Modern Jewish Scholarship in Hungary
Beschreibung
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This impressive volume describes key aspects of the development of Jewish scholarship in the Hungarian-speaking environment and the environment in which this took place. [...] This will be a basic work for many years on academic Jewish research in Hungary. It provides material for comparisons with such studies in other contexts and with other religious groups in Central Europe. It is also a fine starting point for beginning work on individuals and on subspecialties for which Hungary was (and is) noted, including folklore and Oriental studies."
Shaul Stampfer in: Religious Studies Review 43.4 (2017), 413-414
"Insgesamt ist das Buch ein wichtiger Beitrag für die Geschichte der
Wissenschaft des Judentums
."
