  • Ideal" and "Real" in Classical Jewish Political Theory
    IDEAL" AND "REAL" IN CLASSICAL JEWISH POLITICAL THEORY Gerald J.Blidstein This essay considers the degree to which Jewish political and legal ? ? theory allows and, indeed, mandates the recognition that the Torah legislates an ideal law which is not appropriate for situations of social and political stress, and the degree to which such situations are really the historical norm rather than the exception. The Talmud, it is shown, adum brates this concept, but in a fairly marginal form.Maimonides places it at center stage of societal governance, apparently expecting that a Jewish so ciety will of necessity be thrown back upon this option; but he also sug gests guidelines for its regulation. R. Nissim of Barcelona (fourteenth century) both expands the concept and also relaxes the Maimonidean re strictions on its use. This final form of the doctrine receives a thorough critique at the hands of Isaac Abrabanel; but it also serves as the linchpin for much contemporary argument for the legitimacy of Israeli legislation from a classical Jewish perspective. The relationship of law and political theory to reality, that is, to the actual doings of people in society and to the concrete problems faced by societies, is undoubtedly complex. Are law and political theory to are shape reality? Or is the reverse true, and both law and theory to take their cue from society? This, of course, is a very abstract formula tion of the issue. It is also an overly extreme and polarized formulation, for it is likely that the relationship of law and political theory to re ality is dynamic and indeed dialectical.

In i8i6 the historian Barthold Georg Niebuhr came across a manuscript in Verona, a text from Saint Jerome writtenover a much earlier work. He reported this palimpsest (at some points ter scriptus,a double palimpsest) to his friend Friedrich Karl von Savigny, the greatest legal scholar of the age and the emerging leader of the so-called Historical School of Law. Savigny immedi- ately recognized it as the work of the second-centuryjurist Gaius, otherwise preserved only in fragmentaryform in that great sixth-centuryanthology, the Digestof Justinian.

  • Ancient Economic Thought, Volume 1
    ANCIENT ECONOMIC THOUGHT This collection explores the interrelationship between economic practice and intellectual constructs in a number of ancient cultures. Each chapter presents a new, richer understanding of the preoccupation of the ancients with specific economic problems including distribution, civic pride, management and uncertainty and how they were trying to resolve them. The research is based around the different artifacts and texts of the ancient East Indian, Hebraic, Greek, Hellenistic, Roman and emerging European cultures which remain for our consideration today: religious works, instruction manuals, literary and historical writings, epigrapha and legal documents. In looking at such items it becomes clear what a different exercise it is to look forward, from the earliest texts and artifacts of any culture, to measure the achievements of thinking in the areas of economics, than it is to take the more frequent route and look backward, beginning with the modern conception of economic systems and theory creation. Presenting fascinating insights into the economic thinking of ancient cultures, this volume will enhance the reawakening of interest in ancient economic history and thought. It will be of great interest to scholars of economic thought and the history of ideas. B.B.Price is Professor of Ancient and Medieval History at York University, Toronto, and is currently doing research and teaching as visiting professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

  • Avignon Vs. Rome: Dante, Petrarch, Catherine of Siena
    [Expositions 4.1&2 (2010) 47-62] Expositions (online) ISSN: 1747-5376 Avignon vs. Rome: Dante, Petrarch, Catherine of Siena THOMAS RENNA Saginaw Valley State University ABSTRACT In the fourteenth century the image of ancient Rome as Babylon was transformed into the positive idea of Rome as both a Christian and a classical ideal. Whereas Dante disassociated Augustine‟s Babylon from imperial Rome, Petrarch turned Avignon into Babylon, a symbol of an avaricious papacy. For Catherine of Siena Avignon was not evil, but a distraction which prevented the pope from reforming the Italian clergy, bringing peace to Italy, and launching the crusade. “There is only one hope of salvation in this place! Here, Christ is sold for gold!”1 And so Francesco Petrarch denounced the Avignon of the popes as the most evil place on earth since the days of ancient Babylon. This view of the Holy See should have disappeared when the papacy returned to Rome in 1377, but it did not. On the contrary, the castigation of the sins of pontiffs intensified, as subsequent ages used this profile to vilify the papacy, the clergy, the French monarchy, and the French nation.2 Not to be outdone, some French historians in the twentieth century sought to correct this received tradition by examining the popes‟ worthy qualities.3 It is curious that this depiction of Avignon as the Babylon Captivity has enjoyed such longevity, even in college textbooks.4 “Corruption” is of course a value judgment as much as a description of actual behavior. Doubtless Pope Clement VI did not think of his curia as “corrupt.” Contemporary citizens of Mongolia do not see Genghis Khan as the monster of the medieval Christian chronicles.

  • THE LAW" and the LAW of CHANGE* (Concluded.)
    "THE LAW" AND THE LAW OF CHANGE* (Concluded.) B. The Mishnah Cycle. The next cycle, that between the Old Testament canon and the Mishnah, is better known to us for its political and religious history than for its legal development. It is the period of the Second Temple, of the Maccabees, of the birth of Christianity, of the Wars of the Jews, of the destruction of the Temple and of the dispersion of the Jewish people. These great events did not pass without influencing the development of Jewish law, but the period furnishes a remarkable instance of how the common people's law takes its natural course in spite of catastrophes. We are told that Simeon the Righteous, the last of the Men of the Great Assembly, was followed by Antigonus of Soko and he by ZiIghth, "pairs," who through four generations conserved the traditions to the days of Hillel and Shammai. Four generations of Tanna'im (tanra'dm, "teachers," a title in this period), the schools of Hillel and Shanmai, carry on the tradition until the next codification, the Mishnah. Though very little has been written of the steps by which this law grew-and for this reason I shall study the period more fully than the others-we have suffi- cient evidence to support the view that glossation (including fictions), commentation (including equity) and legislation, so far as it appeared, followed each other in the usual order. Of the first step, the verbal expounding of the Bible, we havo several kinds of evidence. The reading of the Torah and the explaining of passage by passage in the synagogfie is supposed to go back to Ezra.3 5 This method of the study and application of the law to which the name of Midrash (midhrash,from ddrash, "to expound") has been given is, according to a very old reliable tradition, to be ascribed to the pre-tannaitic period.
