| Sumario: | The author criticizes the book "Historia de riti hebraici," by Leone da Modena. He describes this work as depicting a new awareness among Jews and Christians at the beginning of the seventeenth century and representing incipient Jewish attempts to re-orient Christian attitudes toward the Jews. He also stresses that Modena emphatically reported that there were no longer any heretics in Judaism, except for residual elements of the Karaites. |
