Anthonius Margaritha and the Jewish Faith: Jewish Life and Conversion in Sixteenth-Century Germany

Acknowledgments

xi Acknowledgments I thank Matt Goldish, Yaacov Deutsch, and Andrew Gow for reading early drafts and suggesting many improvements. I am grateful to the librarians of the Klau Library for their extraordinary competence and helpfulness, especially for approval to use illustrations from their collections. The librarians at the University of Chicago Regenstein Library, the Andover-Harvard Theological Library, and the University of Utah Marriott Library have shown me many kindnesses. I owe a great debt to Harris Lenowitz for encouraging this project. He also helped find many obscure materials without which this book could not have been written. Finally, thank you to several anonymous readers and to Ray B. Waddington and Dawn Hall for their editorial efforts, which, no matter how great, can never fully expunge my many faults. ...
