    Information

    Aims, contents and method of the course

    In this seminar students will be introduced to a great range of "Jewish" literary works, from Antiquity to the late Middle Ages, beginning with the books of the Bible up to the works of the great mediavel philosopher, Maimonides.

    The main aim of the seminar is to encourage students to read the little known masterpieces of Jewish literature. I wish to provide them with the tools to understand how these literary works are composed and how to make sense of them.

    Assessment and permitted materials

    Stundents are expected to read a selection of the primary literature. Some extracts thereof will be read and discussed together in class.

    In addition to the primary literature, works of secondary literature will be assigned and students will need to answer some questions. The answer will have to be sent to the lecturer by noon on Friday before the class.

    Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

    Regular preparation and participation in class replaces the oral exam at the end of the semester.

    Examination topics

    Primary works of Jewish literature (in Hebrew/Aramaic and in English translation :) and secondary literature (mainly in English, some in German).

    Reading list

    All primary and secondary literature will be put on Moodle.
