Programmheft
ToRoll: Materialized holiness is a collaborative research project to examine the production of ritually pure Torah scrolls as an extraordinary codicological, theological, and sociological phenomenon of Jewish scribal culture. The project includes the digital edition of selected scribe literature from antiquity until the
modern era, paleographical analyses of the letter crownlets and particular forms of lettering, analyses of the inks and the materials used for writing medieval Torah scrolls of European provenance, and qualitative interviews with contemporary scribes.
A primary objective of the project is to further integrate central research fields of Jewish Studies into the inter- and transdisciplinary research discourses, and to open them up for methodological approaches with the help of the Digital Humanities. For processing new research Questions, the project combines the academic expertise from Jewish Studies with the methods of material research, the social sciences, and art history, as well as with the future-oriented approaches of information technology.
