| Abstract | 'Legacy of Sepharad: Intellectual and Material Legacy of Late Medieval Sephardic Judaism' is the title of an interdisciplinary project funded by the Spanish Government and carried out at the Institute of Languages and Cultures of the Mediterranean and the Near East of the Spanish National Research Council, in Madrid. This panel aims at presenting ongoing research developed as part of the project within the areas of Jewish exegesis and Hebrew literature between the 13th and the 15th centuries. Choice of, and attitudes towards language, use of the vernacular, and notions of linguistic and cultural translation are core themes central to all three papers in the panel. |
