Abstract

Abstract:In this essay, I argue that there is a connection between the prominence of depicted books in thirteenth-and fourteenth-century illuminated Hebrew liturgical codices and the gendered distribution of such books in these miniatures. Books were Jewish status symbols, the counterparts in Jewish communities of the scepters and swords found in portrayals of powerful Christian laymen. Like the possession scepters and swords, the possession of books was symbolically gendered, and these symbols of power and status were valorized through exclusivity. Interestingly, in Christian high society, books were symbols of high-status women. A gendered analysis of painted books within books reveals both entanglements and subtle asymmetries between the Jewish community and Christian society.
基督教光照者,犹太赞助人,以及犹太书籍的性别
摘要:在这篇文章中,我认为在13世纪和14世纪的希伯来彩绘礼仪抄本中,描绘书籍的突出地位与这些微型书籍的性别分布之间存在联系。书籍是犹太人地位的象征,在犹太社区中,权杖和剑与强大的基督教俗人的形象相对应。就像拥有权杖和剑一样,拥有书籍也具有象征性的性别化,这些权力和地位的象征通过排他性得到了强化。有趣的是,在基督教上流社会,书籍是高地位女性的象征。对书中绘本的性别分析揭示了犹太社区和基督教社会之间的纠缠和微妙的不对称。
