4to, pp.335 hardcover. A comprehensive and timely exploration of the key role Jerusalem played in shaping the art and culture of the Middle Ages Medieval Jerusalem was a vibrant international center and home to multiple cultures, faiths, and languages. Harmonious and dissonant influences from Persian, Turkish, Greek, Syrian, Armenian, Georgian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Indian, and European traditions invested Jerusalem with a key role in shaping the art of the Middle Ages. Through compelling essays by international and interdisciplinary experts and detailed discussions of more than 200 works of art, this beautiful, authoritative volume breaks new ground in exploring the relationship between the historical and the archetypal city of Jerusalem, uncovering the ways in which the aesthetic achievements it inspired enhanced and enlivened the medieval world. Patrons and artists from Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions alike focused their attention on the Holy City, endowing and enriching its sacred buildings and creating luxury goods for its residents. This artistic fertility was particularly in evidence between the 11th and the 14th centuries, notwithstanding often devastating circumstances-from the earthquake of 1033 to the fierce battles of the Crusades. Dazzling illustrations featuring new photography complement this unprecedented, panoptic story of Jerusalem in the Middle Ages.

8vo, ril. ed. in sovracop- Una storia della diaspora sefardita, la minoranza ebrea spagnola che, cacciata dalla penisola iberica all'indomani della scoperta dell'America, si insediò nei territori dell'Impero Ottomano, nei Balcani e in Asia minore. E lì si è sviluppata mischiando lingua, tradizioni, costumi e vita sociale con l'Islam mediterraneo. L'Impero Ottomano era un contesto multietnico e multiculturale in cui lingue, religioni e modelli economici e sociali si integravano e in cui gli ebrei, così come greci e armeni, godevano di ampie autonomie e funzionavano di fatto come uno stato nell'Impero, sotto la guida dei rabbini e dei notabili. La nascita di nuovi Stati con forte identità nazionale su base etnica segnerà la fine di quella fase e l'inizio delle persecuzioni. esaurito fuori catalogo. firma di app. altrimenti come nuovo.
8vo, rilegat. ed. sovracoperta, cofanetto. 510pp. «La letteratura dei palazzi, o Hekalot, come si chiamano in ebraico, è antica, misteriosa, difficile. Mette soggezione anche al lettore esperto, abituato a vedersela con i testi astrusi della qabbalah, la sapienza segreta del giudaismo, che si è forgiata tra il XIII e il XVI secolo. Per quanto siano complesse le allegorie dei mistici medievali e della prima età moderna, questi palazzi a perpendicolo su dirupi di luce rimangono una meta proibitiva, quasi irraggiungibile. La letteratura degli Hekalot precede la qabbalah. La precede nel tempo, giacché comincia a costituirsi nei primi secoli dell'età volgare, e la precede nell'ordine mentale e nell'immaginario collettivo. Chi giunge alle dimore divine, e riesce a penetrarvi, entra in un'aristocrazia sapienziale, invidiata e ambita. Il percorso è pericoloso. Alle porte degli edifici superni vigilano guardiani scorbutici e maneschi. Bisogna saperli prendere con le buone, ingraziarseli, oppure aggirarli ricorrendo a qualche aiuto altolocato. Ma non è solo l'itinerario difficile a respingere molti, o forse quasi tutti. Il problema, con cui si scontrava l'adepto in età antica, e che ancora oggi scoraggia più di un lettore, è capire il perché di tanta fatica. Cosa si trova in cielo? Beninteso, non nel cielo volgare dei nostri viaggi intercontinentali. Quello che qui importa è il cielo incontaminato della sapienza primordiale. Il cielo abitato da Dio e dalla sua corte celeste. Il cielo affollato di angeli, protetto da mura altissime di tizzoni accesi, a un tempo percorso da melodie dolcissime e scosso da paurosi boati. Cosa c'è da vedere, cosa c'è da sapere? Questo è l'argomento del nostro libro. Le pagine che seguono sono una risposta alla domanda che, da sempre, s'è fatta a chi torna. Cos'hai visto? Ne valeva la pena? Cosa c'è "là"»?

8vom 240pp. According to a commonplace narrative, the rise of modern political thought in the West resulted from secularizationthe exclusion of religious arguments from political discourse. But in this pathbreaking work, Eric Nelson argues that this familiar story is wrong. Instead, he contends, political thought in early-modern Europe became less, not more, secular with time, and it was the Christian encounter with Hebrew sources that provoked this radical transformation. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Christian scholars began to regard the Hebrew Bible as a political constitution designed by God for the children of Israel. Newly available rabbinic materials became authoritative guides to the institutions and practices of the perfect republic. This thinking resulted in a sweeping reorientation of political commitments. In the books central chapters, Nelson identifies three transformative claims introduced into European political theory by the Hebrew revival: the argument that republics are the only legitimate regimes; the idea that the state should coercively maintain an egalitarian distribution of property; and the belief that a godly republic would tolerate religious diversity. One major consequence of Nelsons work is that the revolutionary politics of John Milton, James Harrington, and Thomas Hobbes appear in a brand-new light. Nelson demonstrates that central features of modern political thought emerged from an attempt to emulate a constitution designed by God. This paradox, a reminder that while we may live in a secular age, we owe our politics to an age of religious fervor, in turn illuminates fault lines in contemporary political discourse.

8vo, br. ed. 220pp. Jewish Communism' was one of the most powerful and destructive political myths in 20th-century Europe. The cry of Jewish communist conspiracy turned traditional, often religiously inspired anti-Jewish sentiments into a murderous anti-Semitic rampage. The connection of Jews with communism has always been an extremely sensitive issue, which cannot simply be dismissed as a fully irrational phenomenon. Jews were disproportionately present in the revolutionary movement. This does not make the myth of Jewish Communism less mythical, but it does imply that real interests and conflicts were involved. This book presents the first full-length analysis of the identification of Jews with communism. It traces the myth of Jewish Communism from the traditional anti-Jewish prejudices on which it is built, to its crucial role in Eastern European Stalinist and post-Stalinist politics. It documents the painful controversies that the participation of Jews in the revolutionary movement has generated among Jewish observers, among communists, and also among historians. The Author : André Gerrits is Associate Professor in East European Studies at the University of Amsterdam, where he holds the Jean Monnet Chair in European Integration, and Senior Research Fellow at the Netherlands Institute of International Relations (Clingendael).

New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 13,5 cm). In English. 418 p. The official line that successive Turkish regimes have frequently repeated and which has firmly established itself in both Turkish and foreign public opinion is that the Republic of Turkey is one of those rare countries in which antisemitism has never taken root, and in which Jews have thus lived for centuries within a tolerant atmosphere of peace and tranquility, but it simply isn't true. Along with antisemitism are the conspiracy theories in which the "Jew" or the "Zionist" feature as the main actors that are widely seen throughout Turkish society. In fact, this state of affairs is not only pervasive but has even become "normal" to the point of banality, so much so that it tends to draw no reaction from either the country's intellectuals or politicians. This book contains a collection of author's published articles on the subject-a subject that has received no serious treatment in Turkey, and as such attempts to fill the gaping hole in our knowledge of this widespread yet rarely discussed phenomenon and, as such, stands as an indispensible source for those interested in Turkey and antisemitism.

8vo, br. ed. 428pp. Fra le grandi narrazioni che hanno accompagnato la storia dell’uomo, quella dell’Esodo dall’Egitto è senza dubbio una delle più dense di significato, e il testo biblico che l’ha tramandata fino a noi ne è la vivida testimonianza letteraria. La potenza evocativa delle descrizioni – dalle dieci piaghe d’Egitto al prodigio del Mare dei giunchi – rischia tuttavia di lasciare in ombra gli sviluppi sotterranei del mito. In questo saggio Jan Assmann, con profondità e vastità di sguardo, interroga il libro dell’Esodo dal punto di vista dell’«egittologo che opera nel campo delle scienze culturali», risalendo alle origini dei suoi nuclei mitici e indagandone gli effetti e i riverberi nel tempo. Sarà così possibile vedere da una nuova prospettiva la cruciale rivelazione nel roveto ardente, allorché Yahweh manifesta la propria volontà e stabilisce un patto con il popolo eletto: «Con l’idea del patto viene al mondo la “fede”, che rappresenta l’autentica, rivoluzionaria novità del monoteismo biblico, sia esso veterotestamentario, neotestamentario o islamico». Nell’Antico Testamento, infatti, «“fede” ha lo stesso significato di “fedeltà”, ovvero fiducia nel patto». E il «monoteismo della fedeltà» porterà a una nuova idea di religione, in grado di gettare «le basi per un rapporto totalmente nuovo con il mondo, con Dio e con il tempo» – un rapporto destinato a perdurare fino alla modernità.
