The author demonstrates how the midrashic tradition has had a significant impact not only on the oral repertoire of the Sephardic Jews but also on contemporary Spanish versions of the ballad known as \u003ci\u003eEl sacrificio de Isaac.\u003c\/i\u003e This fascinating study traces the evolution of a 16th-century text into three modern-day branches, and examines how each has reflected the society and culture of its transmitters. In the final chapter, the author explores the theory that the Peninsular version may have been preserved by Crypto-Jews and \u003ci\u003econversos\u003c\/i\u003e through the centuries as a powerful symbol of their destiny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alberto Barugel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820409545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820409542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Alberto Barugel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241111924991,"sku":"9780820409542","price":65.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f006120c-d392-4467-a744-58b9d35feaed.jpg?v=1772652787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sacrifice-of-isaac-in-alberto-barugel-9780820409542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
