Hebrew translation of Simone Luzzatto's classic Italian defense of Jews.

Along with Menasseh Ben Israel's similar plea for tolerance this work stands as an important step in the evolution of Jewish-Christian relations. Jews are beginning to have to defend themselves not against the old religious prejudices but against a secular and economcially based anti-Semitism. Text in Hebrew translated from Italian.

2019réf. 213904Busto Arsizio: Nomos Edizioni 2019. Softcover. VG. Light corner bumping otherwise clean and unmarked. Small quarto. Softcover. Illustrated wraps. 173 pages : illustrations chiefly color ; 24 cm. Italian text. Probably painted in the last decade of the fifteenth century the Scapiliata represents both a puzzle and a symbol. A puzzle as is often the case with Leonardo da Vinci's work linked to a unique experimentalism that codified some of the most characteristic canons of modernity. But it is also a symbol since her face with its loose hair is not a simple icon of feminine beauty: it is much more. It corresponds to the search for expressive means capable of summarizing in the immobile two-dimensional space of a small panel all the divine complexity of reality: movement life affections or rather the feelings inherent to the emotional and psychological sphere of the subject. A work that however small in size encapsulates the full breadth of the innovations and questions raised by Leonardo. Exhibition: Complesso Monumentale della Pilotta Parma Italy 18.05-12.08.2019.
