Reviews

The Marrakesh Dialogues has been mentioned only rarely in the scholarly literature, and Wilke's edition and extended discussion constitute the first attempt at editing the text based upon all the textual evidence, placing it into its historical context, identifying the author and the dramatis personae of the text, analysing the treatise's contents, and presenting it to a wide audience. He is successful because of his broad knowledge of the political and religious trends in early modern Europe, coupled with close familiarity with converso life and literature. -Daniel L. Lasker (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev), Journal of Jewish Studies Vol. LXVII No. 2, pp. 428-35
