"In the promised land of Provence"
Die Migration des Wissens von der Provence nach Italien und die hebräisch-jüdische Philosophietradition, ca. 1400-1600
The project aims to explore the transfer of philosophical works from southern France to northern and central Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries, while also examining the impact of this transfer on the Jewish communities of Italy. The main hypothesis is that this "journey" of knowledge had a profound and transformative influence on the thinking of Italian Jews, which was later reflected in the development of other Jewish philosophical centers, mainly in northern Europe.
