Description

The Middle Ages were a time of significant conceptual shifts and changes for Jewish culture. It was during this period that Judaism truly encountered the Greek literary (primarily philosophical) heritage through translations and adaptations into Arabic. Jews began to produce theological and philosophical works. The complex process of adapting and interpreting philosophical tradition proceeded differently in Jewish culture than in Muslim and Christian cultures. Initially, most works were written by Jewish authors in Arabic; beginning in the 13th century, they were written in Hebrew. This anthology of texts by Jewish authors will help to create an understanding of the development of philosophical and theological thought from the 10th to the 15th centuries. This book will be useful not only for students of the history of philosophy, culture, and religion, but also for anyone interested in medieval culture.
