Abstract:
The various attitudes regarding the Jews on part of men belonging to the first Reform generation can be researched through a careful analysis of the motives, difficulties and opinions expressed by the most influent among the Christian hebraists of that time, Sebastian Münster (1488-1552). Such a reading also helps to understand the standpoint of later Hebrew scholars, even up to our own times. In this paper, we review the different ways in which Münster justifies his activity as a Hebrew scholar, from which emerge the outlines of the new social role of the expert.
