Ivan G. Marcus. “Sefer Hasidim” and the Ashkenazic Book in Medieval Europe
Ivan G. Marcus’s “Sefer Hasidim” and the Ashkenazic Book in Medieval Europe is a rather unique book about a rather unique Jewish book from the Middle Ages. The Book of the Pietists [Sefer Hasidim], “written anonymously [in the thirteenth century] but attributed to Rabbi Judah b. Samuel he-hasid (the pietist) of Regensburg (d.1217),” has long been studied for its insights into the Jewish spirituality of a small circle of medieval rabbis and their …
Shylock, the Devil and the Meaning of Deception in The Merchant of Venice
The article explores Shakespeare’s secularized retelling of the Christian theological narrative of deceiving the Devil, with Antonio playing the role of Christ and Shylock as the Devil. The article argues that recasting the contest between Christ and the Devil in the world of Venice sets the stage for Shakespeare’s larger exploration of the pervasive nature of deceit in human affairs. Although it seems that Shakespeare’s characters are resigned t…

Maimonides and the Rise and Fall of the Sabians
The Koran mentions the Sabi'un three times (II 6-2, V 69, XXII 17). "Believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabi'un—whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does what is right—shall be rewarded by their Lord; they have nothing to fear or to regret." This language is repeated in the second citation. The third appearance is slightly different: "As for true believers, the Jews, the Sabi'un, the Christians, the Magians, and the pagans, Allah will jud…
A New Essenism
A New Essenism: Heinrich Graetz and Mysticism Jonathan M. Elukin Since the Reformation, European Christians have sought to understand the origins of Christianity by studying the world of Second Temple Judaism. These efforts created a fund of scholarly knowledge of ancient Judaism, but they labored under deep-seated pre judices about the nature of Judaism. When Jewish scholars in nineteenth-century Europe, primarily in Germany, came to study their…
