Il resto di Israele: La letteratura degli ebrei nell'Italia del Settecento tra integrazione e isolamento

[The "Remnant of Israel" is a concept of the Hebrew prophetic language. It can be interpreted as an eschatological image representing the righteous remnant after G-d's judgment of the Nations or as an expression of the condition of the Jewish people throughout its history, as Franz Rosezweig says in The Star of Redemption. At least as far as 18th century Italian Judaism is concerned, it is tempting to apply the concept of "Remnant" to the explanation of some particularities of literary production. Its application to Jewish history can challenge some basic assumptions concerning the shift in Jewish self-definition which occurred with modernity and political emancipation.]
