Editorial Reviews
Review
Abraham Melamed, University of Haifa. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 65, No. 3 (fall 2012), pp. 951-953.
“Burnett’s immensely erudite book is a valuable addition to the historiography on the subject and is likely to become an essential tool for scholars.”
Diego Lucci, American University in Bulgaria. In:
“Burnett’s
Christian Hebraism in the Reformation Era … is the closest we have to a handbook of early modern Christian Hebraism and will be an essential reference for all scholars working on this area. … Burnett brings along the novice reader while framing the issues clearly and presenting a wealth of data for the more experienced scholar.”Adam Shear, University of Pittsburgh. In: Journal of Jewish Studies, Vol. 65, No. 2 (Autumn 2014), pp. 448.
“Burnett’s book updates the scholarship on Christian Hebraism, successfully providing the evidence crucial to the study of book history. It also, and most importantly, provides the literary critic and intellectual historian with a firm basis for the development of his or her own disciplinary interests. What is more, Burnett’s summarizing conclusions about the theological and political aspects of the printing and dissemination of Christian Hebraic scholarship provoke much thought for scholars of the different disciplines, and will certainly make this book a key text in their own, modern libraries.”
Chanita Goodblatt, Ben Gurion University of the Negev. In:
“not only for solid historical backing but also for the development of further research into the techniques of sixteenth and seventeenth-century Christian Hebraism Burnett’s book offers an excellent introduction, and pleasant reading.”
Albert van der Heide. In:
“Burnett’s book is an essential resource to scholars of the Reformation, of the Jewish book, and of early modern print.”
