Matthias M. Tischler|Patrick S. Marschner
In stark contrast to the Bibleâs paramount role of being only book declared have Â»World HeritageÂ« status by UNESCO, research on Â»Book BooksÂ« from a transcultural perspective is an almost neglected phenomenon: Neither Bibleâs relationship other Â»holy or sacredÂ« scriptures as modes religious and cultural perceptions transformations Othersâ world, nor its decisive Â»normative orderÂ« in many religious, social interaction Euro-mediterranean world been comprehensively studied historical perspective. Because their pretension normativity, laws this (Tanach, Talmud, Bible QurâÄn) were competing against confronting each with alternative models perceiving time, space history. The diverse concepts three monotheisms had consequences for common but nevertheless specific narratives, genres books exegetical, polemical historiographical practice; yet, we do not clear-cut ideas processes possible entanglement between these transforming history; know exact place value systems knowledge retroactive effects (on either side) interpretations own laws. Our project intends give answers basic questions based evidence Christian biblical legacy frontier societies medieval Iberian Peninsula. We thereby change societies: manuscripts are no longer seen testimonies texts text traditions alone, bearers canons: theoretical practical history alterities. therefore re-contextualize Â»the worldÂ« within, one hand, larger context typological thinking preserved manuscripts, materiality mediality; narrative framework related production.
