Knowledge in Circulation
The Reception and Transmission of Jewish Esoteric Knowledge in Manuscripts and Print in Early Modern East-Central Europe
The research blog will follow a research group project, funded by the German Research Foundation, which studies the reception and circulation of Jewish mystical and magical traditions in early modern East-Central Europe. The project will provide a systematic digital catalogue and quantitative analysis of Jewish texts commonly deemed esoteric produced and in circulation in East-Central Europe from 1500 to 1750. In the processes of circulation of kabbalistic knowledge, East-Central Europe played a crucial yet still understudied role. The aim of the blog is to familiarise wider academic and non-academic audiences alike with early modern handwritten and printed material and understand the role of various material genres in transmitting knowledge, in its various forms and types, across linguistic and disciplinary fields.
