| Publisher Description: Rabbi Loew is known as the creator of the golem, an artificial man endowed with superhuman powers. Sherwin here analyzes the legend and its influence on modern literature and ethics, and provides the first critical biography and bibliography of the mystical Rabbi whose life and works have in the past been eclipsed by the legend. |
