Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義は、中世ユダヤ教研究やユダヤ人の視点に立った西洋中世史研究など、国内の人文学においてかならずしも十分な蓄積がない分野の研究を進めたことである。また、その対象となる時代を中世に限定せず、中世に立脚しながら現代の宗教的な世界をとらえるための視座を提供しようとする点にも大きな意義がある。 また、社会的意義は、迫害史観をはじめとするイメージでとらえられがちなユダヤ人とキリスト教徒の歴史的な関係性を問いなおし、ユダヤ人たちがキリスト教徒の社会や文化に対抗しつつ共生していたという多様な側面を示したことである。
