The intense interest in the Hebrew language during the Renaissance was based on more than linguistic consideration alone, but was part of a much larger religious and cultural framework. This volume is a collection of articles by European scholars on this subject, mostly French, in an attempt to look at many of the diverse aspects of Hebrew during the early modern period.
'...scholars interested in Christian Hebraism and Jewish studies will welcome the appearance of this new collection addressing an old problem.'
