A magnificent achievement.\"--Adam Sutcliffe, King's College London\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization, Volume 5, covering the early modern period (1500-1750), presents a variety of Jewish texts to demonstrate the diversity of Jewish culture and life. These texts originate from Eastern and Western Europe, the Americas, the Ottoman Empire, North Africa, Kurdistan, Persia, Yemen, India--in short, a worldwide diaspora. They embrace historical writing and religious scholarship, liturgical expression and economic records, ethics and personal devotion, correspondence and communal regulations, art and music, architecture and poetry. The simultaneous centrifugal and centripetal character of Jewish communities during this era illustrates the distinctiveness of the early modern period in Jewish history and informs developments in world history at large. Including texts written by women, a robust collection of images, and extensive material not previously accessible to English-language readers, this volume is rich, deep, and enlightening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yosef Kaplan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300135513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300135510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.47h x 8.11w x 2.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2023","brand":"Yosef Kaplan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072436924671,"sku":"9780300135510","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8352b5c-afbc-4e18-8bfb-2021f9ece145.jpg?v=1685441959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-posen-library-of-jewish-yosef-kaplan-9780300135510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
