SUMMARY:Toledot Yeshu ("The Life of Jesus") among the Jews of Medieval Islamic Lands
DESCRIPTION:<p style="text-align: center;">	<a data-fid="3806600" href="/file_url/2637">(See event flyer here)</a><br>The Department of near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University presents: </p><p style="text-align: center;">	Toledot Yeshu ("The Life of Jesus") among the Jews of Medieval Islamic Lands</p><p style="text-align: center;">	A lecture with Dr. Miriam Goldstein<br>(Associate Professor of Arabic Language and Literature and chair of the Department of Arabic Language and Literature, Hebrew University of Jerusalem)</p><p style="text-align: center;">	This talk will explore the astonishing popularity of Toledot Yeshu—a parody of the life of Jesus, first attested in Late Antiquity in Aramaic—among the Arabic-speaking Jews of the medieval Islamic world. Presenting Toledot Yeshu as a product of medieval Judeo-Arabic literature and as a Jewish narrative shared and exchanged between the Near East, the Mediterranean and Europe, it will illuminate sustained Jewish interest in the work for more than a millennium and a half in the Near East, as well as the significance of this enduring appeal for understanding Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations in the Islamic milieu.</p><p style="text-align: center;">	If you or an event participant require disability-related accommodations, please contact nelc@fas.harvard.edu</p>
