Abstract

Research on Hebrew manuscript fragments retrieved from bookbindings started in the second half of the 19th century, some earlier forays into this field notwithstanding. Austria-Hungary played an important role in this field of research for its first hundred years – a fact that deserves attention. This pioneering research in Austria-Hungary was made possible by a recognition and appreciation of the importance of minor source materials (‘small finds’) by local scholars, and was characterized by a historical – rather than a literary-historical – interest in this source material. This article explores the particular historical and cultural factors which contributed to this regional development.

奥匈研究“欧洲精灵”的开端

对从装订中检索到的希伯来文手稿碎片的研究始于19世纪下半叶，尽管此前曾有人涉足该领域。奥匈帝国在这一研究领域的头一百年里发挥了重要作用，这一事实值得关注。奥匈帝国的这项开创性研究是由于当地学者对次要来源材料（“小发现”）的重要性的认识和赞赏，并以对该来源材料的历史兴趣而非文学历史兴趣为特征。本文探讨了促成这一区域发展的特殊历史文化因素。

期刊介绍： Zutot: Perspectives on Jewish Culture aims to fill a gap that has become more and more conspicuous among the wealth of scholarly periodicals in the field of Jewish Studies. Whereas existing journals provide space to medium and large sized articles, they neglect the small but poignant contributions, which may be as important as the extended, detailed study. The Zutot serves as a platform for small but incisive contributions, and provides them with a distinct context. The substance of these contributions is derived from larger perspectives and, though not always presented in an exhaustive way, will have an impact on contemporary discussions. The Zutot covers Jewish culture in its broadest sense, i.e. encompassing various academic disciplines—literature, languages and linguistics, philosophy, art, sociology, politics and history—and reflects binary oppositions such as religious and secular, high and low, written and oral, male and female culture.
