Book Synopsis
This volume is based on a rich, extensive, and previously untapped source for one of the most important and fascinating Jewish communities in early modern Europe: the sermons of Saul Levi Morteira (ca. 1596-1660). Marc Saperstein provides the first comprehensive analysis of the historical significance of Morteita’s texts, some of which were heard by the young Spinoza.
