NES 6776
Talmud and the Art of Reading (in original Hebrew and Aramaic)

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

This course is offered as a companion to NES 4776 for an additional credit.  During this hour, we will read the texts presented each week (during the seminar portion of Talmud and the Art of Reading) in the original Aramaic and Hebrew.  We will explore important manuscript variations as well as the grammatical and lexical nuances of the original primary sources.  We will also address how the tools of source and text criticism can be applied to the Talmud.  The purpose of this companion course is to further develop reading skills as well as address textual issues that cannot be properly dealt with in translation.  Some previous acquaintance with reading Talmud in its original language is necessary for enrollment in this course.  Please contact the instructor if you have questions about whether your reading level is appropriate for this course. 

When Offered Spring.
