Secret Conversions to Judaism in Early Modern Europe de Martin Mulsow

Secret Conversions to Judaism in Early Modern Europe: Brill's Studies in Intellectual History, cartea 122

Editat de Martin Mulsow, Richard H. Popkin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 noi 2003
This volume deals with conversions to Judaism from the 16th to the 18th century. It provides six case studies by leading international scholars on phenomena as crypto-Judaism, "judaizing", reversion of Jewish-Christian converts and secret conversion of non-Jewish Christians for intellectual reasons. The first contributions examine George Buchanan and John Dury, followed by three studies of the milieu of late seventeenth-century Amsterdam. The last essay is concerned with Lord George Gordon and Cabbalistic Freemasonry. The contributions will be of interest for intellectual historians, but also historians of political thought or Jewish studies.

Contributors include: Elisheva Carlebach, Allison P. Coudert, Martin Mulsow, Richard H. Popkin, Marsha Keith Schuchard, and Arthur Williamson.

Recenzii

"...very good indeed, [...] make important contributions to our knowledge about religious boundary crossing in early modern Europe (and, more particularly, about the positve reevaluation of Judaism among some radical Christians). The editors of the volume have chosen to draw the reader in by highlighting the apparent historic impoobability of conversion to Judaism in early modern Europe. But the reader will come away from the book reassured that this "improbability", like most other things seen in context, was not improbable at all - at least on a small scale."
Miriam Bodian, Renaissance Quarterly.
