Perspectives sur l'histoire du karaïsme, Perspectives on the History of Karaism
First Edition
Karaism is a Jewish religious movement that emerged in the 9th century in Iraq and Palestine, opposing rabbinic Judaism and the notion of an oral Torah. Read More
This important trend of medieval Judaism, which was also found in the Byzantine world, and later, in modern times, in the Ottoman world, in Crimea, and in Eastern Europe, constitutes a remarkable example of the complexity and variety of Judaism.
For the past three decades, Karaism has been the subject of innovative studies that have considerably renewed our understanding of its history. It remains, however, little-known outside a small circle of specialists. The aim of this book is to provide a new dynamic to Karaite studies in the French-speaking world, by bringing together specialists in Karaism and specialists in other fields of Jewish studies: such a dialogue proves particularly fruitful, not only for analysing debates, polemics, and developments within Judaism itself, but also for understanding the inscription of various forms of Judaisms in their social, cultural, and religious contexts.
Ce courant important du judaïsme médiéval, présent aussi dans le monde byzantin et plus tard, à l'époque moderne, dans le monde ottoman, en Crimée et en Europe orientale, est un exemple remarquable de la complexité et de la variété du judaïsme.
Depuis trois décennies, le karaïsme est l’objet d’études novatrices qui ont considérablement renouvelé la compréhension de son histoire, mais qui restent mal connues hors du cercle des spécialistes. L’objectif de cet ouvrage, qui rassemble plusieurs contributions présentées lors d’un colloque international organisé à l’Université libre de Bruxelles en 2019, est de fournir une dynamique nouvelle aux études karaïtes dans le monde francophone, en faisant dialoguer spécialistes du karaïsme et spécialistes d’autres branches des études juives : un tel dialogue se révèle particulièrement fructueux, non seulement pour analyser les débats, polémiques et développements à l’intérieur même du judaïsme, mais aussi pour comprendre l’inscription des diverses formes de judaïsmes dans leurs contextes sociaux, culturels et religieux.
