Philosophy and Rabbinic Culture: Jewish Interpretation and Controversy in Medieval Languedoc - Routledge Jewish Studies Series
Stern, Gregg (University of Massachussets, USA)
This is a study of the great, and curiously underappreciated, engagement of a medieval European Jewish community with the philosophic tradition. The lucid description of southern French Jewry's multigenerational cultivation of - and acculturation to - scientific and philosophic teachings fulfills a major desideratum in Jewish cultural history.
