This book is an annotated translation of the pioneering Hebrew work of Azariah de' Rossi, an outstanding figure in the history of Jewish scholarship. In this magnum opus, de' Rossi establishes the foundation of critical Jewish historiography with innovative studies on a wide array of subjects and arguments drawn from sources as diverse as the texts of rabbinic tradition and the writings of Augustine and Pico della Mirandola.Yale Judaica Series
