Abstract

Yahudi  kutsal  kitabı  Tanah’ın  standart  metin  haline  getirilmesi  süreç  içerisinde  gerçekleşmiştir. Erken dönem Yahudi kaynaklarında Tanah’ın içeriğiyle ilgili farklı görüşler geçmektedir. Yahudilikte kanon meselesi asırlar boyunca tartışma konusu olmamıştır. XIX. yüzyıldan itibaren kanonizasyonun ne zaman gerçekleştiği konusunda farklı görüşler dile getirilmiştir. Bir kitabın kanonik  listeye  alınması  sırasında  rabbiler  tarafından  dile  getirilen  söylemlerde  dinî,  mezhepsel  ve asabiyetçi  kaygıların  hâkim  olduğu  görülmektedir.  Bu  çalışmanın  amacı  erken  dönem  Yahudi kaynaklarda  Tanah’ın  standart  metni  ve  rabbilerin  kanon  algısı  meselelerini  tanıtmak,  XIX -XX. yüzyıla ait kanonizasyonla ilgili görüşleri sunmaktır. Sonuç kısmında kanonizasyonla ilgili kanaatimiz beyan edilmiştir.

Tanach in early Jewish sources and rabbinic perception of canon, to give the views about the the Synod of Jamnia and cononization from 19-20th century and submitting a hypothesis about the Synod of Jamnia.
