{"product_id":"the-case-against-johann-reuchlin-1","title":"The Case Against Johann Reuchlin","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe case of Johann Reuchlin, one of the best-known controversies of the 16th century, has been interpreted in many ways: as a case of anti-Semitism, a controversy between humanists and scholastics, or a case foreshadowing the Reformation debate. The last interpretation was facilitated by Luther himself, who repeatedly linked his case with that of the biblical humanists Lefevre, Erasmus, and Reuchlin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this lively critical analysis, Erika Rummel describes how the second interpretation, which was promoted in the 19th century, was replaced after WWII by a new sensitivity toward the anti-Semitic elements of the affair. More recently, however, the favoured approach is a more nuanced interpretation, acknowledging that the controversy is informed by a combination of social and intellectual currents and reflects both anti-Semitism and academic strife. The section containing the analysis is followed by documents illustrating the case, some of them translated for the first time into English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"By Erika Rummel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575495196854,"sku":"9780802036513","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780802036513_f68209f9-7eda-4e59-b62b-f8206bf136f1.jpg?v=1727459247","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-case-against-johann-reuchlin-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
