JEWISH-CHRISTIAN POLEMICS IN EARLY MODERN ITALY

Synagoga and Ecclesia in Our Time, Artwork by sculptor Joshua Koffman. Exhibited in Philadelphia in July 2015.

Hibbur neged ha-notzrim. The text starts with an explanation of the Book of Daniel, chapter 2. Mauro Perani identified the text with the last section of a polemical writing penned by Mosheh Shlomo da Salerno (thirteenth century). If the two texts are indeed identical, the item should be cancelled from our list.

Manuscripts

The text of the disputation is extant in one manuscript:

  1. Livorno, Talmud Tora (LIVORNO TT 51, seventeenth-century Italian type handwriting), 54r-63v
