Jewish Piety in Islamic Jerusalem
Angebote / Angebote:
The first Jewish Bible commentaries were written in Arabic, in medieval Islamic cities like Baghdad and Jerusalem. Jewish Piety in Islamic Jerusalem explores the construction of a new Jewish spirituality within these texts, focusing on the Lamentations commentary of Salmon ben Yeruhim. Salmon considers Lamentations to be a source of pious and ritual instruction for the Jewish community in exile. He reinterprets the Bible and traditional rabbinic teachings
with the scholarly tools of his era-Arabic-Islamic models of exegesis, homily, and historiography-and develops distinctively Jewish practices of biblical scholarship, asceticism, and penitential mourning.
