The European Research Council has awarded funding to 2 humanities projects. The projects on the history of Ethiopian and Syrian Christianity and Hebrew philosophical manuscripts respectively will receive a total of €3.5 million over the next 5 years. Dr. Yoav Meyrav from the Mainmonides Centre for Advanced Studies at Universität Hamburg has received a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) in the amount of about €1.5 million for HEPMASITE: Hebrew Philosophical Manuscripts as Sites of Engagement. At the Asien-Afrika-Institut, Dr. Aaron Butts will receive the Consolidator Grant of roughly €2 million for his project BeInf: Beyond Influence: The Connected Histories of Ethiopic and Syriac Christianity. Dr. Yoah Meyrav will study highly varied Medieval philosophical manuscripts in Hebrew, which often include scholarly corrections, notes, marginalia, comparisons, and observations. HEPMASITE is the first project dealing with this scientific corpus with the aim of decoding the hidden history of Jewish philosophy.
