1) Early modern Jewish thought, Italian Jewry

My research focuses on Jewish intellectual history in early modern Europe, with particular attention to seventeenth-century Italy. Drawing on Hebrew and Italian sources, I examine how Jewish scholars of this era understood and articulated their own religious teachings, rituals, traditions, and forms of knowledge within the broader intellectual currents of their time — Christian Hebraism, a Renaissance and Reformation-era fascination with Hebrew scripture and Jewish learning as a path back to the origins of Christianity; the growing European interest in the customs of diverse peoples in the wake of the Age of Exploration; and the dynamic interplay of science, religion, and magic that characterized the period.
