Book Synopsis "Sefer Hasidim" and the Ashkenazic Book in Medieval Europe by : Ivan G. Marcus
Book excerpt: In "Sefer Hasidim" and the Ashkenazic Book in Medieval Europe, Ivan G. Marcus proposes a new paradigm for understanding how Sefer Hasidim, or "Book of the Pietists," was composed and how it extended an earlier Byzantine rabbinic tradition of authorship into medieval European Jewish culture.
