Beschreibung

John Selden (1584-1654) stands out as one who sought 'not fame but truth in an erudition more vast than was ever garnered by any other human mind'. Although scholars have examined his contributions to political theory, legal, and constitutional history, this book is the first to discuss in detail Selden's rabbinic publications.
