Rezensionen

'Norman Roth, now Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, has, in the course of a lengthy academic career, utilized his linguistic talents, his wide reading and his critical mind for the reconstruction of Jewish cultural history in that geographical area and time period, and the current volume is his latest contribution to the discussion ... Roth has undoubtedly displayed here an extensive knowledge of the subject, an impressively wide acquaintance with the literature, and an enthusiasm for tackling a vast variety of challenging problems and difficulties' - Journal of Jewish Studies (Vol. 73, No. 1).

'Roth establishes a critical dialogue with many opposing voices and perspectives by greatly utilizing the notes sections, demonstrating his knowledge in the field by providing extremely detailed explanations, background information, resources, and commentary. Those interested in medieval Jewish exegesis will find this text valuable as it explores both historical and cultural implications' - LA CORÓNICA (51:1).
