DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nBeginning in the twelfth century\, translations of Jewi
 sh texts begin  to appear in Christian Europe.  These translations were u
 sually of texts  concerned with the Bible (“correctoria”) or its exege
 sis.. Among the  texts translated are Bible commentaries (especially Rashi
 )\, liturgical  poems (piyyutim)\, but also halakhic (Talmud) and philosop
 hical texts  (Maimonides).\nThe workshop planned focuses especially on tra
 nslations of texts by  Ashkenazic Jews and their influence on Christian sc
 holars. To mention  only two areas: In the 19th century Arsène Darmestete
 r  discovered a medieval French translation of a Hebrew-written piyyut. Th
 e  question occurs\, as to why it was translated and who the possible  rea
 ders were. A second area is formed by the works of Rabbi Shlomo  Yitzhaqi 
 (“Rashi”\, ca. 1040-1105). He became famous within Judaism for  his co
 mmentary on all books of the Jewish Bible and of the complete  Babylonian 
 Talmud (only very few Biblical Books and Talmudic treatises  had been fini
 shed by his disciples). Some of these commentaries were  translated into L
 atin (at least one manuscript which contains a  translation of the comment
 ary on the Song of Songs is still extant) and  Rashi was one of the two Je
 wish authors who were read and quoted in  Latin literature of the 12th to 
 14th century.\nThe workshop aims at giving an overview over the state of s
 cholarly  work on Christian translation activities of Hebrew texts and of 
 the  transformation of Jewish knowledge into the Christian scholarly work 
 of  the high middle ages.\nThe invited speakers shall have enough time to 
 develop their argument  (ca. 45 minutes each) and it is planned to give ti
 me for extended  discussions.\nA volume with the proceedings might also re
 sult of the conference.
