Für ein Corpus jüdisch-lateinischer Texte der Spätantike und des Frühmittelalters. Überlegungen zur Erforschung der vorrbinischen Kultur des Judentums im westlichen Mittelmeerraumhttp://832d3ab5-17d0-47c5-97ac-6a2d8and97e57eFor a corpus of judeo-latins of tardy antiquity and high medieval. Reflections for the study of the pre-combinational culture of Western Mediterranean Jewish Starting from the title of a carolingio manuscript (Reims, Bibliothèque Municipale Carnegie, ms. 118) containing a work attributed to Girolamo, the article examines some Western Latin texts of potential Jewish authors. In the past, several scholars have identified some of these texts (including the Lex Dei or the Annae Epistula in Senecam) as Judaic works, but more often they are thought to be translations from Jewish and/or Greek, or works of converts aimed at a Christian audience. This study reviews the main epigraphic and archaeological testimonies of the Western diaspora (Rome, Venosa, Hammam Lif synagogue), but also the visiting Christian texts referring to Jews (especially Giuliano di Toledo), challenging the assumption that a text written in Latin must necessarily be of Christian origin and that a Jewish text must necessarily be written in Jewish. On the contrary, this essay insists that all Latin texts with religious content that do not have an explicitly Christian content may have been part of a pre-combinational Western Judaic written culture. This calls into question the general idea of a complete spiritual and intellectual decline of diaspora Judaism after the destruction of the Temple. Among the texts examined, the most important and relevant work is the Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum (LAB) of the Ps.-Filone, which is considered to be the Latin translation of the Greek version of a Jewish I or 2nd century AD original. However, there is no evidence of Greek and Jewish versions and, apart from a debatable oncial fragment (Freiburg/Breisgau, Universitätsbibliothek, Italy? 7th century?), the oldest traces of the work come from the biblical comments of Rabano Mauro and Aimone from Auxerre, both in the 9th century. The first handwritten testimonies (19th to 12th century) are concentrated in Bavaria and Salzburg, as well as a rather peripheral witness from Trier and another from Fulda. The critical examination of commentators’ methods and arguments shows that there is no evidence of Greek and/or Jewish founder, either in terms of content or on the basis of filological elements. Other text discussed in detail here is the Lex Dei. Unlike previous studies, this composition may have been completed after 438. Overall, the aim of the essay is to relocate the Western Mediterranean Jewish diaspora as an integral part of Roman and Roman Roman and tardoantic and altomedieval society and culture. Toward a corpus of Jewish-Latin texts from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. Reflections on research into the pre-combinational culture of Judaism in the Western Mediterranean Starting from a title of a Carolingian manuscript (Reims, B.M., ms. 118) indicating that the author of a Latin commentary on the Book of Kings was a jew, this article deals with western Latin texts powerful by Jewish authors. It references also to the epigraphic and Archaeological evidence of the western diaspora (Rome, Venosa, North Africa) and to Christian statements about Jews and their textual culture. It thereby questions the assumption that a text written in Latin must be of Christian origin and a Jewish text must necessarily be written in Hebrew. On the contrary, this article explains that at least prior to the reception of ramic Judaism, Latin texts with religious content do not have an illustrative Christian content — such as the Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum by Ps.-Philo, some works by Ps.-Jerome, the Lex Dei, and others — seem to be of Jewish origin: with the result that the image of a complete spiritual and intellectual decline of Diaspora Judaism after the destruction of the Temple needs to be reviewed.
