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.

The Canonization of Tanach According to the Early Jewish Sources

Öz

Standardized text of theTanach, Jewish sacred book, is a result of process. Early Jewish sources contains different information about the content of the Tanach. The issue of the canonic text in Judaism was left out through centuries. By the 19th century, different views were put

forward about the date of canonization. Rabbinical discourses indicate that religious, sectarian and nationalist interests were dominantly taken into account in the process of canonization of a book. This article aims: to introduce the issues of standard text of the

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.
