Product details
The ensemble of medieval artifacts in Erfurt, with its unique representation of Jewish culture in Central Europe, is presented for the first time in the current sixth volume of the Erfurt writings on Jewish history, alongside insights into the previously less explored Rudolstadt Judaica collection. This is an exciting and sensually fascinating process aimed at discovering new perspectives. It gains multidimensionality through an explicitly interdisciplinary viewpoint. It is an attempt to see from the perspective of the object. Drawing on the concept of a new materialism in the social and historical sciences, the special ritual object is perceived not from an idea, but as a reality. These ritual objects address the sensually concrete existence of things in the context of their pragmatic use: Erfurt wedding rings, Hebrew gravestones, Torah scrolls, voice keys, belts, candlesticks, prayer boards, Misrach. All of them thus hold high symbolic value and simultaneously possess a unique aesthetic appeal. Nevertheless, the coexistence of these objects is linked to their embedding in documentation, tradition, and contextualization. By particularly highlighting the Jewish ritual object in its use, this volume can celebrate the cultural richness and identity of Jewish communities.
