Rabbi Judah Moscato and the Jewish Intellectual World of Mantua in the 16th-17th Centuries

A distinguished figure of the Italian-Jewish Renaissance, Rabbi Judah Moscato (c.1533–1590), emerges from this scholarly volume as a pivotal intellectual force in Mantua during the 16th and 17th centuries. The proceedings, derived from an international conference co-organized by the Institute of Jewish Studies at Halle-Wittenberg and Mantua’s State Archives, offer a comprehensive exploration of Moscato's life, contributions, and the broader cultural milieu that shaped his era. Through interdisciplinary analyses, the volume illuminates the synergy between Jewish scholarship, preachery, and Renaissance intellectual movements, providing a nuanced understanding of Mantua as a hub for Jewish thought and innovation.
