Obadiah Sforno was an influential Jewish thinker of sixteenth-century Italian Renaissance, whose religious and exegetical authority has had an enduring legacy. The collected essays offer an unprecedented and much desired overview of his life and thought with an emphasis on the neglected philosophical dimension of his oeuvre, as seen in both his biblical commentaries and his sole philosophical treatise Light of the Nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents   Prelude   Preface   Notes on Contributors      1 Obadiah Sforno: Between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance    Giuseppe Veltri      Part 1: Biography   2 Sforno on Wealth, Work, and Charity    Andrew Berns      3 Roman Holiday: Conjectures on Johann Reuchlin as a Pupil of Obadiah Sforno    Saverio Campanini      Part 2: Philosophy   4 “A Fourth Kind of Being”: The Legacy of Averroes in Obadiah Sforno’s Theory of the Intellect    Symon Foren      5 Averroes and Sforno on God’s Knowledge of Particulars    Steven Harvey      6 The Concept of Time in Sforno: The Philosophical and Exegetical Interpretation of the Creation of the World    Giada Coppola      7 Sforno on Intellectual imitatio Dei    Warren Zev Harvey      8 Between Two Versions: A Hebrew Manuscript and an Argument for Latin Priority    Florian Dunklau      Part 3: Exegesis   9 Job et les fins de la providence : exégèse, théologie systématique et cohérence de l’œuvre de R.
