An English Translation of Johann Reuchlin's Defense Against the Cologne Calumniators

"Further investment in the study of Reuchlin's work will add the considerable value of a new and somewhat under-studied view of the formative years of European understanding of the Hebrew language, theosophy, and mysticism. The Christian mutation of Kabbalism as understood in the nineteenth century is a direct consequence of Reuchlin's thought and interpretive writings, and variants of Christianized Kabbalah have been promulgated into the twenty-first century." -Kerry Koitzsch ("Preface")
