Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. First edition. Octavo. xvi, 296pp. Index and 16 page bibliography. Text in English with occasional Hebrew. Light green over purple boards, lettered in purple. Spine sun faded to light blue and very minor bump at foot of spine, otherwise a fine, as new copy. This book discusses major Karaite thinkers from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, as well as the central themes in their writings. It also outlines the impact of Karaism on the dominant Rabbanite Jews and their major thinkers, especially Maimonides. It should be of interest to all those who study medieval philosophy, intellectual history, Judaism and sectarianism. The present study is a pioneering account of the development of late medieval Karaite Jewish thought, challenging the oft-repeated assertion that Karaite thinkers remained loyal to Kal?m, the dominant theological philosophy during the earlier Golden Age of Karaism. A careful reading of Karaite sources demonstrates that the watershed figure whose influence led to changes in Karaite thought was the Rabbanite Maimonides, whose attacks on the Kal?m had revealed its scientific shortcomings. (Publisher) Contents: Background -- Major thinkers -- Contacts with Rabbanite thinkers -- Topics -- Into the modern period.
