While remaining faithful to the beliefs, behaviors, and language of their tradition, Italian Jews proved themselves open to a rapidly evolving world of great richness. The crisis of Aristotelianism (which progressively touched upon all fields of knowledge), religious fractures and unrest, the scientific revolution, and the new perception of reality expressed through a transformation of the visual arts: these are some of the changes experienced by Italian Jews which they were affected by in their own particular way. This book explores the complex relations between Jews and the world that surrounded them during a critical period of European civilization. The relations were rich, problematic, and in some cases strained, alternating between opposition and dialogue, osmosis and distinction. 410 0$aPerspectives in Jewish intellectual life. 606 $aJews$zItaly$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aJews$zItaly$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aJews$zItaly$xIntellectual life$y16th century 606 $aJews$zItaly$xIntellectual life$y17th century 606 $aJewish learning and scholarship$zItaly$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aJewish learning and scholarship$zItaly$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life 615 0$aJewish learning and scholarship$xHistory 615 0$aJewish learning and scholarship$xHistory 676 $a305.892404509024 700 $aGuetta$b Alessandro$0909407 702 $aGrave$b Ivan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153563103321 996 $aItalian Jewry in the early modern era$92034512 997 $aUNINA
