20 Years of Spanish Research on Rabbinic Language and Literature

Abstract

Rabbinic Studies in Spain derive from Targumic Studies. Father of both of them is Prof. Alejandro Díez Macho ( … 1984). The first important work in the field of Rabbinics is the Mishnah translation by Carlos del Valle (1981). Since then 20 years of fruitful research have followed: first editions and translations, several linguistic, theological and historical studies, and many minor works of popularization as well. I will present an index of results of this intensive work and a tentative look at the work to be done in the near future.
