The team, led by Dr. Moshe Lavee at the University of Haifa, will incorporate data and results from the project into a digital atlas for spatial and chronological exploration. With the Atlas, we will be able to map and visualize diverse types of knowledge, including the chronology of manuscripts, writing styles, and the spread of works and traditions over time and space. In addition, the team will draw on the results of other teams in the project to study the reception of midrashic works and traditions as reflected in medieval midrashic anthologies. With the extensive transcriptions of both published and unpublished texts, we will be able to examine the rabbinic sources used by the various anthologies and the intellectual connections between various Jewish geo-cultural milieus in the formative period of Midrashic Literature.
