Abstract

Throughout the midrash Pirqe de-Rabbi Eliezer ( PRE ), motifs are recycled to connect primordial time to the eschaton. In this paper, I read passages on the well “created at twilight of the Sixth Day” in light of Bakhtin's notion of “chronotope” (lit. time-space). The author of PRE disengages the itinerant well from its traditional association with the desert sojourn and links it, instead, to the foundation stone of the world ( even shtiyah ) at the Temple Mount. The midrash reflects the influence of Islamic legends about the “white stone” around which the Dome of the Rock was built (ca. 690 C.E.). Over the course of the discussion, PRE is understood in terms of the genre “narrative midrash” and compared to classical rabbinic literature in order to illustrate changes in both form and content arising from the author's apocalyptic eschatology.
米德拉什、神话和巴赫金的年表:流动的井和皮尔克·德·拉比·以利以谢的基石
在整个midrash Pirqe de-Rabbi Eliezer (PRE)中,主题被循环使用,将原始时间与末世联系起来。在本文中,我根据巴赫金的“时空”概念,阅读了关于“在第六天的黄昏创造”这口井的段落。《PRE》的作者将流动之井从其与沙漠居住的传统联系中分离出来,而将其与圣殿山的世界基石(甚至是shtiyah)联系起来。米德拉什反映了伊斯兰传说中围绕着“白石”建造圆顶清真寺(约公元690年)的影响。在讨论的过程中,PRE被理解为“叙事米德拉什”的体裁,并与经典的拉比文学相比较,以说明作者的末世论在形式和内容上的变化。
