The final chapter, \u003ci\u003eMah?beret Ha-Tofet Ve-ha-'Eden \u003c\/i\u003e(A Tale of Heaven and Hell), like Dante's \u003ci\u003eCommedia\u003c\/i\u003e, depicts Immanuel's visits to hell and heaven. \u003ci\u003eBridging Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the interrelation of Immanuel's belletristic work and biblical exegesis to advance a comprehensive and original reading of this final chapter. By reading Immanuel's philosophical commentaries and literary works together, Dana Fishkin demonstrates that Immanuel's narrative made complex philosophical ideas about the soul's quest for immortality accessible to an educated populace. Throughout this work, she explains the many ways \u003ci\u003eMah?beret Ha-Tofet Ve-ha-'Eden\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a site of cultural negotiation and translation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBridging Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e broadens our understanding of the tensions inherent in the world of late medieval Jewish people who were deeply enmeshed in Italian culture and literature, negotiating two cultures whose values may have overlapped but also sometimes clashed. Fishkin puts forth a valuable and refreshing perspective alongside previously unknown sources to breathe new life into this extremely rich and culturally valuable medieval work.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wayne State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685660061976,"sku":"9780814350355","price":32.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/bridging-worlds-poetry-and-philosophy-in-the-works-of-immanuel-of-rome-paperback-softback-9780814350355","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
