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.'
