[EAN: 9789004164840], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [SC: 33.06], [PU: Brill, Leiden], POLISH RABBIS, EPHRAIM SOLOMON BEN AARON, OF LUNTSHITS, 1550-1619. ISSERLES, MOSES ISRAEL, APPROXIMATELY 1525-1572. JAFFE, MORDECAI ABRAHAM, 1535-1612. LUNÁ SHITS, SHELOMOH EFRAYIM., Octavo. xvi, 449, (1)pp. Index. Text in English with occasional Hebrew interpolations. Light green over purple boards (spine sun faded to light blue, but still a fine, as new copy). This work advances the scholarly study of 16th-century Polish-Jewish culture, the Polish Jewish Renaissance, the philosophical interests of Ashkenazic Jewry, Jewish responses to Renaissance humanism and the Reformation, and the early-modern background for the 18th-century Jewish Enlightenment. (Publisher) This is an integrated study of the revival of philosophical studies in 16th-century central-European Jewry focusing on seven major thinkers and especially on the intellectual development of Ephraim Luntshitz (1550-1619). Preoccupation with philosophy is traced through Moses Isserles, Solomon Luria, Mordecai Jaffe, Abraham Horowitz, Eliezer Ashkenazi, Maharal of Prague, and Ephraim Luntshitz. Analysis of these thinkers' intellectual affiliations is based on close analysis of their primary texts, of which a generous selection is provided in translation for the first time. (Publisher) Contents: Circles of influence: Polish Jewish thought in the age of the late Renaissance -- The first wave (1550-1580) : Isserles, Jaffe, and Horowitz -- Young Ephraim: Ephraim's early outlook as expressed in City of Heroes -- The debate between Eliezer and Maharal -- Ephraim discovers philosophy -- The quest of reason: the outlook of the Precious Ornament (part 1) -- Return to origins: the outlook of the Precious Ornament (part 2) -- Conclusion.
