These textual images are compared to Egyptian culture. Midrash is analyzed from a cross-cultural perspective utilizing insights from the discipline of Egyptology. Egyptian textual icons in rabbinic texts are analyzed in their Egyptian context.Rabbinic knowledge concerning Egypt included: Alexandrian teachers are mentioned in rabbinic texts; Rabbis traveled to Alexandria; Alexandrian Jews traveled to Israel; trade relations existed; Egyptian, as well as Roman and Byzantine, artifacts relating to Egypt.Egyptian elements in the rabbinic discourse: the Nile inundation, the Greco-Roman Nile god, festivals, mummy portraits, funeral customs, language, Pharaohs, Cleopatra VII, magic, the gods Isis and Serapis. The hermeneutical role of Egyptian cultural icons in midrash is explored. Methods applied: comparative literature; semiotics; notions of time and space; the dialectical model of Theodor Adorno; theories of cultural identity by Jürgen Habermas; iconography (Mary Hamer); landscape theory; embodied fragments of memory (Jan Assmann). 410 0$aStudia Judaica (Walter de Gruyter & Co.) ;$vBd. 52. 606 $aEgypt in rabbinical literature 606 $aMidrash$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEgypt in the Bible 607 $aEgypt$xCivilization 610 $aEgypt. 610 $aExodus. 610 $aJudaism. 610 $aMidrash. 610 $aRabbinic. 615 0$aEgypt in rabbinical literature. 615 0$aMidrash$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEgypt in the Bible. 676 $a296.1/408932 686 $aBD 3640$2rvk 700 $aUlmer$b Rivka$01177397 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780739303321 996 $aEgyptian cultural icons in Midrash$93807511 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05431nam 2200697 450 001 9910811082703321 005 20230803195915.0 010 $a1-118-87352-1 010 $a0-470-65829-0 010 $a1-118-87351-3 035 $a(CKB)2670000000572619 035 $a(EBL)1823058 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001368579 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12497221 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001368579 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11448684 035 $a(PQKB)11409777 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16040919 035 $a(PQKB)23320184 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1823058 035 $a(DLC) 2014013515 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1823058 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10958091 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL653804 035 $a(OCoLC)875771282 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000572619 100 $a20141103h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPlant breeding /$fJack Brown, Peter D.

The challenges facing today's plant breeders have never been more overwhelming, yet the prospects to contribute significantly to global food security and farmers' quality of life have never been more exciting and fulfilling. Despite this there has been a worrying decline in public funding for plant breeding-related research and support for international centers of germplasm development and crop improvement.
