Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Since the first conquest of Jerusalem by Nebukadnezzar II 597 B.C.E. and since the corresponding deportation of Jews to Mesopotamia, Babylonian Jews gave crucial impulses for the cultural and religious history of Judaism. Without texts like Deutero-Isaiah or the Babylonian Talmud, Judaism would not exist as we know it. This Privatissimum will engage with key source texts to research the history of Babylonian Judaism from its beginnings in neo-Babylonian times until the Arab conquest of the Sassanid Empire.
Assessment and permitted materials
Regular participation, translation of Hebrew texts, presentation, and written paper
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students will not only analyze ancient source texts critical to explore the history of Babylonian Judaism but wil - based on their presentation - study the pedagogy of academic Jewish studies.
