Gregg Stern

Philosophy and Rabbinic Culture

Jewish Interpretation and Controversy in Medieval Languedoc

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a study of the great, and curiously underappreciated, engagement of a medieval European Jewish community with the philosophic tradition. The lucid description of southern French Jewry's multigenerational cultivation of - and acculturation to - scientific and philosophic teachings fulfills a major desideratum in Jewish cultural history.
