Ogren?s book is the very first to seriously juxtapose the thought of the great Jewish thinker Yohanan Alemanno, Alemanno?s famed Christian interlocutor, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, the important Iberian exegete active in Italy, Isaac Abravanel, and Abravanel?s renowned philosopher son Judah, known as Leone Ebreo. By bringing these thinkers together, this book presents a new understanding of early modern uses of Jewish texts and hermeneutics. Ogren successfully demonstrates that the syntheses of philosophy and Kabbalah carried out by these four intellectuals in their quests to understand the beginning itself marked a new beginning in Western thought, characterized by simultaneous continuity and rupture. 410 0$aSupplements to The Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy$v27. 606 $aCreation$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aJewish philosophy$zItaly$xHistory$y15th century 606 $aJewish philosophy$zItaly$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aCabala$zItaly$xHistory$y15th century 606 $aCabala$zItaly$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aCreation in rabbinical literature 615 0$aCreation 615 0$aJewish philosophy$xHistory 615 0$aJewish philosophy$xHistory 615 0$aCabala$xHistory 615 0$aCabala$xHistory 615 0$aCreation in rabbinical literature. 676 $a296.09450903 700 $aOgren$b Brian$01520560 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798409903321 996 $aThe beginning of the world in Renaissance Jewish thought$93759195 997 $aUNINA
