The Old Spanish Bible of Moshe Arragel : Introduction and Prologue. Volume 1 /

: The Arragel Bible-a 15th century Spanish Bible translation with commentary by Moshe Arragel of Guadalajara-is a monumental work of Hispano-Jewish scholarship, an Old Spanish literary classic, and a privileged historical source on Jewish-Christian relations in medieval Iberia. The studies in Volume 1 of our edition in progress review three aspects of this Ibero-Jewish classic by way of introduction: its content and significance for the religious history and literatures of late medieval Spain; a linguistic analysis of Arragel's Castilian-his lexical choices, morphology, and syntax-in its Ibero-Romance context; and an analytic description of the extant illuminated codex in Madrid.
