Salomon Munk (1803-1867) belonged to a group of German-Jewish
scholars who pioneered the systematic study of Arabic, Judeo-Arabic
and Islamic philosophy in Western Europe in the nineteenth century,
as part of a movement that came to be known as the Science of
Judaism. The Science of Judaism applied the tools of modern science
(in particular philology) to the study of Judaism, seeking to shed
light on its manifold aspects and historical contexts-an
undertaking which eventually led to the birth of Jewish studies as
an academic discipline. Munk's ground-breaking studies of Arabic
and Judeo-Arabic sources were to play a central role in this
process, exerting a major influence on nineteenth century German
and French Oriental studies as well as on modern philosophical
historiography, and paving the way for the scientific study of the
relationship between medieval Jewish, Islamic, and Christian
thought. This book is an attempt to restore this extraordinary
representative of German Jewry to the pantheon of the Science of
Judaism, and in the process, to illustrate the fascinating origins
of the academic field of Jewish and Islamic Studies.
