Gift and its Wages The Land of Israel and the Jewish People in the Spiritual Life of Medieval Russia,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Hardback, approx. X+408 pages., 33 b/w ill., 2 b/w line art, 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503534381.
An examination of Old Russia's dichotomous attitude towards the Jews and Jewish culture - the appropriation of the Old Testament and the concept of a 'Chosen' people and land juxtaposed with the subjugation of the Jews. Respect for the Old Testament and its heritage was an integral feature of Russian medieval culture and played a major role in determining Old Russia's value system and its attitude toward past and contemporary events. Jerusalem and the Holy Land were ideals, and the Chosen People and Old Testament heroes were role models and standards for both the past and the present. Yet, in its ongoing effort to be recognized as the 'New Chosen People' within the family of nations, Old Russia rejected 'the Other', that is the descendants of the 'Old Chosen People'. The almost total absence of Jews in Russia throughout the ancient period, along with the central role played by Jewish tradition in the development of its culture, are a contradiction. This book presents the story of this dichotomy during the Old Russian millennium, from its inception to the late seventeenth century. The material is organized chronologically, beginning with the creation of the Kievan state in the far reaches of the Khazar polity in the ninth century, and ending with the great transformation, the reforms of Peter the Great. This is preceded by a survey of two sources that shaped the image of the land and people of Israel in the erudite world of ancient Russia: a description of the Holy Land by Abbot Daniel in the early twelfth century, and the ancient Slavic translation of Josephus?s Wars of the Jews. Languages : English.
