Studies in the Formation of Medieval Hebrew Philosophical Terminology - Officina Philosophica Hebraica Volume I

This volume contains studies based on discussions at the PESHAT in Context conference, "Themes, Terminology, and Translation Procedures in Twelfth-Century Jewish Philosophy." They reveal that Hebrew terminology was never fully standardized over its long formation but was characterized by enormous diversity.
