This volume deals with conversions to Judaism from the 16th to the 18th century. It provides six case studies by leading international scholars on phenomena as crypto-Judaism, "judaizing", reversion of Jewish-Christian converts and secret conversion of non-Jewish Christians for intellectual reasons. The first contributions examine George Buchanan and John Dury, followed by three studies of the milieu of late seventeenth-century Amsterdam. The last essay is concerned with Lord George Gordon and Cabbalistic Freemasonry. The contributions will be of interest for intellectual historians, but also historians of political thought or Jewish studies. Contributors include: Elisheva Carlebach, Allison P. Coudert, Martin Mulsow, Richard H. Popkin, Marsha Keith Schuchard, and Arthur Williamson.

Difficile à lire, connu de réputation pour ses objections aux Méditations de Descartes, sa réhabilitation d’Épicure et des atomes, voire le caractère ambigu de ses relations avec les “libertins”, Pierre Gassendi est un personnage un peu flou dans notre galerie de portraits imaginaire. Il fut cependant un auteur important, lu, connu, approuvé ou critiqué dans toute l’Europe, surtout par les savants qui voulaient fonder efficacement leur physique moderne sans renier pour autant les acquis des anciens. Les études réunies ici ont cherché comme la trace et le reflet de l’œuvre de Gassendi dans les écrits d’autres auteurs qui ont vécu de son temps et jusqu’à la fin des Lumières – non seulement en France –, mais aussi en Angleterre (comme Walter Charleton, John Locke, David Hume ou Robert Boyle), en Hollande (professeurs d’Université), en Allemagne (Leibniz), en Pologne (Sociniens et “libertins”), en Italie du Nord (comme le jésuite milanais Thommaso Ceva), en Italie du Sud (comme le fondateur de l’Accademia degli Investiganti Tommaso Cornelio ou Giambattista Vico), en Espagne enfin (comme le médecin Martínez). Aujourd’hui encore Gassendi fait des adeptes parmi ceux que séduisent les chemins non battus de l’effort gratuit et de l’érudition austère, ceux que ravit absolument une certaine esthétique baroque de l’esprit pur.
