Language: English Table of ContentsReviewsFinalist for the 2012 Best First Book in the History of Religions Award, American Academy of Religion In this excellent monograph, Dweck situates Modena's literary activity in the polarity between print and manuscript, paying critical attention to the reading and writing practices informing these polemics... This is a meticulous work of scholarship, from its careful examination of ligatures in handwritten manuscripts to the nuanced ways in which Dweck outlines broader intellectual currents, such as early modern skepticism and the emergence of historical criticism. --Choice Dweck's meticulous and illuminating study has itself breathed new life into the Ari Nohem. It gives one reason to hope that it will finally become available in an English translation and that Yaacob Dweck will make the publication of such a volume one of his future projects. --Howard Tzvi Adelman, Jewish Review of Books Dweck is to be commended for a sophisticated and readable study that greatly enhances our knowledge of the relationship between mysticism and philosophy, and print and manuscript, in early modern Jewish culture. --Daniel Stein Kokin, Renaissance Quarterly Author InformationYaacob Dweck is assistant professor of history and Judaic studies at Princeton University.
