Book Details
This book is the first to examine closely the interaction between Jewish culture, medicine, and science from the late sixteenth to the late eighteenth centuries, Europe's age of "scientific revolution." Ruderman argues that during this era Jewish culture and society became increasingly aware of medical and scientific advances, and that a new Jewish scientific discourse evolved that had significant repercussions for Jewish religious concerns.
