Abstract

The Stadtarchiv in Münster, Germany holds a medieval Hebrew fragment with portions of the daily Shema Yisrael prayer. Measuring 510 mm in height, this fragment is but a quarter of a large-sized parchment sheet, which was designed to be hung on a wall. This study introduces the fragment and describes its material features and then suggests its possible function against the backdrop of talmudic discussions on biblical texts that are incorporated in prayer. In light of the halakhic position that biblical verses should not be recited from memory but only from a written text, the original sheet was intended to provide worshippers with an accessible copy of the Shema text, since many did not have personal prayerbooks.

明斯特市档案馆藏希伯来语片段见证鲜为人知的仪式习俗

摘要德国明斯特的 Stadtarchiv 收藏着一块中世纪希伯来语片段，其中包含每日谢玛-以色利祈祷文的部分内容。该残片高 510 毫米，仅为一张大羊皮纸的四分之一，设计用于挂在墙上。本研究介绍了该碎片并描述了其材料特征，然后以犹太法典中关于将圣经文本纳入祈祷文的讨论为背景，提出了其可能的功能。根据哈拉哈克的立场，《圣经》经文不应凭记忆背诵，而只能根据书面文本背诵，因此原始纸张的目的是为崇拜者提供一份可查阅的《示玛经》文本，因为许多人没有个人祈祷书。

期刊介绍： The purpose of Jewish History, the sole English-language publication devoted exclusively to history and the Jews, is to broaden the limits of historical writing on the Jews. Jewish History publishes contributions in the field of history, but also in the ancillary fields of art, literature, sociology, and anthropology, where these fields and history proper cross paths. The diverse personal and professional backgrounds of Jewish History''s contributors, a truly international meeting of minds, have enriched the journal and offered readers innovative essays as well as special issues on topics proposed by guest editors: women and Jewish inheritance, the Jews of Latin America, and Jewish self-imaging, to name but a few in a long list.
