Dionysius Vossius (1612–1633), Guglielmus Vorstius (c. 1610–1652), and Georgius Gentius (1618–1687) constitute a major focus of the present study and attention is given to their attitudes to and opinions of Judaism and, especially, their relations with members of the Jewish community. Their study of Maimonides’ code was not without issue, and the present work ultimately turns on the instruction that Rabbis Menasseh ben Israel, Isaac Aboab, and Moses Raphael d’Aguilar provided these Christians, and on the repercussions of the Hebraists’ study of the \u003ci\u003eMishneh Torah\u003c\/i\u003e on the life of the Jewish communities of Amsterdam, Hamburg, and London.","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54222013006168,"sku":"9780674128651","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780674128651_0aaff4b6-dd74-4677-91eb-9babdb9eebdc.jpg?v=1777078817","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/christian-hebraists-and-dutch-rabbis","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
