Ascensions on high took many forms in Jewish mysticism and they permeated most of its history from its inception until Hasidism. The book surveys the various categories, with an emphasis on the architectural images of the ascent, like the resort to images of pillars, lines, and ladders. After surveying the variety of scholarly approaches to religion, the author also offers what he proposes as an eclectic approach, and a perspectivist one. The latter recommends to examine religious phenomena from a variety of perspectives. The author investigates the specific issue of the pillar in Jewish mysticism by comparing it to the archaic resort to pillars recurring in rural societies. Given the fact that the ascent of the soul and pillars constituted the concerns of two main Romanian scholars of religion, Ioan P. Culianu and Mircea Eliade, Idel resorts to their views, and in the Concluding Remarks analyzes the emergence of Eliade's vision of Judaism on the basis of neglected sources.

Karaism is a Jewish religious movement of a scripturalist and messianic nature, which emerged in the Middle Ages in the areas of Persia-Iraq and Palestine and has maintained its unique and varied forms of identity and existence until the present day, undergoing resurgent cycles of creativity, within its major geographical centres of the Middle-East, Byzantium-Turkey, the Crimea and Eastern Europe. This Guide to Karaite Studies contains thirty-seven chapters which cover all the main areas of medieval and modern Karaite history and literature, including geographical and chronological subdivisions, and special sections devoted to the history of research, manuscripts and printing, as well as detailed bibliographies, index and illustrations. The substantial volume reflects the current state of scholarship in this rapidly growing sub-field of Jewish Studies, as analysed by an international team of experts and taught in various universities throughout Europe, Israel and the United States.

Le Talmud, objet de toutes les méprises, est depuis deux mille ans au cœur de la vie juive traditionnelle. Livre unique, il a subi, à l'image de son peuple, les errances, les persécutions, les métamorphoses. Pierre-Henry Salfati, lui-même talmudiste, nous fait découvrir à travers tous les continents et toutes les époques comment le Talmud a généré communautés et individus incroyables, aux histoires surprenantes et uniques : les génies qui connaissent chaque centimètre carré de ses milliers de pages par cœur, les employés de Manhattan qui l'étudient chaque matin clans le train, les hassidim messianiques de Jérusalem, les collectionneurs fous... Parmi cette galerie fantastique, le livre est lui-même un personnage à part entière. On découvre ainsi des histoires de faux traités, d'autodafés, de cimetières livresques, de controverses avec le Ciel, d'imprimeries babéliennes, ou encore de divorce royal - celui d'Henri VIII en l'occurrence... De New York à Jérusalem en passant par Paris. Venise ou Worms, Pierre-Henry Salfati nous initie avec bonheur à un monde peu connu, peuplé de figures exubérantes et de mystères historiques. Une vraie belle histoire juive, en somme, clans tous les sens du terme.

This book focuses on the third section of one of the most important documents from the Qumran library, the epilogue of 4QMMT. It re-evaluates the textual basis for this section, and analyses how the epilogue functions as a part of the larger document. In addition to addressing the structure and genre of 4QMMT, this volume analyzes the use of Scripture in the epilogue in order to illuminate the theological agenda of the document's author/redactor. Although this book’s primary focus is on the epilogue, the results of this investigation shed light on 4QMMT as a whole.
