OverviewLeading figures at the dawn of the sixteenth-century Reformation commonly faced the charge of ""judaizing"": 72 In His Name concerns the changing views of four such men starting with their kabbalistic treatment of the 72 divine names of angels. Johann Reuchlin, the first of the four men featured in this book,survived the charge; Martin Luther's increasingly anti-semitic stance is contrasted with the opposite movement of the French Franciscan Jean Thenaud whose kabbalistic manuscripts were devoted to Francis I; Philipp Wolff, the fourth, had been born into a Jewish family but his recorded views were decidedly anti-semitic. 72 In His Name also includes evidence that kabbalistic beliefs and practices, such as the service for exorcism recorded by Thenaud, were unwittingly recorded by Christians. Although the book concerns early modern Europe, the religious interactions, the shifting spiritual attitudes, and the shadows cast linger on.

Overview The Four Authors and the Seventy-Two Names—1522 Perspective Bibliography IndexReviewsBriefly, this work by Ian Christie-Miller has the great advantage of simply providing (often thanks to new technology, such as the use of QR Codes allowing direct access to remote images) a whole range of features which benefit the reader interested in the Shemhamphoras (to follow Thenaud's transcription) notably about distribution of the -el and -iah endings for example; an important point unappreciated by F. Secret in his translation of Reuchlin's treatise. -Francois Roudaut, Universite Paul-Valery (Montpellier III), Renaissance and Reformation (translated from French) Briefly, this work by Ian Christie-Miller has the great advantage of simply providing (often thanks to new technology, such as the use of QR Codes allowing direct access to remote images) a whole range of features which benefit the reader interested in the Shemhamphoras (to follow Thenaud's transcription) notably about distribution of the -el and -iah endings for example; an important point unappreciated by F.

His London PhD research into French sixteenth-century Kabbalism led to the invention of the Early Book Imaging System and to the development of digital imaging techniques as now used for revealing watermarks. It also lead to the publication of his Traict de la Cabale (Honor Champion, Paris, 2007), followed by a series of online and printed works mainly about sixteenth-century religious texts.
