Esther in Medieval Garb: Jewish Interpretation of the Book of Esther in the Middle Ages (Judaica Hermen Mystic Religion)

By Barry Dov Walfish

Book Overview

This comprehensive history, the first to appear in English, gives a vivid portrayal of the Book of Esther's role in the intellectual and cultural life of Jews in the Middle Ages. Much of the study is based on material that exists only in manuscripts, and it introduces many exegetes hitherto unknown or unstudied.
