Beskrivning

Christian Hebraism came to its full fruition in the seventeenth century. However, interest in Jewish and Hebraic sources had already increased during the early Renaissance, as an integral part of the renewed attention to ancient cultures, mostly Greek and Roman, as well as eastern cultures – from Egypt to India. This volume presents a selection of papers from the international conference Hebraic Aspects of the Renaissance (University of Haifa, May, 2009), that trace the humanist encounter with Hebrew and Jewish sources during that period. The chapters included in this volume not only illuminate the ways in which Christian scholars encountered Hebraic sources and integrated them into their general worldview, but also present the encounters of Jewish scholars with humanist culture.

Recensioner i media

"This excellent volume presents papers from a conference at the University of Haifa (2009) and serves as a companion to the ground-breaking expanded horizons of Jewish Renaissance scholarship led by Moshe Idel,Robert Bonfil, and David Ruderman. It makes a positive contribution to the prior Baronian “anti-lachyrmose historiography” Renaissance scholarship of C. Roth, M. A. Shulvass, A. Milano, and A. Lesley." - Dr. David B. Levy, in: Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews Vol. 2, No. 1 (2012)
