Recensione:

Masterly work . . . By means of a probing and thorough examination of archival material and both manuscript and printed sources, he has revealed the full complexities of this institution which brooks no simple generalization . . . undoubtedly a major study on the rabbinate. His controversial stand on many issues related to the Italian Renaissance has and will continue to stimulate fertile discussion.' --Joanna Weinberg, Journal of Semitic Studies

Comprehensive and exhaustive . . . Bonfil s great proficiency in Hebrew and Italian sources, as well as his careful analysis and scholarly precision make for a penetrating study and discussion. This is a well balanced representation of social and intellectual history, motivated by internal developments while giving due recognition to the contribution of outside influences upon the cultural and communal life of Italian Jewry. --Moshe Idel, Immanuel

The Jerusalem volume by Robert Bonfil has already told us much that we did not know about the Italian rabbis of the Renaissance. --Arnaldo Momigliano, New York Review of Books
