Course description
In this course, we will analyze selected texts in the medieval controversy between traditional Rabbinic Judaism (as represented in the works of Saadiah Gaon) and Karaite scriptural Judaism. We will concentrate on Psalms, Isaiah, the Pentateuch and other texts in which the inner tensions between the exegetical streams are most focused.
