Middle Ages: further observations of rabbinic elements in medieval art. These were worked on with the same methodology: Aelfric Paraphrase (=Old English Hexateuch), 11th century. Pamplona Bibles, around 1300, Navarra and later copies of the same; Byzantine Octateuch manuscripts; Koberg Bible, Nurnberg 1483; Pierpont Morgan Library, Psalter, MS 724
Connections to early Christian art on the one hand and to medieval Jewish book illumination on the other
Christian images of the Discovery of Moses showing Pharaoh’s daughter naked, following the model of Dura Europos
Parallel representations also appear in Sephardi Haggadot: Golden Haggadah, fol. 9r; BL, Or. 2884, 12r; Kaufmann Haggadah, p. 10; Castellazzo Bible.
Furnishing of the Torah shrine in the Synagogue of Dura Europos: theme of the temple, the sacrifice of Abraham, middle section repeatedly painted over. It deals with a messianic representation of the theophany with two Moses scenes to the left and right: the thorn bush and Mount Sinai.
Analogous theophany programmes appear in the Moses Basilica on Sinai, as well as in San Vitale, Ravenna, both from the 6th c.

Introduction to the main Jewish Festivals: in the Bible the three most important obligatory holy days Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot (festival of weeks) can be traced back to agricultural festivals: the first grain harvest, the first wheat harvest and thanksgiving festival.
In the Israelite context these three festivals were pilgrimage festivals to the temple in Jerusalem.
Later these festivals were linked to Biblical events. Passover: the exodus from Egypt; Shavuot: The presentation of the law; Sukkot: wandering through the desert.
The earliest recorded prayer books are those of Amram Gaon, 9th century, of Saadia Gaon of the 10th century and in the 11th century the Mahzor Vitry of Simcha ben Samuel, a student of Rashi, Mishneh Torah of Maimonides, 12th century.
Siddur: Statutory prayers
Mahzor: liturgical hymns (piyutim not obligatory); brief history of the tradition of piyut poetry and the most important poets. Most of the Mahzorim come in two volumes: Spring and Autumn.
In the 13th century a rich tradition of illuminated Mahzorim began in southern Germany. This tradition later moved on to Italy.
Special Shabbatot before Passover: Sheqalim (Contribution for the building of the Temple: Oxford – Michael Mahzor, Jerusalem – Worms Mahzor, Leipzig Mahzor); Zakhor (Amalekites: Oxford – Laud Mahzor); Purim (Story of Esther: Oxford – Laud Mahzor, Leipzig Mahzor); Para (The High Priest slaughters the red cow: Oxford – Laud Mahzor); Hodesh (New Moon before Passover: Oxford – Laud Mahzor, Leipzig Mahzor)
The So-Called Great Shabbat: the piyut ties in with the Song of Songs and the illustration shows the love of God for His people as demonstrated in the depiction of a couple (Laud Mahzor, Leipzig Mahzor, Hamburger Siddur – Levy 37). The image in the Hamburger Siddur shows the bride with veiled eyes, recalling the Christian representations of the Synagogue (Tournai Cathedral, approx. 1250).
Passover: brief background information on the Passover Haggadah, which is not part of the Mahzor. Some of the Passover topics belonging to the Mahzor are: the cleaning of the kitchen vessels, the preparation of the Mazot, the Egyptians’ persecution of the Israelites (Leipzig Mahzor, Darmstadt Mahzor); Zodiac Signs (some accompanied by labours of the month) as an illustration of the prayers for dew in spring and rain in autumn: Michael Mahzor, Worms Mahzor, Leizpig Mahzor
The Ashkenazi Passover Haggadot usually contain a richer programme of ritual scenes, such as the images from the Second Nurnberg Haggadah (London, Sofer Collection) and the closely related Yahuda Haggada (Israel Museum). Here one can see the Search for leaven, the preparation of Mazot, the recitation of ‘This is the Bread of Affliction’, the seder table, the questions of the youngest son, the four questioning sons (Parma Haggada), Jacob goes to Egypt, slavery (the Bird’s Head Haggadah), the plagues, the Exodus from Egypt, Rabban Gamliel, Matza, Maror, Afikoman, the new Jerusalem.
The illustration cycles of the medieval Passover Haggadot have four main points: ritual themes, themes relevant to the texts, biblical and eschatological themes
Shavuot: The presentation of the Law on Sinai (Laud Mahzor, Mahzor in three volumes) A lovely hind and a graceful doe (Mahzor Worms)
Autumn Holy Days, see the lecture: The Great Holy Days in the medieval Mahzorim Illustration https://phaidra.univie.ac.at/detail_object/o:472552
Hanukkah: Festival of Lights: Darmstadt Mahzor- High Priest lights the Menorah.
Further Information about the Festivals in Kurt Schubert: Religion des Judentums, p. 137-142.

The fragment of the unpublished work Jewish History as the Site of Jewish Identity by Professor Kurt Schubert consists of six completed chapters of the originally planned fourteen, the project having been cut short by his death in 2007. It deals with Jewish identity in Antiquity. Professor Kurt Schubert examines the rise of monotheism in Judaism and discusses various passages of the Tanach in this regard. In the following chapters his observations stretch from the Hellenistic period to the first century after Christ. There are also handwritten notes on each chapter, including those of the unfinished parts of the book.

Detailed discussion of the biblical prohibition to create images in its various historical contexts. Starting from the biblical prohibition the lecture discusses Jewish visual culture against the background of the biblical approach.
Representations already existed in the monuments built by Solomon (the lion sculptures, iron lake with 12 cattle)
Contact with the pagan surroundings after the Babylonian exile (587 BC) led to an increased interest in their visual culture
In the Roman empire the question becomes particularly acute (Caligula demands a placement of a statue of the emperor in the temple area; this order, in particular the Jewish reaction to it is documented by Josephus Flavius).
In the context of the Greek-Roman culture, the Rabbinic authorities are seen as hostile towards images, whereas the elders of the synagogue are sympathetic. Polemics since the 2nd century AD as can be seen in Mekhilta de R. Yishmael (Ex. 20:23); Abhoda zara 3:1. From the third century onwards Rabbis are faced with this situation. (R. Johanan bar Nappaha in Jer. Abhoda zara 3:3)
Idea of the In-Dwelling of God after the destruction of the temple to be found in the synagogues (Jer. Berakhot 5 8d, Bab. Megilla 29a): leads to the understanding that the Synagogue is no longer only a place to meet, but also a ‘holy space’ (inscriptions in Stobi, Tiberias, Gerasa and Na’aran).
Dura Europos: Introduction with detailed analysis of the founder’s inscription, from which it becomes clear that the ‘presbyter’ of the Jewish community, Samuel bar Yedaya commissioned for the murals.
Murals in the direct surroundings of the Torah shrine: temple topic; comparison with Tetradachma (Bar-Kokhba uprising, 132), Juxtaposition of the binding of Isaac, which according to Jewish tradition took place on the temple mountain (which can be equated with Mount Moriah). The central position of the temple theme is a clear indication of the understanding of the synagogue as a ‘holy place’.
Destroyed murals above the Torah shrine. During the excavations these were still visible. Three different layers of paintings in this field point to the fact that the design kept changing during the eleven years of the synagogue’s existence of the painted synagogue. The lowest level: Torah as the tree of life, middle layer: Messianic Ruler figure (based on Gen. 49, Jacob blesses the 12 tribes and Jacob blesses Josef’s sons). This programme appears in between two representations of the Theophany: Moses at the burning bush and Moses on Mount Sinai. These pictures, together with the compositions in the middle pannel result in a Theophany programme, of which there are similar versions in the presbytery of San Vitale in Ravenna and in the basilica of Saint Katharine on Sinai. Schubert assumes that this programme was conceived of in a Jewish context.
Iconography of the other walls reflects many midrashim: methodological debate with the influence of the midrashim on Jewish and Christian iconography (see above left).
This lecture is partly based on earlier works:
Christian-Jewish encounters in art (Eisenstadt) http://phaidra.univie.ac.at/detail_object/o:472218
Influence of Jewish painting on early Christian art http://phaidra.univie.ac.at/detail_object/o:472308
The Contribution of Jewish Studies to the Research of Early Christian Art (the significance of Jewish Sources for Early Christian Iconography).http://phaidra.univie.ac.at/detail_object/o:472342
the summary takes into account only the main extensions of topics discussed in other lectures.

The material for the book project Jewish History as the Site of Jewish Identity contains notes for all the envisaged chapters. The project could not be completed because of Professor Kurt Schubert’s death in 2007.
Beginning with Antiquity, the work would have also dealt with the Middle Ages, (i.e. Maimonides), Jewish art, as well as developments in the history of the modern era and present. The last chapter would have addressed the issue of Jewish identity in the period after the Second World War and the Shoah.
Additional, but not uploaded material, includes Ursula Schubert’s article: What is Jewish in Jewish Visual Arts?, Kairos, 27, 1985, p. 269-278, as well as two pages by Kurt Schubert: The Religion of post-Biblical Judaism, Vienna, Herder, 1955, p. 187 ff. and 199. There are also edited letters: David Friedländer to Meier Eger (30 March 1799, Berlin) and Moses Moser to Immanuel Wohlwill (May, 1824). The first completed chapter of the book project can be found here: http://phaidra.univie.ac.at/o:438718
