Journal of Textual Reasoning

The Journal of Textual Reasoning is the main publishing expression of the Society of Textual Reasoning, which sponsors an electronic list-serve [textualreasoning@list.mail.virginia.edu] and meetings at professional academic conferences. The Journal will publish essays in the exegetical analyses of Jewish texts and the practice of textual reasoning as well as statements in the on-going development of the theory of Textual Reasoning. The Journal will generally follow a particular theme in each issue and include reviews of books relevant to Textual Reasoning.

Women in Judaism: A Multidisciplinary Journal
ISSN: 1209-9392

WOMEN IN JUDAISM: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL is an academic, refereed journal published exclusively on the Internet, and devoted to scholarly debate on gender-related issues in Judaism. The ultimate aim of the journal is to promote the reconceptualization of the study of Judaism, by acknowledging and incorporating the roles played by women, and by encouraging the development of alternative research paradigms. Cross-methodological and interdisciplinary, the journal does not promote a fixed ideology, and welcomes a variety of approaches.

Freimann-Sammlung der Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt

Freimann-Sammlung der Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt

 Die Judaica-Sammlung der Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt am MainRussische Zeitungen. entstand Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts durch großzügige Spenden Frankfurter Juden. Ihr langjähriger Leiter, Prof. Dr. Aron Freimann , baute sie bis 1933 zur umfangreichsten und bedeutendsten Spezialsammlung des europäischen Kontinents aus. Die Sammlung mit ihren ca. 15.000 Titeln ist in einem Katalog verzeichnet und umfasst die gesamte historische Literatur zur Wissenschaft des Judentums bis 1932.

Das Projekt

Infolge des Dritten Reichs und des Zweiten Weltkriegs ist die Freimann-Sammlung in der Frankfurter Universitätsbibliothek nicht mehr vollständig vorhanden. Ziel des Projekts ist die Erfassung der in alle Welt verstreuten Werke der ehemaligen Sammlung, ihre Digitalisierung und virtuelle Rekonstruktion in der Datenbank. Als "Virtuelle Judaica-Sammlung" steht sie weltweit für jeden Internetbenutzer zur Verfügung und bietet verschiedene Suchmöglichkeiten an.

Projektpartner

Das Digitalisierungsprojekt wird durchgeführt in einer Kooperation des Sondersammelgebiets Judentum der Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt am Main und des Lehr- und Forschungsgebiets Deutsch-jüdische Literaturgeschichte an der RWTH Aachen. Das Projekt wurde von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) gefördert.

The Freimann Collection comprises the literature of Science of Judaism (Wissenschaft des Judentums) in European languages and is part of the historic Judaica collection. It was created at the end of the 19th century through generous donations of Frankfurt Jewish philanthropists. Professssor Dr. Aron Freimann, long-time curator until 1933, formed it into the most significant Judaica collection of the European continent before World War II. In 1932 a catalog of all titles was published, reprinted in 1968 as bibliography thus compiling the complete historic literature of Wissenschaft des Judentums.

The project

Due to National Socialism and the Second World War the collection suffered partial losses and is no longer complete.
This portal aims to create a complete digital collection of the historic resources by complementing it with digital facsimiles of the missing titles from other libraries all over the world. The database offers various search options, downloading and printing of the texts.
The project was sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG) in the years of 2007-2010 and carried out in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Hans Otto Horch, former Professor at the Lehr- und Forschungsgebiet Europäisch-Jüdische Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte at the RWTH Aachen University. Various libraries have contributed digital facsimiles to the portal.
Since 2011 the project continues in cooperation with the Center for Jewish History / Leo Baeck Institute in New York and is sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH).

Digital Mishnah

Digital Mishnah

 

The Digital Mishnah Project will provide users with a database of digitized manuscripts of the Mishnah from around the world, along with tools for collation, comparison, and analysis. This demo provides fully marked up transcriptions of several major witnesses of tractate Neziqin (Bava Qamma, Bava Metsi'a, and Bava Batra), and illustrates basic functionalities. In addition the transcribed witnesses include several Genizah fragments, with an emphasis on those fragments that join other fragments to make up larger manuscripts

Manuscript witnesses are referred to by the catalog number in the Sussmann Thesaurus (S+0+Sussmann no.). Printed editions are provisionally given serial numbers.

Last update: 7/17/2014.

The browse function presents metadata and a rendering of the transcription that which can be viewed with their metadata and approximately as laid out in the original text.

The compare function allows for the detailed comparison of witnesses. At its core it runs a set of texts through CollateX, which aligns matching words ("tokens"). The Digital Mishnah site remerges this output with the original textual data and represents the results both as an alignment table, and as a text with critical apparatus. The user can determine the passage, the witnesses, and the order. Because we anticipate that a number of users will prefer a parallel-column ("synoptic") presentation, the collate page shows an arrangement of the selected passage arranged in parallel columns by witness in the user-specified order. Note: The previous version of this set of functions is at collate.

Open Access Journal: Melilah: Manchester Journal of Jewish Studies

 [First posted in AWOL 16 July 2010, updated 10 June 2014 with the addition of digitization of the 5 original volumes of Melilah (1944-1955) see below]

Melilah: Manchester Journal of Jewish Studies
ISSN 1759-1953

 

Melilah is an interdisciplinary Open Access journal available in both electronic and book form concerned with Jewish law, history, literature, religion, culture and thought in the ancient, medieval and modern eras. It encourages work from younger scholars at the start of their academic careers as well as contributions from established scholars. The editors are Daniel Langton and Renate Smithuis, supported by a Manchester-based editorial board that includes Philip Alexander, Moshe Behar, Rocco Bernasconi, Jean-Marc Dreyfus, Cathy Gelbin, Alex Samely, and Bill Williams, and an international advisory board that includes Miriam Ben-Zeev, Gad Freudenthal, Moshe Idel, Paul Mendes-Flohr, Shmuel Moreh, Norman Solomon, David Sorkin, Günter Stemberger, Paul Wexler and Eli Yassif.

Melilah was launched in 2004 by Bernard Jackson and Ephraim Nissan under the auspices of the Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Manchester as the New Series of the journal of the same name founded by Edward Robertson and Meir Wallenstein and published (in Hebrew) by Manchester University Press from 1944 to 1955. Five substantial volumes, each of around two hundred pages, were produced before the series was discontinued. In his editorial foreword to the first edition, Robertson explained that Melilah had been established to promote Jewish scholarship in the face of the threat posed by the Second World War and its aftermath. The title of the journal refers to the ears of corn that are plucked to rub in the hands before the grains can be eaten (Deut. 23:25).

Open Access Journal: Hebraic Political Studies

 [First posted in AWOL 30 September 2009. Updated 16 March 2014]

Hebraic Political Studies
ISSN: 1565-6640

Hebraic Political Studies is an international, peer-reviewed journal launched in 2005.  The journal is published quarterly by Shalem Press, and edited by Professor Gordon Schochet of Rutgers University and Dr. Arthur Eyffinger of the Huygens Institute in the Netherlands. Hebraic Political Studies publishes articles that explore the political concepts of the Hebrew Bible and rabbinic literature, the significance of reflections on the Hebrew Bible and Judaic sources in the history of ideas, and the role of these sources in the history of the West. Hebraic Political Studies aims to evaluate the place of the Jewish textual tradition, alongside the traditions of Greece and Rome, in political history and the history of political thought.

Sefaria - ספאריה

Sefaria - ספאריה

The Sefaria Project is about building the future of Jewish learning in an open and participatory way.
 
We are building a free living library of Jewish texts and their interconnections, in Hebrew and in translation. Our scope is Torah in the broadest sense, from Tanakh to Talmud to Zohar to modern texts and all the volumes of commentary in between. Sefaria is created, edited, and annotated by an open community.
 
Having digital texts enables us to create new, interactive interfaces for the Web, tablet and mobile which allow students and scholars around the world to freely learn and explore the interconnections among Torah texts.
 
Judaism's core texts grew out of millennia-long conversations and arguments across generations. We envision creating an open space for ancient conversations to continue in new ways, with new participants, new questions, and new layers of dialogue.
