A variety of concepts emerged in debates about metempsychosis: human to human reincarnation, human to vegetal, human to animal, and human to angelic transmigration. As a complex and changing doctrine, metempsychosis gives us a well-placed window for viewing the complex and dynamic contours of Jewish thought in late fifteenth century Italy; as such, it enables us to evaluate Jewish thought in relation to non-Jewish Italian developments. This book addresses the problematic question of the roles and achievements of Jews who lived in Italy in the development of Renaissance culture in its Jewish and its Christian dimensions.Studies in Jewish history and culture ;v. 24.TransmigrationJudaismReincarnationJudaismFuture lifeJudaismSoulJudaismCabalaRenaissanceItalyPhilosophy, MedievalJewish philosophyTransmigrationJudaism.ReincarnationJudaism.Future lifeJudaism.SoulJudaism.Cabala.RenaissancePhilosophy, Medieval.Jewish philosophy.296.3/3Ogren Brian1601638MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810183103321Renaissance and rebirth3925296UNINA
