Dear listmembers,
Brother McMichael's introduction reminded me of asking you whether
anyone knew more about *Jewish* apocalypticism in the middle
ages? (The connection, incidentally, came through Alfonso de Spina's
knowing Abraham bar Hiyya's Sefer Megillat ha-Megalleh).
I have looked through A. H. Silver's *A History of Messianic
Speculation in Israel* and a similar book by Joseph Sarachek, and I
wonder if anyone knew of more recent studies, preferably in languages
other than Hebrew ... I'd be especially interested to know more about
the image of Gog and Magog in medieval Jewish thought.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Cheers, Christoph
