Abstract:
"An investigation of the primacy of Scripture to the 17th-Jewish Portuguese community in Amsterdam, as opposed to the more common emphasis on rabbinic works. Shows how the influence of surrounding Christian culture, scientific discovery, and the Portuguese Jews' converso background all contributed to this emphasis"--Provided by publisher

"The book had its genesis during my doctoral studies in the Department of History at the University of Pennsylvania"--Acknowledgements
