Interconnected Traditions: Semitic Languages, Literatures, Cultures—A Festschrift for Geoffrey Khan
Volume 2: The Medieval World, Judaeo-Arabic, and Neo-Aramaic
Edited by Aaron D. Hornkohl, Nadia Vidro, Janet C.E. Watson, Eleanor Coghill, Magdalen M. Connolly, Benjamin M. Outhwaite
Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 978-1-80511-579-3
This open-access book brings together more than thirty essays on languages and the ways they develop, interact, and influence one another. Its main focus is the Middle East, where Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic long existed side by side and often overlapped in everyday use, scholarship, and culture.
Excerpt:
In line with Geoffrey (Khan)’s commitment to the maximally accessible dissemination of research, this Festschrift has been published in both open-access digital editions and affordable printed formats. Due to the number of contributions, their length, and the variety in their subject matter, they are divided into two volumes, with each volume further subdivided into two sections. The volumes and sections are topical and broadly chronological. Volume 1, section A, is dedicated to contributions on Hebrew, ranging from biblical to modern. Volume 1, section B, contains articles on comparative Semitic philology and linguistics and on the Semitic languages more broadly. Volume 2, section A, is devoted to contributions dealing with the medieval and late pre-modern periods, including the Cairo Geniza, grammatical traditions, and JudaeoArabic. Volume 2, section B, is reserved for studies on Neo-Aramaic.
Who is this book for?
This book is aimed at language scholars, and many of its articles require technical expertise. Historians of medieval Jewish society will also find much of interest here, including several pieces that deal with the Cairo Genizah.
