Reviews

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, Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews (2012) Vol. 2, No. 1
