Focusing on an epoch of spectacular demographic, political,
economic, and cultural changes for European Jewry, Cultural
Intermediaries chronicles the lives and thinking of ten Jewish
intellectuals of the Renaissance, nine of them from Italy and one a
Portuguese exile who settled in the Ottoman empire after a long
sojourn in Italy. David B. Ruderman, Giuseppe Veltri, and the other
contributors to this volume detail how, in the relative openness of
cultural exchange encountered in such intellectual centers as
Florence, Mantua, Pisa, Naples, Ferrara, and Salonika, these Jewish
savants sought to enlarge their cultural horizons, to correlate the
teachings of their own tradition with those outside it, and to
rethink the meaning of their religious and ethnic identities within
the intellectual and religious categories common to European
civilization as a whole. The engaging intellectual profiles created
especially for this volume by scholars from Israel, North America,
and Europe represent an important rereading and reinterpretation of
early modern Jewish culture and society and its broader European
intellectual contexts.
