Jewish Literature under Muslim Rule: Textual Transformations and Inter-Religious Encounters
This event offers an international conference exploring the impact of Muslim rule on Jewish literature, with a particular focus on religious texts – including translations of the Bible, commentaries, and philosophical and legal writings. The conference will examine how Jewish authors responded – textually, linguistically, and theologically – to the Islamic environment in which they lived, and how Islamic models of thought, language, and literary form left their imprint on Jewish religious expression.
A cooperation between the Simon Dubnow Institute, Leipzig, and the Unit of Judaic Studies/Munich Research Centre of Jewish Arabic Cultures at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich.
