New publication from David Price

Johannes Reuchlin and the Campaign to Destroy Jewish Books
David Price (Oxford, 2011)
"The reader looking for a fresh 'take' on the German Renaissance and Reformation is well advised to grab Price's deeply researched and lucidly written book: a surprising story of the first Christian Hebraist to embrace and defend Jewish religious culture. Set against the background of late medieval anti-Semitism, he appears as a modern progressive when compared to the more famous Erasmus and Luther, who disparaged the Jews." -Steven Ozment
