Book Synopsis
Isaac Abarbanel (1437-1508) was a leading Jewish scholar as well as a courtier and financier to the kings of Portugal, Spain, and Italy. In this study, Lawee (humanities, New York U.) considers those writings in which Abarbanel deals with texts and teachings from the classical (biblical-rabbinic) and postrabbinic Jewish past. Focusing on Abarbanel's exegetical works, Lawee discusses the interactions between his religious outlook, theological concerns, interpretive activities, and literary aims.
