Description:
"The Scandal of Kabbalah is excellent. It is one of the first studies to take cutting-edge scholarship on the history of the book and apply it to a Hebrew text. Yaacob Dweck makes a serious contribution to scholarship on Leon Modena, to Jewish intellectual history of the early modern period, and to the history of the Hebrew book."--Elisheva Carlebach, Columbia University
"An extremely learned and valuable piece of scholarship."--Matt Goldish, Ohio State University
