Overview

Spanish scholarship on Second Temple Judaism, Christian, Rabbinic, and Islamic origins includes contributions such as Alejandro Díez Macho's editio princeps of Targum Neophyti 1 and Florentino García Martínez's translations of, and studies on, the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The beginnings: from the mid-15th to the mid-20th century

In 1478, Daniel Vives published a Catalan translation of the Bible which stands as the third known printed translation of the Bible in a modern language, after the German edition by Johannes Mentelin in 1466, and the Italian edition by Niccolò Malermi in 1471. It was also based upon the Latin text of the Vulgata. There followed Juan Martín Cordero’s Spanish translation of Josephus’ Jewish War, which was published in the 1550s; Benito Arias Montano’s (perhaps the first relevant Spanish Hebraist) Antewerp Polyglot or Biblia regia, which was in turn published between 1568 and 1573 and the first to include, alongside the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin versions of the Bible, the Syriac New Testament and several additional Targumic texts; Arias Montano’s Spanish translation of Josephus’ Antiquities of the Jews, which was published in the 1570s; an edition of Paul’s epistles with commentary by Francisco de Ribera and José de Acosta published in the 1590s; and Joseph Semah Arias’s translation of Josephus’ Contra Apionem in the 1680s. Yet no significant volumes were produced between the late 17th and the mid-20th century.

Looking back at the 20th century: chief developments and achievements from the 1950s to the 1990s

Spanish research on Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins was virtually inexistent, and hence absent from the international scholarly scene, until the 1950s. Nor had there been prior to that time a sustained editorial policy regarding the Spanish edition of studies originally published in other European languages. Antonio González Lamadrid’s 1956 volume on the Dead Sea discoveries and the Spanish edition in the late 1940s of the second volume of Giuseppe Ricciotti’s Storia d’Israele (which was curiously made possible through the efforts of Xavier Zubiri, a very influent Spanish philosopher who had studied in his youth with Husserl and Heidegger) must be by and large considered, therefore, as the point of departure of this particular field of study in contemporary Spain.

Spanish scholarship has since mainly focused upon five general topics: (a) the Dead Sea Scrolls, (b) the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, (c) the Greek versions of the Bible (including the Septuagint), (d) the Targum, and (e) Christian Origins.

Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls were broadly explored, especially in the 1990s. One should mention here, amidst other works, Jesús Cantera Ortiz de Urbina’s Spanish translation of the Habakuk Pesher from Qumran; the studies on the Greek papyri from Qumran Cave 7 by José O’Callaghan Martínez, whose suggestions concerning the possible presence of some New Testament fragments amongst the Qumran scrolls have been widely disputed on both philological and statistic grounds; Luis Vegas Montaner’s critical edition of the Minor Prophets according to the Qumran textual witnesses; José María Casciaro Rodríguez’s comparative essays on the Qumran literature and the New Testament; Santiago Ausín Olmos’ studies on the ethical language of the sectarian writings from the Qumran community; the proceedings of the Madrid Qumran Congress, which was organised in 1991 by Luis Vegas Montaner and Julio Trebolle Barrera; Jaime Vázquez Allegue’s studies on the Rule of the Community. Yet the foremost contribution to the study of the Qumran Yahad and its literature was made by Florentino García Martínez, who, as Gabriele Boccaccini rightly observes, has helped contemporary research on late Second Temple sectarianism to move “out of Josephus precious yet so cumbersome testimony”, and whose well-known hypothesis on the intra-Essene schismatic origins of the Qumran Yahad, first made public in English in 1988, was already suggested by him in a Spanish as early as 1985.

In the early 1980s, Alejandro Díez Macho began to prepare a collective Spanish translation of the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha of which six out of the seven planed volumes have been already published. Díez Macho was deeply influenced by the work of Paolo Sacchi, on whose views he often relied. This notwithstanding, his general introduction to the Spanish edition of the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha (vol. 1) deserves being mentioned as perhaps the most insightful Spanish contribution to their modern study ever published. He worked in close collaboration with María Ángeles Navarro, Alfonso de la Fuente, Miguel Pérez Fernández, and Antonio Piñero Sáenz, who codirected the first four volumes of the collection and has been responsible of the edition of its two last published volumes.

A few studies on the Septuagint and the Greek versions of the Bible were also published in the 1970s and the 1990s, both in Spanish and English, by Natalio Fernández Marcos and Ángel Sáenz-Badillos Pérez.

As for the Targum, mention must be made of Alejandro Díez Macho's editio princeps and Spanish translation of Targum Neophyti 1, whose sole extant manuscript he had discovered in 1956 at the Vatican Library. This very remarkable contribution to the study of the Jewish literature from the 1st century CE appeared in 6 vols. between 1968 and 1979, with appended French and English translations by Roger le Déaut, Martin McNamara and Michael Maher, complementary studies by Emiliano Martínez Borobio, Pedro Esterlich and Miguel Pérez Fernández, and a comprehensive Index by Etan Levine. Additional studies on, and translations of, various other targumim were produced in the 1970s, the 1980s and the 1990s by Emiliano Martínez Borobio, Domingo Muñoz León, Miguel Pérez Fernández, and Josep Ribera Florit. These scholars worked initially under the guidance of Diez Macho, who is credited to have laid the foundation of the Spanish school of Targumic studies and whose work ought to be regarded, together with Florentino García Martínez’s, as the most outstanding Spanish contribution to the study of the Second Temple period and its literature.

-The only Spanish book published in the 1910s was Julio Domingo Bazán’s liberal defense of the Hebrews. Like Joseph Semah Arias, who in 1687 had published a Spanish translation of Josephus’ Jewish War, Bazán was a military man who only very indirectly addressed in his book several topics inherent to the history of the Second Temple period. -- Carlos A.

-In the 1980s Spanish scholarship on [[Second Temple Judaism]] increased considerably if compared to the earlier decades. Twenty-seven new volumes were published, including editions of books written in other European languages; and an unprecedented assortment of themes were explored in them.
-[[Qumran]] and the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]] deserved a good deal of attention through the entire decade, though not as much as in the 1990s. Books by [[Luis Vegas Montaner]] on the [[Qumran]] Biblical scrolls and [[José María Casciaro Rodríguez (1924-2004), scholar|José María Casciaro Rodríguez]] on the Qumranic literature and the [[New Testament]] were published in 1980 and 1982, respectively. In 1982 [[Mathias Delcor]]’s and [[Florentino García Martínez]]’s introduction to the [[Essene]] literature from [[Qumran]] was also published. And in 1985 a new, updated edition of [[Antonio González Lamadrid]]'s ''Los manuscritos del mar Muerto'' (first published in 1971) saw the light too. In addition, in 1987 and 1989, respectively, [[Geza Vermès]]’s ''The Dead Sea Scrolls: Qumran in Perspective'' and [[Carsten Peter Thiede]]’s 1986 study on the hypothetical Markan fragments from Qumran Cave 7 identified by [[José O'Callaghan Martínez]] in 1972 were published as well.
+==General Statistics==
-Spanish scholarly production on the [[Targum]] was quite relevant too in the 1980s, with studies and translations by [[Miguel Pérez Fernández]] (1981), [[Domingo Muñoz León]] (1986, 1987), [[Josep Ribera Florit]] (1987, 1988), and [[Emiliano Martínez Borobio]] (1987, 1989). In his 1987 critically acclaimed book, Muñoz León (who had already written on Targumic literature in the late 1970s) also addressed several issues related to the interpretation of the Scriptures in the [[New Testament]].
+*See [[Spanish Scholarship (stats)]]
-In the 1980s [[Natalio Fernández Marcos]] continued working on the Greek versions of the Bible and published in 1985 an edited volume on the Septuagint. In 1987, [[María Victoria Spottorno Díaz-Caro]] and [[José Ramón Busto Sáiz (1950-), scholar|José Ramón Busto Sáiz]] translated into Spanish [[Josephus]]' ''[[Autobiography]]'' and ''[[Contra Apionem]]''. A year later, [[Josep Montserrat Torrents (1932-), scholar|Josep Montserrat Torrents]] translated into Catalan [[Philo]]'s ''[[De Opificio Mundi]]'', whilst the influence of [[Philo]] in the Western culture was the subject of an essay by [[José Pablo Martín]] published in Buenos Aires in 1986. [[Jean Cazeaux]]’s 1983 study on Philo’s philosophy of language and mysticism was in turn translated into Spanish and published in 1984.
+==Leading Spanish institutions of higher education, centres for scholarly research, scholarly projects, learned societies, publishers, academic journals, and libriries in the field==
-The time of Jesus, the historical Jesus, the Jewish roots of [[Christianity]], the theology of Paul, and the parting of the ways between Judaism and [[Christianity]] were thoroughly explored in the 1980s by [[Rafael Aguirre Monasterio (1941-), scholar|Rafael Aguirre Monasterio]], [[Juan Huarte Osacar]], [[José Ignacio González Faus]], [[Hernando Guevara]], [[Marcelino Legido López]], [[Jesús Emilio Menéndez Menéndez]], [[Emilio Mitre Fernández]], [[Josep Montserrat Torrents (1932-), scholar|Josep Montserrat Torrents]], [[José Antonio Pagola (1937-), scholar|José Antonio Pagola]], [[Xabier Pikaza]], and [[Senén Vidal García]]. And many books dealing with these and other related subjects (including the New Testament corpus) by [[Joseph Auneau]], [[Giuseppe Barbaglio]], [[Gerhard Barth]], [[Günter Bornkamm]], [[Raymond E. Brown]], [[Amédée Brunot]], [[Lothar Coenen]], [[Martin Dibelius]], [[John Drane]], [[Rinaldo Fabris]], [[Joseph A. Fitzmyer]], [[Joachim Gnilka]], [[Martin Hengel]], [[Joachim Jeremias]], [[Joseph Klausner]], [[Helmut Köster]], [[Xavier Léon-Dufour]], [[Gerhard Lohfink]], [[Wayne A. Meeks]], [[Charles Perrot]], [[Rudolf Schnackenburg]], [[Wolfgang Schrage]], [[Emil Schürer]], [[Heinz Schürmann]], [[Eduard Schweizer]], [[Gerd Theissen]], [[Albert Vanhoye]], and [[Ulrich Wilckens]], were also translated into Spanish.
+====Institutions of higher education====
-Moreover, [[Hugues Cousin]]'s ''Vies d'Adam et Eve, des patriarches et des prophètes'', [[François Castel]]’s 1983 general history of Israel and Judah, [[Henry Cazelles]]’ 1982 historical overview of the early Second Temple period, [[Christiane Saulnier]]'s 1982 monograph on the Maccabean crisis, and [[Claude Tassin]]’s 1986 history of Second Temple Judaism were also translated into Spanish and published between 1981 and 1988.

-Yet perhaps the most relevant events were, on the one hand, [[Carlos de Valle Rodríguez]]'s Spanish edition of the [[Mishnah]], and, on the other hand, [[Alejandro Díez Macho]]’s and [[Antonio Piñero Sáenz]]’s edition of the [[Old Testament Pseudepigrapha]] in Spanish version, of which vols. 1-4 appeared in 1984 and vol. 5 in 1987; vol. 6 was published in 2009, and a 7th vol. is forthcoming. Contributors were recruited by the editors among Spanish scholars on Biblical and Targumic literature and Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Coptic and Arabic studies. A volume on intertestamental literature published by [[Domingo Muñoz León]] in 1983 must also be mentioned here, as well as a noteworthy study on the historical method of Flavius [[Josephus]] published in English by [[Pere Villalba i Varneda (1938-), scholar|Pere Villalba i Varneda]] in 1986.

+*[http://www.ilc.csic.es Instituto de Lenguas y Culturas del Mediterráneo y Oriente Próximo (ILC)], Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Madrid
-The 1990s might be roughly defined as the “Qumran decade” in Spanish scholarship on Second Temple Judaism, in so far as ten volumes on the Dead Sea Scrolls were published in Spanish language between 1991 and 1996, including Florentino García Martínez’s 1992 Spanish edition of the significant manuscripts then available, which was translated into English, Dutch, Portuguese and Italian in 1994, 1994-95, 1995 and 1996, respectively. In 1991 Santiago Ausín Olmos published a philological study on the ethical language of the sectarian writings from Qumran. There followed César Vidal Manzanares’ three consecutive, introductory essays on the Qumran community and its literature (1993, 1995); Florentino García Martínez’s and Julio Trebolle Barrera’s study on the men from Qumran (1993), which was translated into English and Italian in 1995 and 1996, respectively; and two edited volumes by Antonio Piñero Sáenz and Dimas Fernández Galiano (1994) and Julio Trebolle Barrera (1999), who had earlier published with Luis Vegas Montaner the proceedings of the Madrid Qumran Congress (1992). In addition, the Spanish translation of Jean Pouilly’s 1990 introduction to the Scrolls and Stegemann’s 1993 study on the Essenes, Qumran, John the Baptist and Jesus (which was translated into English in 1998), were published in 1991 and 1996, respectively.
+====Scholarly projects and research seminars====
-Other themes studied were illness and health care in the ancient Near East and the rise of Christianity (by Héctor Avalos [1995, 1999]), the history of Messianic ideas in ancient Judaism and emerging Christianity (by José Luis Sicre Díaz [1995]), the development of intertestamental literature (by Gonzalo Aranda Pérez, Florentino García Martínez and Miguel Pérez Fernández [1996]), and Ben Sira (by Nuria Calduch-Benages [1997, 1998, 1999]). Several volumes on the study of the historical Jesus, the New Testament, and both the Jewish roots and the development of earliest Christianity, were also published in this decade by Rafael Aguirre Monasterio, María Ángeles Alonso Ávila, Juan José Bartolomé, Carmen Bernabé Urbieta, Aurelio de Santos Otero, Joaquín González Echegaray, Santigo Guijarro Oporto, Xabier Pikaza, Antonio Piñero Sáenz, Antonio Rodríguez Carmona, Ramón Trevijano Etcheverría, Jordi Sánchez Bosch, Juan Luis Segundo, Senén Vidal García, and César Vidal Manzanares.

-A series of relevant translations of ancient texts into Spanish language also took place in the 1990s. Several Targumim were translated by Josep Ribera Florit (1992, 1997) and Emiliano Martínez Borobio (1998); Philo’s De somniis and De Josepho by Sofía Torallas Tovar (1997); Josephus’ Autobiography and Against Apion by Margarita Rodríguez de Sepúlveda; Josephus' Jewish War by Jesús María Nieto Ibáñez (1997, 1999); and the Latin version of 4 Ezra by Gabriel Marcelo Nápole (1998).
+====Learned societies====
-As earlier said, both Florentino García Martínez's Spanish edition of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Florentino García Martínez’s and Julio Trebolle Barrera's book on the Qumran community were translated into several European languages (including English) between 1994 and 1996. No other books dealing with the study of the Second Temple period originally published in Spanish had been translated into other languages prior to that date. Moreover, Florentino García Martínez published in 1992 a most remarkable study in English language on Qumran and apocalyptic; he also co-edited two collective volumes on the Bible and the Scrolls (together with Anthony Hilshort and Casper J. Labuschagne, Moshe J. Bernstein and John Kampen, and Ed Noort) in 1992, 1997 and 1998, respectively, and a volume on the Noah traditions (together with Gerard P. Luttikhuizen) in 1998; as well as a complete bibliography of the Dead Sea Scrolls covering the years 1970-1975 (together with Donald W. Parry) in 1997, The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition (together with Eibert J. C. Tigchelaar) between 1997 and 1998, and vol. XXIII of the Discoveries in the Judean Desert (DJD) series (with Eibert J. C. Tigchelaar and Adam S. van der Woude) in 1998. Meanwhile, Natalio Fernández Marcos published in 1994 an Engish volume on the Septuagint and Old Latin versions of the Books of Kings, and Adolfo Roitman a Hebrew introduction to the daily life of the Qumran sectarians in 1997. In addition, Gonzálo Aranda Perez's, Florentino García Martínez's and Miguel Pérez Fernández's study on intertestamental literature was translated into Italian in 1998. The aforementioned volumes by Héctor Avalos should also be taken into account at this point.

-As to the Spanish edition of contemporary studies, one must mention Johann Maier’s Zwishen den Testamenten: Geschichte und Religion in der Zeit des zweiten Tempels, Walter Schmithals' Die Apokalyptik, and a rather large number of volumes dealing with the study of the historical Jesus and early Christianity which include several studies by Paul J. Achtemeier, Horst Balz, François Bovon, Raymond E. Brown, Matthieu Collin, Oscar Cullmann, Rinaldo Fabris, David Flusser, Joachim Gnilka, Dieter Hildebrandt, Pierre Lenhardt, Ulrich Luz, Margaret Y. MacDonald, Bruce J. Malina, John P. Meier, Annette Merz, Romano Penna, Heinrich Schlier, Jacques Schlosser, Gerhard Schneider, Eduard Schweizer, Graham Stanton, Peter Stuhlmacher, Gerd Theissen, Marie Vidal, Phillip Vielhauer, and Ulrich Wilckens.

-==Spanish Scholarship in the 2000s==
-Leaving aside Jaime Vázquez Allegue’s works on the Rule of the Community and the literature from Qumran (2000, 2004, 2006), as well as Francisco Jiménez Bedman’s study on the Copper Scroll (2002), Pedro Zamora García's essay on the Qoheleth in light of the Hebrew Bible, Sirach and Qumran (2002), Adolfo Roitman's introduction to the daily life of the Qumran sectarians (which was translated into Spanish in 2000), and the several volumes published in English by Roitman himself (2003 [with Shulamith Laderman], 2006) and by Florentino García Martínez (2000 [with Daniel K. Falk and Eileen M. Schuller], 2003, 2007, and 2008 [with Mladen Popović]), it must be acknowledged that Spanish scholarly production on the Dead Sea Scrolls decreased in the 2000s. The aforementioned works and the Spanish edition of both Hershel Shanks’ Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls (2005) and André Paul’s La Bible avant la Bible (2007) are the exception to this rule, which applies also to the other traditional key field of research in the Spanish-speaking world: the Targum; in fact, only two books, one by Josep Ribera Florit on the Targum of Ezekiel (2004) and the other one by Teresa Martínez Sáiz and Miguel Pérez Fernández on the Targumim to the Pentateuch (2004), were published on this subject in the 2000s.

+====Academic journals====
-Attention was also paid by Spanish scholars and editors to other various topics such as Jewish apocalypticism (on which Ignacio Gómez de Liaño and Antonio Piñero Sáenz wrote in 2000 and 2007, respectively), Ben Sira (on which Nuria Calduch-Benages published an essay in Italian in 2001 and offered with Joan Ferrer and Jan Liesen a Spanish and English translation of its Syriac version in 2003), Biblical and Parabiblical literature (on which Miren Junkal Guevara Llaguno published an essay in 2006), Jewish literature in Greek language during the late Second Temple period (on which Antonio Piñero Sáenz wrote in 2006), the House of Herod (on which Joaquín González Echegaray published an economic and socio-political study in 2007) and the intertwining of theology, economy and politics in the Ecclesiastes (on which Pedro Zamora García produced a new monograph in 2007). Natalio Fernández Marcos’ and María Victoria Spottorno Díaz-Caro’s 2008 Spanish edition of the LXX text of the Pentateuch (to which further volumes on the Septuagint will follow) and the first volume of José Pablo Martín’s new Spanish edition of Philo’s works (2009-) deserve being mentioned as well, together with vols. 3 and 6 of Alejandro Díez Macho’s and Antonio Piñero Sáenz’s collection of Old Testament Pseudepigrapha in Spanish (2002, 2009), and Francisco García Bazán's study on the jewish roots of Gnosticism and on the contribution of the latter to the early Christian faith as well as to Christian philosophy (2009). Finally, it should also be noted that Florentino García Martínez co-edited three collective volumes in English on ancient cultural interaction in Jerusalem, Alexandria and Rome (with Gerard P. Luttikhuizen), on the Septuagint and Ezekiel (with Marc Vervenne), and on Qumran and the New Testament, in 2003, 2005, and 2009, respectively; whereas Héctor Avalos coauthored in 2007 (with Sarah J. Melcher and Jeremy Schipper an English volume on medical Biblical studies.

-Especial mention must be made, to end with, of a series of relevant studies on the history of the Second Temple translated into Spanish in the 2000s, beginning with Paolo Sacchi’s Storia del Secondo Tempio, the Spanish edition of which was published in 2004 (partly after its English edition). There followed the Spanish editions of both Morton Smith’s Palestinian Parties and Politics that Shaped the Old Testament (2007) and Claude Tassin’s 2006 and 2008 consecutive studies on the mid- and late Second Temple period (2007, 2009).
