"A full-length critical biography of Leon da Modenas (1571- 1648) has long been a desideratum, and the present writer sought to fill that need by undertaking the project. It soon become obvious, however, that the crucial problem that had to be solved before (...) was that of Leon da Modena's relationship to the heretical, anti-rabbinical currents of his day, and especially of his relationship to the vitriolic, anti-rabbbinical tractate, the 'Kol Sakhal'. " [from the preface]
