Hanna Zoe Trauer studied Jewish Studies and Philosophy at Freie Universität Berlin, specializing in Medieval Jewish philosophy from a transcultural perspective. Her MA thesis explored the transfer of Avicennian concepts into Hebrew. Her PhD dissertation examines theories of sleep, dreams, and imagination in two medieval Hebrew encyclopedias (“Das Wissen der Imagination. Schlaf, Traum und Vorstellungskraft in hebräischen Enzyklopädien des 13. Jahrhunderts (Shem Tov Ibn Falaquera’s Deʿot ha-Filosofim and Gershon ben Solomon’s Shaʿar ha-Shamayim)” Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, forthcoming).
Her research interests include the Arabic-to-Hebrew translation movement of the 12th–13th centuries, Arabic and Hebrew philosophy, the history of psychology, theories of dreams and imagination, and the intersections between philosophy and exegesis. She is currently working on two main projects: (1) a study of the manuscript and print traditions of Gershon ben Solomon’s Shaʿar ha-Shamayim, and (2) Jewish commentaries on the Song of Songs, focusing on the interplay between exegesis and the love discourses of their time.
