Publisher Synopsis
"...very good indeed, [...] make important contributions to our knowledge about religious boundary crossing in early modern Europe (and, more particularly, about the positve reevaluation of Judaism among some radical Christians). The editors of the volume have chosen to draw the reader in by highlighting the apparent historic impoobability of conversion to Judaism in early modern Europe. But the reader will come away from the book reassured that this "improbability", like most other things seen in context, was not improbable at all - at least on a small scale."Miriam Bodian, Renaissance Quarterly.
