Add to basketedited by Hiro Hirai. fabrizio Serra, 2014, pp. 120 con figure in bianco/nero n.t. -- Protetto dal cardinale Richelieu, Jacques Gaffarel (1601-1681) fu un dotto orientalista, stimato da autorevoli studiosi del tempo come Pierre Gassendi. Il suo libro più famoso e controverso, intitolato Curiositez Inouyes (1629) e profondamente influenzato dalle dottrine rinascimentali della storia del mondo, la prisca theologia e la cabala cristiana, tratta di talismani, di oroscopi e dell'astrologia attribuita agli antichi Ebrei. Il presente volume, costituito da sei saggi interdisciplinari, si propone di fornire la prima visione complessiva dell'opera e dell'influsso di Gaffarel, analizzando le sue concezioni sulla cabala, la magia, la filosofia naturale, la storia del mondo e altre dottrine in relazione al loro specifico contesto storico e intellettuale. Entro tale prospettiva, il volume intende collocare Gaffarel nella mappa intellettuale all'alba della rivoluzione scientifica. A protégé of Cardinal Richelieu, Jacques Gaffarel (1601-1681) was a learned Orientalist, respected by leading minds of the time such as Pierre Gassendi. Heavily influenced by the Renaissance vision of world history, prisca theologia and Christian Cabala, his Curiositez Inouyes (1629) was a controversial work on talismans, horoscopes and astrology ascribed to the 'ancient Hebrews'. The present volume of six interdisciplinary essays aims to provide the first substantial survey of Gaffarel's work and influence. His views on Cabala, magic and natural philosophy, world history and other disciplines will be studied in their own historical and intellectual context. In doing so, this volume seeks to place Gaffarel on the intellectual map at the dawn of the Scientific Revolution. Sommario: Hiro Hirai, Foreword. List of Abbreviations.
