| Summary: | Responsible students of Isaac Abarbanel face a complicated task. This towering figure was more than a “statesman and philosopher.” He was one of the most prolific writers in the Middle Ages and Early Modern periods, both in terms of quantity and variety of genres. As a Jewish leader, his writings reflect the turbulent age of Spanish Jewry after the expulsion from Spain and the spiritual needs of the refugees. Living in a milieu exposed to renaissance culture, one must be attentive to its influence on Abarbanel's world. |
