Johannes Reuchlin and the Campaign to Destroy Jewish Books
ISBN: 9780199974948 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The early sixteenth century saw a major crisis in Christian-Jewish relations: the attempt to confiscate and destroy every Jewish book in Germany.

In 1510, Reuchlin wrote an extensive, impassioned, and ultimately successful defense of Jewish writings and legal rights, a stunning intervention later acknowledged by a Jewish leader as a ''miracle within a miracle.'' The fury that...
