The Autobiography of a Seventeenth-Century Venetian Rabbi

Geoffrey BrownReading a real life autobiography of a prolific Jewish Renaissance Venetian writer, orator, tutor, parent has changed the way I thought I understood this colorful era in Jewish history. Although it is one individual's perspective, Rabbi Modena's candor is infectious-the editor and translator has provided pre and post articles as well as a distinctly academic reservoir of historical notes that enliven the autobiography's content.

Excellent quality! Seller stated that the book was in good condition, and it is!
