      abstract = {Isaac Casaubon (1559-1614) was one of Europe's greatest  Protestant scholars during the late Renaissance and was  renowned for his expert knowledge of the early history of  the church. Today, however, most of Casaubon's books remain  unread, and much of his vast archive remains unexplored.  Grafton and Weinberg's close examination of his papers  reveal for the first time that Casaubon's scholarship was  broader and richer than anyone has previously suspected,  and they present a Casaubon not found in earlier  literature: one who used Jewish materials to illuminate,  and at times to transform, scholars' understanding of of  early Christianity; and one who, at the end of his life,  worked with a little-known Jewish scholar in order to  master parts of the Talmud, which few Christians could  study on their own. Most importantly , this book shows that  a Christian scholar of the European Renaissance could  explore-and develop striking sympathy and affection for-the  alien world and worship of the Jews.},
