In this eloquent collection, six leading scholars of Italian Jewish history reveal the important role of these preachers: men who served as a bridge between the ghetto and the Christian world outside, between old and new conventions, and between elite and popular modes of thought. The story of how they reflected and shaped the culture of their listeners, who felt the pressure of cramped urban life as well as of political, economic, and religious persecution, is finally beginning to be told. Through the words of the Italian ghetto preachers, we discover a richly textured panorama of Jewish life more than 400 years ago. 606 $aJewish preaching$zItaly$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aJewish preaching$zItaly$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aJudaism$zItaly$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aJudaism$zItaly$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aJewish sermons$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRabbis$zItaly$vBiography 606 $aRabbis$xBiography 615 0$aJewish preaching$xHistory 615 0$aJewish preaching$xHistory 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aJewish sermons$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRabbis 615 0$aRabbis$xBiography 676 $a296.4/2/094509031 701 $aRuderman$b David B$0475931 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910496148303321 996 $aPreachers of the Italian ghetto$92787260 997 $aUNINA
