Présentation de l'éditeur
Israel aN ation appeared, for allowing me to reprint it in this volume. The Survey of Jewish Literature appears here in print for the first time. At the present time, inquiries into topics of history and literature proceed with enormous strides. The subjects dealt with in these volumes have naturally shared in the general progress. Thus Roger Bacon sG reek Grammar and Ms Fragment on Hebrew Grammar has seen the light, and theB ooks of theS ibylline Oracles have been subjected to further searching investigations since these essays were written, yet my views, as expressed here, have not undergone modifications to such an extent as to necessitate material alterations. The works of recent authors who have submitted these subjects to fresh inquiries are, however, mentioned in the notes under the text. The essays were written at some distance of time, and quite independently from each other. It happened, therefore, that in some cases certain points are treated in one essay which had already been touched upon in a former. Fortunately, this has been the case in only very few instances, and then the repetitions were so slight that no serious excisions were demanded. A few words in regard to the illustrations. The portrait of Roger Bacon that is to say, the picture with the letterpress under it is reproduced from a print belonging to theB ritish Museum.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves deep into the history of Hebrew studies among Christian scholars, beginning with the 13th-century English philosopher Roger Bacon, who pioneered the study of Hebrew in Christian Europe. The author argues that Bacon's advocacy for Hebrew as a key to unlocking the truths of science and religion laid the groundwork for the later Renaissance embrace of Hebrew scholarship. The book explores the challenges faced by early Hebraists, including the poor quality of translations and the resistance from those who saw Hebrew as an arcane and dangerous language. It sheds light on the intellectual climate of medieval Europe, where the pursuit of knowledge often clashed with religious dogma and superstition. Through a meticulous examination of primary sources, the author uncovers the significance of Hebrew studies in the development of Western thought and the broader cultural exchange between Christian and Jewish scholars. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330075241_0
