Synopsis

English summary: Gerold Necker’s study Das Buch des Lebens offers for the first time thecomplete edition of this work along with an introduction, a transla-tion and a commentary. It also includes a detailed discussion ofdate, authorship and origin of the Book of Life : Gerold Necker arguesthat it was written in Northern France at the height of the tosafisticera. His analysis shows how the author of the Book of Life respondsto the historical situation of French Jewry at the end of the 12thcentury and to certain current theological ideas in the Latin-Christian environment. German description: Das ‘Buch des Lebens’ ( Sefer ha-Hayyim ) wird seit Gershom Scholems Erforschung der judischen Mystik im europaischen Mittelalter demGrenzbereich zwischen ‘Ursprung und Anfangen der Kabbala’ und dem Wirkungskreis des esoterischen Schrifttums der ‘deutschen Frommen'( haside ashkenaz ) zugerechnet. Die vorliegende Ausgabe enthalt neben der ersten vollstandigenkritischen Edition auch eine kommentierte Ubersetzung sowie eineDiskussion zu Fragen der Datierung und Autorschaft dieses anony-men Werkes. Dabei werden sowohl die Entstehungsbedingungen inder christlich gepragten Umwelt Nordfrankreichs als auch die un-mittelbare Wirkungsgeschichte des Sefer ha-Hayyim im judischenKontext berucksichtigt. Gerold Necker analysiert das programmati-sche Inhaltsverzeichnis des Sefer ha-Hayyim , bei den haside ashkenaz prominente Themen wie die Lehre von der gottlichen Herrlichkeit( torat ha-kavod ) sowie ein fur das Sefer ha-Hayyim typisches Gleichnis.Er zeigt, dass sich das ‘Buch des Lebens’ nicht nur durch die eigen-willige Behandlung zeitgenossischer religioser Probleme, sonderninsgesamt durch seine neuplatonischen Tendenzen nachdrucklichvon anderen Schriften der haside ashkenaz abhebt. Die Zuordnungdes Sefer ha-Hayyim zu nordfranzosischen Tosafisten-Kreisen des be-ginnenden 13. Jahrhunderts korrigiert schliesslich die Vorstellungvon einer den deutsch-nordfranzosischen Kulturraum dominieren-den Bewegung der haside ashkenaz .
