The research project "Transcribing Wisdom" aims at establishing and elaborating methodologies for scriptural hermeneutics embracing Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions. Subject of inquiry is the narrative of Joseph in its various and heterogeneous records from the Hebrew Bible up until Islamic times. New hermeneutical approaches to scripture, taking insights from cultural studies, shall supplement the diachronic perspective on the different figurations of Joseph in the variety of sources from the Old Testament, late antique commentary cultures and literary texts until the Quran and Islamic lore.The project suggests four hermeneutical approaches by which elements developed in cultural studies are introduced to the field of Quranic exegesis and interdisciplinary dialogue between the exegesis of Old Testament, New Testament and Quran is meant to be enriched.1. New light is shed on objects that play a crucial role in the different Joseph stories, such as the cup of the King, the garment, and the crops. Those objects are treated not as motives or literary elements, but as objects of knowledge, to which particular understandings of historicity and identity are attached that differ with the contexts of transmission and interpretation.2. Aspects of gender and power that figure prominently in most Joseph stories are to be analysed and compared in diachronic perspective and put into context.3. The method of „deep-psychological“ scriptural hermeneutics which is an established, if also controversially debated, exegetical tool in biblical studies, has not been introduced to Quranic studies at all. The Joseph story is a perfect point of departure for a comparative deep-psychological approach, because it reflects a process of individual transformation and individuation that stands out in the literatures of late antiquity. 4. A fourth approach consists in highlighting different figurations of the prophetic body and the notions of divine-human communication attached to it.By focussing on the diachronic development in the different trajectories, the project serves an exemplary function. It stresses reciprocal entanglements of supposedly distinct cultural and religious traditions and regions by showing continuity and participation in textual and exegetical practises from the contexts of Judaism, early Christianity and Islam.A heuristic concept was established to tie the different hermeutical case studies together. Key notions for better understanding and describing the continuity and diversity, the modes of adaption, repetition, negation and change of the Joseph stories in antiquity and late antiquity are: wisdom and transcription.

“抄写智慧”研究项目旨在建立和阐述涵盖犹太、基督教和伊斯兰传统的圣经解释学方法。调查的对象是从希伯来圣经到伊斯兰时代的各种不同记录中的约瑟的叙述。新的经文解释学方法，从文化研究中获得见解，将补充历时视角，从旧约、晚期古董注释文化和文学文本直到古兰经和伊斯兰圣典的各种来源中，对约瑟的不同比喻进行历时观察。该项目提出了四种解释学方法，通过这些方法，将文化研究中发展起来的元素引入古兰经注释领域，并在旧约、新约和古兰经的注释之间进行跨学科对话，意在丰富1.在不同的约瑟故事中扮演关键角色的物体，如国王的杯子、衣服和庄稼，都有了新的曙光。这些客体不被视为动机或文学元素，而是被视为知识的客体，对历史性和同一性的特殊理解与传播和解释的语境不同。在大多数约瑟夫故事中突出的性别和权力方面将从历时的角度进行分析和比较，并放在上下文中。“深层心理”的圣经解释学方法是圣经研究中的一种既定的，尽管也有争议的训释工具，但根本没有被引入到古兰经研究中。约瑟夫的故事是一个比较深刻的心理学方法的完美起点，因为它反映了一个在近古代文学中突出的个体转变和个性化的过程。4.第四种方法是突出先知身体的不同形象和与之相关的神与人交流的概念。通过关注不同轨迹的历时发展，该项目起到了示范作用。它强调不同的文化和宗教传统和地区的相互纠缠，通过展示犹太教、早期基督教和伊斯兰背景下的文本和注释实践的连续性和参与性，建立了一个启发式的概念，将不同的气息案例研究联系在一起。为了更好地理解和描述约瑟夫故事在古代和晚期的连续性和多样性，以及改编、重复、否定和变化的模式，关键概念是：智慧和转录。
