Don Isaac Abravanel (1437-1508) was a major historical figure
during the waning of the Middle Ages. Statesman, diplomat, courtier
and financier, he was, at the same time, a scholar of encyclopaedic
learning, a philosopher, an exegete, a prolific author, a mystic
and an apocalyptist. In Abravanel, B. Netanyahu suggests, two long
lines of tradition met and concluded: that of medieval Jewish
statesmen and that of medieval Jewish philosophers. In what is both
a biography and an exploration of Abravanel's thought and
influence, Netanyahu describes how Abravanel illuminated the grave
crisis and profound transformation experienced by the Jewish people
after the Spanish expulsion.
