Florence Under Siege
There have been a number of books and articles over the past several years that have explored plague in the early modern world. These works have been quite timely, given the outbreak of a global pandemic, and quite exciting—identifying and examining new sources and offering powerful new insights drawn from and encompassing a broad range of academic disciplines, including history, art, literature and demography. The most recent book by John Hender…
Life in a Time of Pestilence
James Bernauer, S.J., Jesuit Kaddish
This deeply reflective book is part memoir, part historical inquiry, and part theological exploration.It is broadly about the Holocaust and the Jesuits, charting both shortcomings as well as successes in the Jesuit order and among individual Jesuits (especially the fifteen cited as Righteous among the Nations by Yad Vashem) when it comes to Jews, Judaism, and the Holocaust.As such, James Bernauer's approach leads to some valuable and inspiring st…

Martin Luther and the Jews
The subject of the Jews and Judaism was central to much of Martin Luther’s writings and thought. While important for and informed by his own developing theology, Luther’s treatment of the Jews and Judaism also drew from a well of religious and historical sources and must be placed into several contexts. On the 500th anniversary of Luther’s 95 Theses, this article provides an overview and explores the complexities of Luther’s attitudes towards Jew…
Jews and Magic in Medici Florence
In this outstanding new book, Edward Goldberg examines a wide range of archival materials to offer a nuanced view of Jews and magic in seventeenth-century Florence. Because of the richness of the sources utilized and the broad contextualization furnished, this volume provides a good deal more than the study of an intriguing and infrequently discussed chapter in early modern Jewish history and Jewish and Christian relations. Making careful use of …

Navigating the Flood Waters
Environmental history has opened important windows onto the range of human experiences in history, at times allowing for broad understandings of popular culture, social and economic structures, cultural innovations, and intellectual and religious transformations.1 This has been particularly true in Germany, where many scholars have mined material from different historical periods. The Early Modern period (mid-fifteenth through to mid-eighteenth c…
Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland
The Little Ice Age and the Jews
Scholars have frequently portrayed early modern German Jewish history as underresearched and fragmentary, with an underdeveloped pool of historical sources. Even the very productive historian Stefan Rohrbacher, for example, has rued that “[t]he early modern period numbers among the till now very little researched epochs in the history of the Jews in Germany. It has recently received increased attention from historians, however, this interest is d…
Poverty and Charity in the Jewish Community of Medieval Egypt
Jews, Judaism, and the Reformation in Sixteenth-Century Germany
This book represents a multi-disciplinary approach to the problem of the Jews and the German Reformation. The contributions come from both senior and emerging scholars, from North America, Israel, and Europe, to ensure a breadth in perspective. The essays in this volume are arranged under four broad headings: 1. The Road to the Reformation (late medieval theology and the humanists and the Jews), 2. The Reformers and the Jews (essays on Luther, Me…

The volume concludes with an important discussion on education and the future …

The Jews in Umbria. Volume 3
Apples of Gold in Filigrees of Silver
During the Spanish Inquisition, daring individuals defied and thwarted persecution by writing works in which hidden meanings were apparent only to Jews or fellow conversos, the descendants of Jewish converts to Christianity. Colbert Nepaulsingh analyses three seminal, sixteenth-century novels as converso works, using them as points of entry to explore the complex era in which the renowned diverse society of medieval Spain gave way to oppression a…

If he had lived among the Greeks, he would now be numbered among the stars. So wrote Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in his epitaph for Francis Mercury van Helmont. Leibniz was not the only contemporary to admire and respect van Helmont, but although famous in his own day, he has been virtually ignored by modern historians. Yet his views influenced Leibniz, contributed to the development of modern science, and fostered the kind of ecumenicalism that ma…
