yaşayan Türk hak- larının dillerinden Karaçay-Malkar, Karaim, Kırımçak ve Kumuk Türkçelerinin ortak kelimelerini tespit ettik. Bu ortak kelimelerin de leksik ve morfolojik özelliklerini belirledikten sonra birbirleriyle karşılaştırıp aralarındaki uyumu göz önüne sererek Hazar Türkçesi Leksikoloji Tespitini denedik.

Apart from these determined key features it have been determined the mu- tual aspects of Karachay-Malkar, Karaim, Krymchak and Kumuk Turkish which are known as the remnants of Khazar and it has been intended to reveal the vocabulary of Khazar Turkish.

  • Medieval Hebrew Texts and European River Names Ephraim Nissan London [email protected]
    ONOMÀSTICA 5 (2019): 187–203 | RECEPCIÓ 8.3.2019 | ACCEPTACIÓ 18.9.2019 Medieval Hebrew texts and European river names Ephraim Nissan London [email protected] Abstract: The first section of theBook of Yosippon (tenth-century Italy) maps the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) onto contemporary peoples and places and this text, replete with tantalizing onomastics, also includes many European river names. An extract can be found in Elijah Capsali’s chronicle of the Ottomans 1517. The Yosippon also includes a myth of Italic antiquities and mentions a mysterious Foce Magna, apparently an estuarine city located in the region of Ostia. The article also examines an onomastically rich passage from the medieval travelogue of Benjamin of Tudela, and the association he makes between the river Gihon (a name otherwise known in relation to the Earthly Paradise or Jerusalem) and the Gurganin or the Georgians, a people from the Caspian Sea. The river Gihon is apparently what Edmund Spenser intended by Guyon in his Faerie Queene. The problems of relating the Hebrew spellings of European river names to their pronunciation are illustrated in the case of the river Rhine. Key words: river names (of the Seine, Loire, Rhine, Danube, Volga, Dnieper, Po, Ticino, Tiber, Arno, Era, Gihon, Guyon), Kiev, medieval Hebrew texts, Book of Yosippon, Table of Nations (Genesis 10), historia gentium, mythical Foce Magna city, Benjamin of Tudela, Elijah Capsali, Edmund Spenser Textos hebreus medievals i noms de rius europeus Resum: L’inici del Llibre de Yossippon (Itàlia, segle X) relaciona la «taula de les nacions» de Gènesi 10 amb pobles i llocs contemporanis, i aquest text, ple de propostes onomàstiques temptadores, també inclou noms fluvials europeus.

  • Manuscript Number 193 Christ Church Cathedral Library
    Christ Church Library MS 193 Brian Deutsch * Some months ago I had a chance to examine the collection of Hebrew manuscripts at the Christ Church Library. They include several cabalistic works including a large work on the Book Of Creation by a known 16th century cabalist,1 a transcript of Nachmanides’ treatises on Cabala,2 a book on mathematics being a translation of a famous Arabic scholar into Hebrew,3 a book on medicine,4 a treatise on the laws of the Talmud by Mordecai in abridged form,5 a copy of Gersonides’ translation of Averroes, Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle into Hebrew with his commentary.6 There is a further large manuscript on philosophy from an as yet unidentified source,7 and an unpublished commentary on the Bible.8 Several of the manuscripts are signed by the scribes and dated, the earliest of these is from 1410. Little is known as to how these volumes came to the Library, although the recent discovery by Dr David Rundle of an entry in the Donors Book 9 records the gift of thirteen Hebrew manuscripts in 1683 by John Fell, Dean of Christ Church and Bishop of Oxford. The first part of MS 193 is not dated but has the name of the scribe10 at the end and is only a fragment. Bound together in the same volume and is also a most interesting copy of a famous correspondence between the head of the Jewish community in Cordova, Spain, and the king of the Khazars. It was originally written around the year 960, as by the end of that decade the great fear of King Joseph in his letter had indeed happened and the Russians had overrun his land (which is the present day Ukraine, a prequel to todays events maybe?)..

  • Chapter Twenty-Four Judaism from the Arabian Conquests to the Crusades
    Chapter Twenty-Four Judaism from the Arabian Conquests to the Crusades From the Arabian conquests in the seventh century to the crusades, the circumstances of Judaeans differed greatly, depending on time and place. To summarize these circumstances crudely, we may say that Judaeans in the Dar al-Islam were much more secure than they were anywhere in Christendom. Within Christendom, the Byzantine empire and its Orthodox church were somewhat more hospitable to the Jewish minority than were western Europe and the Catholic church. In diachronic terms, for Judaeans everywhere the period before the crusades was far better than the period that followed. By the early eighth century the worship of God was widespread. Two other religions devoted to the worship of God - Christianity and Islam - were each in its own way doing very well. The Muslims had created an empire stretching from India to Spain, and the calif was the recipient of an enormous annual tribute paid by Judaeans and Christians. Politically and militarily the Christians were not so fortunate as the Muslims, and they were divided among several communions, but they far outnumbered the other two religions: the gospel was being preached to all nations, and tens of millions of people had become Christians. Judaeans had no empire nor, in the seventh century, even a kingdom, and they were a minority dependent upon the goodwill of the Muslims and upon the mercies of a variety of Christian rulers. Nevertheless, Judaeans in the seventh century were more certain than ever about their place in the world. Yahweh, who had begun as the god of Israel, had over the preceding twelve hundred years evolved into God.

Jewish Folk Literature Abstract Four interrelated qualities distinguish Jewish folk literature: (a) historical depth, (b) continuous interdependence between orality and literacy, (c) national dispersion, and (d) linguistic diversity. In spite of these diverging factors, the folklore of most Jewish communities clearly shares a number of features. The Jews, as a people, maintain a collective memory that extends well into the second millennium BCE. Although literacy undoubtedly figured in the preservation of the Jewish cultural heritage to a great extent, at each period it was complemented by orality. The reciprocal relations between the two thus enlarged the thematic, formal, and social bases of Jewish folklore. The dispersion of the Jews among the nations through forced exiles and natural migrations further expanded
