This book was released on 1992 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Band zeigt das Verhältnis von Juden- und Christentum von der Spätantike bis zum Ende des Mittelalters in ausschnitthafter Beleuchtung. Besonders wichtig ist die zwiespältige Stellung der Juden als auserwähltes Gottesvolk des Alten Testaments nach eigener und christlicher Einschätzung und als Volk der Gottesmörder, Wucherer, Hostienschänder, Brunnenvergifter und Ritualmörder in christlicher hoch- und spätmittelalterlicher Einschätzung. Wichtige Wurzeln des Antisemitismus finden sich bereits im Antijudaismus des Mittelalters, der bekanntlich zu schrecklichen Pogromen fbekanntlich zu schrecklichen Pogromen führte. Dem steht die auch von Christen anerkannte Leistung der Juden als Kulturvermittler und -schaffende (Ärzte, Philosophen, Naturwissenschaftler) gegenüber.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 1999 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. L nder - Mittelalter, Fr he Neuzeit, Note: 1, Humboldt-Universit t zu Berlin, Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar, 19 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Untersuchung der mittelalterlichen Stadt in ihren konomischen Spezifiken ist eine der zentralen Fragestellungen, um die im Hochmittelalter einsetzenden gesellschaftlichen Modernisierungstendenzen beschreiben zu k nnen. Auf vielf ltige Weise kann sich diesem Forschungsfeld angen hert werden, die Perspektive kann sowohl wirtschafts- als auch sozialgeschichtlich motiviert sein, ebenso vorrangig die Kirchengeschichte, die Rechtsgeschichte, oder beispielsweise die Verfassungsgeschichte als Ausgangspunkt der historischen Untersuchung w hlen. Eine Gruppe, die sich im Mittelalter stark konturiert von ihrer Umwelt abzeichnete, die aber trotzdem in vielerlei Hinsicht auf die christliche Gesellschaft wirkte, war das Judentum. Die vorliegende Hausarbeit wird sich der Fragestellung widmen, in welchem Ma e die Juden einen Beitrag zum Haushalt der mittelalterlichen St dte leisteten. Der Einfluss j discher Stadtbewohner auf die st dtische konomie ist allerdings ohne die Beachtung des Antijudaismus im Mittelalter kaum zu untersuchen. Es waren prim r die immer wiederkehrenden antij dischen Ma nahmen und Exzesse, die das Leben der Juden bestimmten und durch Vertreibung oder Mord immer wieder f r deren Verschwinden aus dem st dtischen Alltag sorgten.

Download or read book Representations of Jews in Late Medieval and Early Modern German Literature written by John D. Martin and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is commonly held that medieval Christians viewed medieval Jews in exclusively negative terms. This is certainly the dominant opinion in much twentieth-century scholarship, and it is not wholly without justification. It is, however, an opinion that does not accurately reflect the breadth of medieval German Christian thinking about medieval German Jews. Drawing on Passion plays, hagiographical narratives and didactic literature, this monograph reveals a hitherto largely unacknowledged diversity in medieval German representations of Jews. In many of the best-attested texts from the late medieval and early modern periods, Jews appear in German literature as sympathetic, even morally exemplary figures.

Download or read book Juden in der christlichen Umwelt w hrend des sp ten Mittelalters written by Alfred Haverkamp and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Forschungen zur spätmittelalterlichen Geschichte der Juden sind im deutschsprachigen Raum seit etwa zwei Jahrzehnten in eine quantitativ und vor allem qualitativ neue Phase getreten. Bis zum Nationalsozialismus, und noch längere Zeit danach, wurde die Geschichte der Juden - abgesehen von wenigen Ausnahmen - von jüdischen Gelehrten erforscht und oftmals isoliert von der allgemeinen Geschichte betrachtet. Erst in jüngerer Zeit konnte sich die Einsicht verfestigen, daß die Geschichte der Juden im mittelalterlichen Deutschland auch ein Teil der deutschen Geschichte ist.Die Fülle der Einstellungen von Christen gegenüber den Juden und der von Christen gesetzten Bedingungsfaktoren einerseits und das Spektrum der Einschätzungen von Juden über die Christen wie auch ihrer Reaktionen und Handlungsweisen anderseits tritt im vorliegenden Band aus unterschiedlichen Blickrichtungen immer wieder hervor.Der Beitrag von Alexander Patschovsky befaßt sich mit einer vom 13. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart wirkenden negativen Einschätzung der jüdischen Tradition durch christliche Geistliche, die mit der Verdammung des Talmud die eigenwertige religiöse Grundlage der Juden aufzuheben suchten. Der Aufhellung dieser Lebensumstände dient die siedlungsgeschichtliche Studie von Michael Toch. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Frage, wieweit die Pogrome und andere judenfeindliche Maßnahmen um die Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts eine Veränderung der jüdischen Siedlungen und Niederlassungen innerhalb der (im wesentlichen) deutschsprachigen Gebiete des »Regnum Teutonicum« herbeigeführt haben. Vor diesem mitteleuropäischen, ansatzweise regional differenzierten Hintergrund beschreibt Friedhelm Burgard in landesgeschichtlicher Vertiefung die im Vergleich mit den Christen spezifischen Formen der auch begrifflich näher fixierten »Migration« von Juden und untersucht die diese Vorgänge bestimmenden Faktoren. Der Beitrag von Israel Yuval rundet die Konzeption des Bandes in der Weise ab, daß von den jüdischen Sichtweisen und Einstellungen ausgegangen und damit gewissermaßen ein Gegenpol zu der Studie von Alexander Patschovsky gebildet wird. Einen Leitfaden stellt die hier erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung gebotene Chronik des Salman von St. Goar, deren neu erarbeitete Überlieferungs- und Wirkungsgeschichte zugleich den Umgang der Juden mit ihrer eigenen historischen Tradition veranschaulicht, dar.

Download or read book Jews in Medieval Christendom written by Kristine T. Utterback and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jews in Medieval Christendom: Slay Them Not, an international group of scholars from numerous disciplines examines the manifold ways that medieval Christians coped with the presence of Jews in their midst. The collection’s touchstone comes from St. Augustine’s interpretation of Psalm 59:11: “Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down,” as it applied to Jews in Christendom, an interpretation that deeply affected medieval Christian strategies for dealing with Jews in Europe. This collection analyzes how medieval writers and artists, often explicitly invoking Augustine, employed his teachings on these strangers within Christian Europe. Contributors include: Nancy Bishop, Kate McGrath, Irven Resnick, Ephraim Shoham-Steiner, K.M. Kletter, Robert Stacey, Jennifer Hart Weed, Jay Ruud, Kristine T. Utterback, Merrall LLewelyn Price, Eveline Brugger, Birgit Wiedl, Carlee A. Bradbury, Judy Schaaf, Barbara Stevenson, Miriamne Ara Krummel, Albrecht Classen.

Download or read book The Apocalypse in Reformation Nuremberg written by Andrew L. Thomas and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lutheran preacher and theologian Andreas Osiander (1498–1552) played a critical role in spreading the Lutheran Reformation in sixteenth-century Nuremberg. Besides being the most influential ecclesiastical leader in a prominent German city, Osiander was also a well-known scholar of Hebrew. He composed what is considered to be the first printed treatise by a Christian defending Jews against blood libel. Despite Osiander’s importance, however, he remains surprisingly understudied. The Apocalypse in Reformation Nuremberg: Jews and Turks in Andreas Osiander’s World is the first book in any language to concentrate on his attitudes toward both Jews and Turks, and it does so within the dynamic interplay between his apocalyptic thought and lived reality in shaping Lutheran identity. Likewise, it presents the first published English translation of Osiander’s famous treatise on blood libel. Osiander’s writings on Jews and Turks that shaped Lutherans’ identity from cradle to grave in Nuremberg also provide a valuable mirror to reflect on the historical antecedents to modern antisemitism and Islamophobia and thus elucidate how the related stereotypes and prejudices are both perpetuated and overcome.

Download or read book The Red Jews Antisemitism in an Apocalyptic Age 1200 1600 written by Andrew Colin Gow and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the history of an imaginary people — the Red Jews — in vernacular sources from medieval and early modern Germany. From the twelfth to the seventeenth century, German-language texts repeated and embroidered on an antisemitic tale concerning an epochal threat to Christianity, the Red Jews. This term, which expresses a medieval conflation of three separate traditions (the biblical destroyers Gog and Magog, the 'unclean peoples' enclosed by Alexander, and the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel), is a hostile designation of wickedness. The Red Jews played a major role in late medieval popular exegesis and literature, and appeared in a hitherto-unnoticed series of sixteenth-century pamphlets, in which they functioned as the medieval 'spectacles' through which contemporaries viewed such events as Turkish advances in the Near and Middle East. The Red Jews disappear from the sources after 1600, and consequently never found their way into historical scholarship.

Download or read book Byzantine Jewry in the Mediterranean Economy written by Joshua Holo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-12 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using primary sources, Joshua Holo uncovers the day-to-day workings of the Byzantine-Jewish economy in the middle Byzantine period. Built on a web of exchange systems both exclusive to the Jewish community and integrated in society at large, this economy forces a revision of Jewish history in the region. Paradoxically, the two distinct economic orientations, inward and outward, simultaneously advanced both the integration of the Jews into the larger Byzantine economy and their segregation as a self-contained body economic. Dr Holo finds that the Jews routinely leveraged their internal, even exclusive, systems of law and culture to break into - occasionally to dominate - Byzantine markets. In doing so, they challenge our concept of Diaspora life as a balance between the two competing impulses of integration and segregation. The success of this enterprise, furthermore, qualifies the prevailing claim of Jewish economic decline during the Commercial Revolution.

Download or read book Against the Inveterate Obduracy of the Jews written by Peter the Venerable and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Against the Inveterate Obduracy of the Jews represents a turning point in medieval anti-Jewish polemics. On the one hand, the polemic's intention--to bring about the conversion of the Jews--is predicated on an assumption that Jews are rational agents who may be persuaded of Christian truths by philosophical argument, empirical evidence, and proper biblical exegesis. On the other hand, Peter also introduced the notion that the Jews' enduring "blindness" stems from a persistent strain of bestial irrationality, for which they themselves are responsible. Peter traces this irrationality to the medieval Jews' commitment to the Talmud. Peter is the first medieval Christian author to name the Talmud explicitly. The Jewish convert to Christianity, Petrus Alfonsi, had ridiculed Talmudic folklore in his Dialogue Against the Jews. Peter the Venerable borrowed from but also surpassed Alfonsi's critique, as even his use of the name Talmud indicates. By emphasizing the irrationality of the Jews, Peter cast doubt upon their essential humanity and paved the way toward an increasingly violent treatment of the Jewish minority in medieval Christendom. Perhaps for this reason, Peter's Against the Inveterate Obduracy of the Jews has been popular among modern anti-Semites as well."--Publisher description.

Book excerpt: Judaism, the oldest of the Abrahamic religions, is one of the pillars of modern civilization. A collective of internationally renowned experts cooperated in a singular academic enterprise to portray Judaism from its transformation as a Temple cult to its broad contemporary varieties. In three volumes the long-running book series "Die Religionen der Menschheit" (Religions of Humanity) presents for the first time a complete and compelling view on Jewish life now and then - a fascinating portrait of the Jewish people with its ability to adapt itself to most different cultural settings, always maintaining its strong and unique identity. Volume III completes this ambitious project with profound chapters on Modern Jewish Culture, Halakhah (Jewish Law), Jewish Languages, Jewish Philosophy, Modern Jewish Literature, Feminism and Gender, and on Judaism and inter-faith relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late-medieval movement into 'vernacular theology,' as it has come to be called, inspired many forms of literary expression, in all the languages of Europe. Spanning a wide field, the contributors to this volume consider hagiography, translations of and commentaries on scripture, accounts of visionary experiences, and devotional literature. Their essays illuminate encounters with the divine mediated through language, bringing into play a diversity of national cultures and disciplinary points of view. They also engage vital social and political issues connected with religious experience, including challenges to authority, reinterpretations of texts, and renegotiations of gender roles.

Download or read book Martin Luther the Bible and the Jewish People written by Martin Luther and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The place and significance of Martin Luther in the long history of Christian anti-Jewish polemic has been and continues to be a contested issue. The literature on the subject is substantial and diverse. While efforts to exonerate Luther as "merely" a man of his times who "merely" perpetuated what he had received from his cultural and theological tradition have rightly been jettisoned, there still persists even among the educated public the perception that the truly problematic aspects of Luther's anti-Jewish attitudes are confined to the final stages of his career. It is true that Luther's anti-Jewish rhetoric intensified toward the end of his life, but reading Luther with a careful eye toward "the Jewish question," it becomes clear that Luther's theological presuppositions toward Judaism and the Jewish people are a central, core component of his thought throughout his career, not just at the end. It follows then that it is impossible to understand the heart and building blocks of Luther's theology (justification, faith, liberation, salvation, grace) without acknowledging the crucial role of "the Jews" in his fundamental thinking. Luther was constrained by ideas, images, and superstitions regarding the Jews and Judaism that he inherited from medieval Christian tradition. But the engine in the development of Luther's theological thought as it relates to the Jews is his biblical hermeneutics. Just as "the Jewish question" is a central, core component of his thought, so biblical interpretation (and especially Old Testament interpretation) is the primary arena in which fundamental claims about the Jews and Judaism are formulated and developed.
