520    In this volume, six historians explore new approaches to 
       Isaac Orobio de Castro (1617-1687), an Amsterdam physician
       who was the most widely-read among the early modern 
       defenders of Judaism against Christian proselytizing. He 
       was also the major author who rebutted Benedict Spinoza's 
       Freethought from inside his own Sephardic community. 
       Reflecting on the developments in early modern studies 
       that have appeared since the publication of Yosef Kaplan's
       seminal monograph in 1982, the authors revisit Orobio's 
       intellectual personality with a focus on transcultural 
       processes, clandestine book culture, philosophical 
       rhetoric, and literary reception. Born in Portugal to 
       Christian parents of Jewish ancestry, Orobio left behind a
       brilliant career as a court physician in Spain and France 
       when he publicly embraced Judaism. With academic erudition,
       he translated Jewish religious positions into the eclectic
       philosophy of the day, using both rationalist and sceptic 
       arguments. His work leaked out into the non-Jewish world 
       and armed Enlightenment philosophers for their attacks on 
       Christianity, showing the impact of Jewish criticism on 
       the early modern quest for philosophical certainty and 
       religious pluralism.
