The last interpretation was facilitated by Luther himself, who repeatedly linked his case with that of the biblical humanists Lefevre, Erasmus, and Reuchlin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this lively critical analysis, Erika Rummel describes how the second interpretation, which was promoted in the 19th century, was replaced after WWII by a new sensitivity toward the anti-Semitic elements of the affair. More recently, however, the favoured approach is a more nuanced interpretation, acknowledging that the controversy is informed by a combination of social and intellectual currents and reflects both anti-Semitism and academic strife. The section containing the analysis is followed by documents illustrating the case, some of them translated for the first time into English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erika Rummel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802084842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802084842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 5.98w x 0.57d","brand":"Erika Rummel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947182588159,"sku":"9780802084842","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2933fabe-3325-4c50-a619-ded7060c8a53.jpg?v=1681517210","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/case-against-johann-reuchlin-erika-rummel-9780802084842","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
