Edited and coordinated by Luis Gómez Canseco, this edition offers a profound analysis of aspects such as the symbology of gestures, the interpretation of biblical measurements, sacred geography, temple construction, and the meaning of ornaments in the Old Testament. It is a key piece for understanding 16th-century humanist erudition and the controversies surrounding the most ambitious polyglot Bible of its time, while also complementing the \u003cem\u003eLibro de José\u003c\/em\u003e, a work that received the National Translation Award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work focuses on the \u003cem\u003eAntiqvitatvm Ivdaiicarvm libri IX\u003c\/em\u003e, where Arias Montano displays an exhaustive knowledge of Hebrew antiquities. Through these treatises, the author examines elements of the biblical world that go beyond the letter of the sacred text: from ritual gestures to the dimensions of Solomon’s Temple, to the geography of the Holy Land and the chronology of biblical time. These studies, with their marked Hebraist character, were one of the main causes of the opposition faced by the \u003cem\u003eBiblia Regia\u003c\/em\u003e, as they addressed Jewish tradition from a philological and symbolic perspective. The current edition, prepared by Luis Gómez Canseco, presents these texts with academic rigor, facilitating access for researchers and readers interested in Renaissance biblical exegesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBiblical exegesis and hermeneutics of the Old Testament in the 16th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStudy of Hebrew antiquities: biblical gestures, measurements, geography, and time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSymbology and meaning of ornaments and sacred structures in the Jewish tradition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eControversy surrounding the \u003cem\u003eBiblia Regia\u003c\/em\u003e and the role of Hebraist studies in humanist Europe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritical edition and translation of Renaissance Latin texts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at researchers, philologists, historians of religion, and advanced students of theology or biblical studies.

The work of Arias Montano, carefully edited by Luis Gómez Canseco, offers specialists first-hand material to analyze Renaissance exegesis and the intellectual tensions it generated. Its length and density make it a required reference for university libraries and research centers, rather than for a general audience. The interested reader will find here a high-level philological work that illuminates a little-known but essential facet of 16th-century erudition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNIVERSIDAD DE HUELVA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405842473307,"sku":"9788415633259","price":24.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841563325.jpg?v=1781832966","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788415633259","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
