{"product_id":"christian-conceptions-of-jewish-books-avner-shamir-9788763537834","title":"Christian Conceptions of Jewish Books: The Pfefferkorn Affair","description":"This book explores the conflicting perceptions that Christians held of the meaning and significance of Jewish books at the beginning of the 16th century - a time when, following their general expulsion from many countries and territories, there were fewer Jews in western and central Europe than in the previous thousand years. The book tells the story of the so-called Pfefferkorn affair: a tenacious campaign led by the German Johann Pfefferkorn - previously a Jew and converted to Christianity - to confiscate and burn all Jewish post-biblical literature in the Holy Roman Empire in the years 15091510. The author follows the fate of the confiscated books and their examination by a commission of experts, exploring how Christians perceived Jewish scholarship and knowledge and the consequences of those perceptions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Avner Shamir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8763537834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788763537834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Museum Tusculanum Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Avner Shamir","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941282644223,"sku":"9788763537834","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a57c08f7-aa8f-45c1-9f59-983f178111c1.jpg?v=1681452005","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christian-conceptions-of-jewish-books-avner-shamir-9788763537834","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
