Monday's topic is Rabbis and Renaissance Men, in which we (a) look at ongoing forms of Jewish learning, and (b) consider Petrarch as our exemplar of Renaissance letters.
Please do the following:
(1) Download, print, and read the overview of Jewish Learning.
(2) Download, print, and read the excerpts from the Talmud, on the duty to marry and raise a family.
(3) Download, print, and read the excerpts from the Zohar, commenting on Genesis 5:1-2.
(4) Download, print, and read the factsheet on Petrarch, the so-called "father of Humanism."
(5) Download, print, and read the two Letters from Petrarch, in which he talks about his peregrinations through Rome and addresses "my Cicero."
