The aim of the colloquium was to investigate Jewish approaches to the reading of texts, with a focus on reading practices that were applied to Hebrew and Aramaic texts in antiquity and the early Middle Ages. It explored, in particular, how these were shaped by material and non-textual aspects (oral traditions, performative context, philological values, etc). Among the questions it addressed were: How did non-textual components determine reading? To what extent did materiality shape or limit readings? How did reading practices shape the texts themselves? What values guided how texts were modified and variant texts evaluated? What determined which form or version of a text was read and according to what conventions? The responses to these questions collected in this volume highlight the tensions between authority and creativity, preservation and innovation, understanding and misapprehension, knowledge and ignorance, which shaped Jewish practices of reading. 410 0$aSemitic Languages and Cultures Series 606 $aJudaism$xLiturgy$vTexts 615 0$aJudaism$xLiturgy 676 $a296.437 701 $aNajman$b Hindy$01613160 701 $aSchorch$b Stefan$01808560 701 $aVerrijssen$b Jeroen$01843989 701 $avan der Schoor$b Hanneke$01843990 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911018079003321 996 $aReading$94426139 997 $aUNINA
