"The present volume contains articles based on papers delivered at the two international conferences organized as part of the research project Between Two Worlds in 2017 and 2019. Obadiah Sforno is an influential Jewish thinker of 16th-century Italian Renaissance, whose religious and exegetical authority have had an enduring legacy. The collected essays offer an unprecedented and much desired overview of Sforno's life and thought with an emphasis on the neglected philosophical dimension of his oeuvre, as seen in both his biblical commentaries and his sole philosophical treatise "Light of the Nations"-- Provided by publisher.
