Hebrew Philosophical Manuscripts as Sites of Engagement

HEPMASITE (Hebrew Philosophical Manuscripts as Sites of Engagement) is a five-year ERC research project (2022–2027) led by Dr. Yoav Meyrav at the Institute for Jewish Studies at the University of Hamburg.

HEPMASITE tackles the corpus of medieval Hebrew philosophical manuscripts in order to unravel the hidden history of Jewish philosophy enveloped within them. It aims to reconceptualise the understanding of Jewish philosophy as it took place in the real world and as it was studied by actual people.

This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement no. 101041376).
