| Sommario/riassunto: | The Ba'al Shem Tov is an elusive subject for historians because documentary evidence about his life is scanty and equivocal. Until now, much of what was known about him was based on stories compiled more than a generation after his death, many of which serve more to mythologize him than to describe him. The portrait that this work provides is drawn from life instead of from myth. The text goes further than any previous work in uncovering the historical Ba'al Shem Tov. |
