Abstract

Abstract: This microtextual analysis of a Zoharic textual unit sheds light on the boundaries and ideologies that guided the editors as they prepared the first print edition of the Zohar (Mantua, 1558), revealing how they adapted and interpolated an external commentary by Joseph of Hamadan, a thirteenth-century Castilian kabbalist. Furthermore, examining the adaptation of this same passage by a fourteenth-century Italian kabbalist, Menaḥem Recanati, provides insights into an important stage in the canonization of the Zohar. This fascinating case study not only contributes to the textual criticism of the Zohar but also brings to the fore the construction of improper sexuality as the most dangerous threat to the male Jew.

印刷时代光辉之书的多孔边界:作为性威胁象征的大腿筋上的光辉之书布道
摘要:对《光辉之书》文本单元的微观文本分析,揭示了指导编者准备第一版《光辉之书》(曼图亚,1558年)的边界和意识形态,揭示了他们如何改编和插入13世纪卡西提亚卡巴拉学者约瑟夫·哈马丹(Joseph of Hamadan)的外部注释。此外,检查14世纪意大利卡巴拉学家Menaḥem Recanati对同一段的改编,提供了对光辉之书册封的重要阶段的见解。这个引人入胜的案例研究不仅有助于对《光辉之书》的文本批评,而且还将不正当的性行为作为对男性犹太人最危险的威胁的构建带到了前面。
