This paper deals with special codicological and palaeographical features of Ms. Jerusalem IM 180/... more This paper deals with special codicological and palaeographical features of Ms. Jerusalem IM 180/52, the Regensburg Pentateuch, which was written about 1300. Not only does this manuscript contain tagin (‘crownletsʼ) on single letters that differ from the usual use of tagin found in Tora scrolls, but it also displays the masora parva and masora magna in a peculiar layout. The marginal Masora includes many commentaries that decidedly fall outside the usual scope of a Masora note. The paper shows that the manuscript’s codicological peculiarities refer in many respects to the teachings of the ḥaside ashkenaz (the German Pious), who regarded tagin and Masoretic notes (to name but a few items) as carriers of the expanded divine revelation.

The Masorah of the Hebrew Bible has come down to us in various recensions within Biblical codices as well as in separate treatises. Until today, only the oriental Masoretic tradition had been dealt with in a scholarly fashion. The aim of this project is the firstever scientific engagement with the Western European (Ashkenazic) Masorah tradition between the 11th and 13th centuries, which differs from the oriental Masorah not only with respect to the philological content but also regarding its layout and mise en texte as masora figurata. By means of certain exegetical and artistic features, the Ashkenazic scholars tried to integrate the oriental Masoretic tradition that was originally developed as linguistic grammatical knowledge vis à vis Islamic punditry into Western European Rabbinic lore and law.This inculturation was conceivably influenced by the Christian environment (theology; iconography, book illumination, architecture). The anticipated results in this project will shed new light on the European history of the Masoretic Bible and its interpretation, and yield important scientific impulses not only for Jewish Studies, but also for Jewish and Christian theology as well as medieval art history. The philological work will be integrated into a digital work environment (BIMA Biblical Masora database), which will be hosted by the Abraham Berliner Center at the Center for Jewish Studies Heidelberg, and whose edition files and raw data will be incorporated by the University library Heidelberg after the project's termination.
