Riassunto
Salomon Munk (1803-1867) belonged to a group of German-Jewish scholars who pioneered the systematic study of Arabic, Judeo-Arabic and Islamic philosophy in Western Europe in the nineteenth century, as part of a movement that came to be known as the Science of Judaism. This book is an attempt to restore this extraordinary representative of German Jewry to the pantheon of the Science of Judaism.
