Description
This book offers a vivid picture of an important feature of Italian Jewry during the Renaissance--the Rabbinate--which was then the most diverse and distinguished group in Jewish society. Bonfil discusses the social, cultural and institutional history of the period (1450-1600), including the status and functions of the rabbinate, its religious role, the relation of rabbinic ordination to the doctorate conferred by universities, and the relations between members and the lay leaders of their communities. - from Amzon
