Universe of Shabbettai Donnolo / Andrew Sharf

The book 'Universe of Shabbettai Donnolo' by Andrew Sharf delves into the life and works of Shabbettai Donnolo, one of the earliest known Jewish physicians and astrologers in medieval Europe. The text provides an analysis of Donnolo's contributions to medicine and astrology, framed within the context of his Jewish heritage and the broader Byzantine culture. Sharf's study not only highlights Donnolo's significant role in the history of science but also sheds light on the cultural and intellectual exchanges between Jews and their surrounding societies during the medieval period.
