Mishnaic Moment
This collection of essays treats a topic that has scarcely been approached in the literature on Hebrew and Hebraism in the early modern period. Their work was also inextricably dependent upon the vigorous Mishnaic studies of early modern Jewish communities. In the seventeenth century, Christians, especially Protestants, studied the Mishnah alongside a host of Jewish commentaries in order to reconstructJewish culture, history, and ritual, shedding new light on the world of the Old and New Testaments.
Surenhusius gathered up more than a century's worth of Mishnaic studies by scholars from England, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden, as well as the commentaries of Both traditions, in a sense, culminated in the monumental production in six volumes of an edition and Latin translation of the Mishnah published by Guilielmus Surenhusius in Amsterdam between 1698 and 1703.
