[ha-Safran] Fleeting Dreams and Possessive Dybbuks (Magnes press)

[Celestina Levant]

 

 

Hello
We would like to introduce a new book published by Magnes press:

Fleeting Dreams and Possessive Dybbuks

On Dreams and Possession in Jewish and Other Cultures

Edited by: Rachel Elior 
 , 
Yoram Bilu 
 , Yair 
Zakovitch 
 
,Avigdor Shinan 
 

 

This book is dedicated to a comprehensive study of two subjects: crossing the 
bounderies between earth and heaven, between the visible and the invisible 
realm. The first subject - dreams and their meanings in Jewish culture and the 
literature of the classical world. The second subject - gohsts, deamons and 
haunting posessions in the Jewish culture and other religions. In twenty one 
articles the authors spread for the reader a diverse and Multidisciplinary 
image which shows how human beings have been attempting to peer behind the 
curtain and to give a lingual-literal expression to the experince of meeting 
unreachable worlds.

The papers collected in this volume represent the proceedings of two 
conferences organized by the 2005-2008 research group on ‘Ascending and 
Descending – Navigating between the Celestial and the Mundane, at the Hebrew 
University of Jerusalem’s Scholion Interdisciplinary Center for Jewish Studies.

[ha-Safran] New Post

[E.G.L. Schrijver]

The reunited Esslingen Mahzor

In the winter of 1290, Kalonymos ben Judah of Esslingen (near Stuttgart in 
North Württemberg) completed his only recorded professional accomplishment, the 
writing and decorating of a so-called ‘winter Mahzor’ for Rosh Hashanah, Yom 
Kippur and Sukkot. The second half of this Esslingen Mahzor has long been well 
known in the scholarly world. In its colophon the scribe makes explicit mention 
of the place and date in which the manuscript was produced (28 Tevet 5050/12 
January 1290). The codex, housed in the Bibliotheca Rosenthaliana, one of the 
Special Collections of the Library of the University of Amsterdam (Hs. Ros. 
609), is therefore the earliest recorded dated and localized Hebrew manuscript 
written in Germany. For many years, the first part of the Esslingen Mahzor 
appeared to have been lost. In the year 1990, Dr. Evelyn M. Cohen identified a 
manuscript in the collection of The Library of The Jewish Theological Seminary 
in New York (JTS MS 9344) as the missing first part of the Rosenthaliana 
volume. The texts are complementary and most of the decoration was done by the 
same artist. Later changes to the manuscript are identical: the same 
characteristic patch- and pastework occurs in both manuscripts, as do the 
extensive marginal annotations so typical of the Mahzor. Separated at some 
unknown time in the past, the original volume is now re-united electronically 
for the first time.
