This book offers the first critical edition of the complete text accompanied by a detailed study of the sources and the language. It guides us in understanding why the story of Esther became such a popular theme in 14th-century Provence, and in what way the Avignon Papacy and the studies on Moses Maimonides influenced this literary novelty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erica Baricci\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004514228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004514225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Erica Baricci","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075257889023,"sku":"9789004514225","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8dc6469-cf31-45aa-a6b1-fe6c93795b82.jpg?v=1685458509","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-maas-ester-a-judeo-provenal-poem-erica-baricci-9789004514225","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
