"In discoursing on music, three early modern Jewish scholars stand out for their originality.
The first is Judah Moscato, who, as chief rabbi in Mantua, preached sermons, one of
them on music: there Moscato presents music as a cosmic and spiritual phenomenon.
The second scholar is Leon Modena, the foremost Jewish intellectual in early seventeenth-century
Venice. Modena deals with music in two responsa to questions put to him for rabbinical
adjudication, one of them an examination of biblical and rabbinical sources on the
legitimacy of performing art music in the synagogue. Abraham Portaleone, the third
scholar, treated music in a massive disquisition on the ancient temple and its ritual,
describing it as an art correlating with contemporary Italian music. The introduction
surveys the development of Hebrew art music from the Bible through the Talmud and
rabbinical writings until the early modern era. The epilogue defines the special contribution
of Hebrew scholars to early modern theory"--Provided by publisher
