Excerpt from The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 1 of 12: A Descriptive Record of the History, Religion, Literature, and Customs of the Jewish People From the Earliest Times to the Present Day; Aach-Apocalyptic Literature

An attempt has been made to fill the hitherto existing gap in literary history in regard to the activity of the arabic-spanish school (1000 - 1500) in the labyrinth of the Talmud, and equal consideration has been bestowed upon the French, German, and Italian Talmudists of the same period, to whom is largely due our knowledge of the Talmud, and through whose initiative the Jewish Spirit was diverted to new lines'of activity and kept alive, when it. Was denied every other mode of asserting itself. Ade quate attention has been given to the Rabbinical literature of the past four centuries, which have been chietl y characterized by the casuistic works of the German and Polish Talmudists, and the critical treatment of the Talmud in recent times finds full expres sion in these pages.

In treating of those Jews whose activities have lain outside of distinctively Jewish Spheres, it has been deemed sufficient to give short sketches of their lives with a simple indication of what their contributions have been to their particular fields of labor. Only occasionally, and for reasons of weight, has a departure been made from this policy. A summary of the contributions thus made to the various sciences will be found under the respective headings.
