The volume, investigating the extraordinary season of the Italian
Renaissance, highlights the great contribution offered to the
culture of that period by the Jewish world, still little documented
in today's studies. Indeed, there is no doubt that Judaism, with
its long-lasting identity and tradition strongly rooted in
territorial states, has made a peculiar contribution to the sphere
of arts, literature and humanistic philosophy, contributing to
giving many original and inimitable intonations to the Italian
Renaissance. The investigation proposed here focuses on the
relationship - harmonious in some cases and conflicting in others -
between the Christian majority society and the Jewish identity in
the period between the early fifteenth and mid-sixteenth centuries,
meaning from the full affirmation of the Humanism to the conclusion
of the Council of Trento, offering at the same time a precise
geographical overview of the phenomenon. The volume is divided into
thematic chapters, it contains a rich catalogue of testimonies
ranging from liturgical objects to those of daily use, from
manuscripts to furnishings to some art masterpieces, and is
supplemented by bibliographical apparatus. Essays by: Guido
Bartolucci, Giulio Busi, Donatella Calabi, Saverio Campanini, J.H.
Chajes, Andreina Contessa, Miriam Davide, Silvana Greco, Maria
Giuseppina Muzzarelli, Mauro Perani, David B. Ruderman, Angela
Scandaliato, Salvatore Settis, Giacomo Todeschini, Francesca
Trivellato, Giuseppe Veltri, Gianni Venturi, Joanna Weinberg.
