Rabbi of Livorno, Elijah Benamozegh (1822-1900) achieved in his writings a unique synthesis of the old and the new, which likely could have only flourished in the unique Jewish intellectual environment of Italy. The author combined the latest findings of modern scholarship with a devotion to the Kabbalah, while also examining issues of pluralism and patriotism.
