Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description The study by Nathanael Riemer focuses on the work Beer Sheva (Seven Wells) which was written in Yiddish by Rabbi Beer Shmuel Issachar and his wife Bella Perlhefter of Prague at the turn of the seventeenth to the eighteenth century. As a book of remembrance and consolation it was dedicated to the couple's seven deceased children. Beer, who worked as a private teacher of Jewish literature to the polymath Johann Christoph Wagenseil, is known as an extraordinary Kabbalist. In the present research, widescattered documents are gathered for the first time to write a biography of the authors. The preserved manuscripts are compared and analyzed in terms of literary criticism and religious history: Beer Sheva is presented from the point of view of structure and context in order to determine its character and classification within Jewish literature. In the seven parts of Beer Sheva, Heaven, Purgatory, and Paradise are presented in a simple, visual language. The history of Israel from the creation of the world until the Babylonian Exile takes up a great part, and leads to detailed reflections on the Messiah and Israel's salvation. It concludes with specific instructions for repentance, discussions of the resurrection of the dead, and presumptions of the future world. Beer Sheva is an impressive encyclopedia which assembles all important fields of knowledge of the Jewish culture while transporting moral ideas to the reader through entertaining stories. As one of the first Yiddish works, it makes longer Kabbalistic passages of the Zohar accessible to a nonacademic audience by translating it into the cultural lingua franca of Ashkenazic Judaism. Das Werk Beer Sheva (Sieben Brunnen) wurde von dem Prager Rabbiner Beer und seiner Frau Bella Perlhefter an der Schwelle vom 17. zum 18. Jahrhundert in jiddischer Sprache verfasst und ist als Erinnerungsbuch den sieben verstorbenen Kindern des Ehepaares gewidmet. Beer, der bei dem Universalgelehrten Johann Christoph Wagenseil als Lehrer fur judische Literatur arbeitete, galt als ein aussergewohnlicher Mystiker. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung werden erstmalig weitverstreute Dokumente zu einer Darstellung des Lebenswegs der Autoren zusammengetragen. Auf der Grundlage eines Vergleichs der erhaltenen Handschriften wird Beer Sheva unter literaturwissenschaftlichen und religionshistorischen Aspekten analysiert. Das Werk beschreibt in bildreicher Sprache zunachst den Himmel, das Purgatorium und das Paradies. Der Darstellung der Geschichte Israels von der Erschaffung der Welt bis zum Babylonischen Exil folgen Erlauterungen uber die messianische Zeit und die Auferstehung der Toten. Die Autoren schufen mit Beer Sheva eine beindruckende Enzyklopadie, in die alle wichtigen Wissensbereiche des Judentums Eingang fanden. Die Lekture soll dem Leser Moralvorstellungen vermitteln, mochte ihn aber auch mit Hilfe einer Fulle von Erzahlungen unterhalten. Innerhalb der judischen Kultur stellt Beer Sheva eine Besonderheit dar, da es als eines der ersten jiddischen Werke Texte der Kabbala in der Kultursprache des aschkenasischen Judentums zuganglich macht und sich nicht an ein Gelehrtenpublikum richtet.
