Abstract

Entstanden vor/um Mitte des 9. Jahrhunderts, sind der altsächsische »Heliand« (eine dichterische Nacherzählung des Lebens Christi) und die fragmentarisch erhaltene altsächsische »Genesis« die ersten großepischen Zeugnisse des deutschen Sprachraums. Sie verbinden die Gattungstradition der spätantik-frühchristilichen Bibelepik mit der Formtradition germanischer Stabreimdichtung.

Abstract

Reading Genesis presents a panoramic view of the most vital ways that Genesis is approached in modern scholarship. Essays by ten eminent scholars cover the perspectives of literature, gender, memory, sources, theology, and the reception of Genesis in Judaism and Christianity. Each contribution addresses the history and rationale of the method, insightfully explores particular texts of Genesis, and deepens the interpretive gain of the method in question. These ways of reading Genesis, which include its classic past readings, map out a pluralistic model for understanding Genesis in - and for - the modern age.

Abstract

"Il commento alla Genesi di Pietro Comestore è parte di un'opera ben più vasta, composta intorno al 1170 e nota in epoca successiva con il titolo, pressoché intraducibile nelle lingue moderne, di Historia Scholastica. Il termine historia ne individua l'oggetto: è la storia sacra -- la 'storia' per eccellenza secondo la mentalità medievale -- che, a partire dal libro della Genesi fino ai Vangeli, è narrata in stretta aderenza alla traccia biblica e, al contempo, puntualmente commentata sotto il profilo esegetico, con privilegio (quasi esclusivo) accordato all'esegesi storico-letterale. L'appellativo scholastica è suggello postumo ad indicare la generale adozione 'scolastica' dell'opera, quale imprescindibile manuale di riferimento, almeno per l'intera epoca tardomedievale, nelle facoltà di teologia delle università europee. Un'opera, dunque, di assoluta rilevanza, ma la cui sterminata estensione nonché vastità della tradizione manoscritta sono state, e sono tuttora, di ostacolo a qualsivoglia progetto di edizione critica integrale e di studio analitico d'insieme."--

Abstract

Anders als die meisten anderen spätantiken Bibeldichtungen weist die Alethia des Claudius Marius Victorius neben Einflüssen aus dem paganen Epos starke Bezüge zum Lehrgedicht und speziell zu Lukrez auf. Obwohl einzelne Lukrezparallelen schon im 19. Jh. beobachtet wurden, wurde nie umfassend untersucht, in welchem Verhältnis epische und lehrdichterische Züge in der Alethia zueinander stehen. Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert systematisch die epischen und lehrdichterischen Elemente im Werk, wobei formale und inhaltliche Aspekte gleichermaßen berücksichtigt werden. Im Zuge der Untersuchung werden auch Bezüge zu Tendenzen der spätantiken Dichtung sowie zentrale theologische Anliegen des Autors herausgearbeitet. Abschließend wird auf der Grundlage der Untersuchungsergebnisse die Stellung der Alethia im Kontext der spätantiken Bibeldichtung neu bestimmt. Insgesamt gelingt es, sowohl die Abhängigkeiten als auch die Spezifika der Alethia schärfer als zuvor sichtbar zu machen - und damit zugleich die Vielfalt und Produktivität der lange vernachlässigten Gattung Bibeldichtung aufzuzeigen.

Abstract

This commentary is an innovative interpretation of one of the most profound texts of world literature: the book of Genesis. The first book of the Bible has been studied, debated, and expounded as much as any text in history, yet because it addresses the weightiest questions of life and faith, it continues to demand our attention. The author of this new commentary combines older critical approaches with the latest rhetorical methodologies to yield fresh interpretations accessible to scholars, clergy, teachers, seminarians, and interested laypeople. It explains important concepts and terms as expressed in the Hebrew original so that both people who know Hebrew and those who do not will be able to follow the discussion. 'Closer Look' sections examine Genesis in the context of cultures of the ancient Near East. 'Bridging the Horizons' sections enable the reader to see the enduring relevance of the book in the twenty-first century.

Abstract

The Assyriologist George Smith (1840-76) was trained originally as an engraver, but was enthralled by the discoveries of Layard and Rawlinson. He taught himself cuneiform script, and joined the British Museum as a 'repairer' or matcher of broken cuneiform tablets. Promotion followed, and after one of Smith's most significant discoveries among the material sent to the Museum - a Babylonian story of a great flood - he was sent to the Middle East, where he found more inscriptions which contained other parts of the epic tale of Gilgamesh. In 1876, shortly before his early death, Smith published this work, which drew extraordinary parallels between much earlier cuneiform documents and the biblical book of Genesis. The book was both controversial and very successful. The second edition, reissued here, was published in 1880, with corrections and additional material provided by Archibald Sayce (1846-1933), which reflected recent advances in Middle Eastern studies.

Abstract

Procopius of Gaza wrote a major commentary on most of the historical books of the Old Testament (CPG 7430). This volume presents the first section, devoted to Genesis, for the first time in the complete Greek text. Amidst Procopius's continuous text we find a collection of excerpts that is of extraordinary value as a source in places where the original work was lost due to Council decisions or historical events. Prokop von Gaza (ca. 465/470-526/530) verfasste einen großen Kommentar zu den meisten Geschichtsbüchern des Alten Testaments (CPG 7430, bisher fälschlich als Catena in Octateuchum oder Catena in Heptateuchum bezeichnet). Hier wird die kritische Edition des ersten Teil, des Genesiskommentars, vorgelegt; sie enthält zum ersten Mal den vollständigen griechischen Text.Hinter dem fortlaufenden Texts Prokops verbirgt sich eine Sammlung von Exzerpten aus der Bibelexegese der griechischen Kirchenväter, die man zu seiner Zeit für die gültige Auslegung des Alten Testaments hielt. Besonderen Quellenwert haben diejenigen Exzerpte, für die sich in der uns erhaltenen Überlieferung keine Vorlage, oft nicht einmal der Name des Autors, identifizieren lässt; hier verbergen sich Fragmente, die in ihrer vollständigen Fassung verloren gegangen sind, sei es, weil ihre Verfasser auf späteren Konzilien zu Ketzern erklärt wurden, sei es, weil (gerade bei orientalischen Autoren) die vollständigen Handschriften während der arabischen Eroberung verloren gingen. Das Werk ist daher eine wichtige Quelle für alle, die sich mit der Älteren Kirchengeschichte oder die Exegese des Alten Testaments beschäftigen. Die mit Anmerkungen versehene deutsche Übersetzung der Editorin ist als Band N.F. 23 in der neuen Unterreihe „Übersetzungen / Translations“ der „Griechischen christlichen Schriftsteller“ erschienen.

Abstract

"This is the first English translation of the Venerable Bede's Latin commentary on the book of Genesis. Dealing as it does with the biblical account of the creation of the world and of humankind, and of humankind's fall from grace and exile into the life of time. On Genesis offers essential insights into Bede's fundamental assumptions as a theologian, historian, and scientific cosmologist. Bede's role in laying the foundations of the modern world cannot be overemphasised. From his quantitative approach to questions of science to his introduction of the Anno Domini system of dating and his text-critical methods of biblical analysis, he anticipated and influenced modern ways of thinking. Bede regarded the opening chapters of Genesis as the foundation narrative of the world. From this narrative he derived the theoretical basis for his scientific treatises and his notion of the English as a chosen people of God, which informs the Ecclesiastical History."--Jacket.
