[Eckart, Ann M.]

Medieval Fair Department Upcoming Events!

THURSDAY February 8th, 2018, 6:15 pm - 7:30 pm, West Norman Public Library, 300 Norman Center Ct., Norman
"Conversion to Judaism in 17th Century Amsterdam: The Tragic Story of Uriel da Costa" presented by Yael Lavender-Smith, Professor, Hebrew Studies, Modern Languages Department, University of Oklahoma.
Uriel da Costa's autobiography is a fascinating example of an early modern conversion narrative to Judaism. But unlike St. Augustine's Confessions, da Costa's narrative describes the author's disbeliefs, doubts, and reservations. This talk examines da Costa's enigmatic-and ultimately tragic-confrontations with himself and with the Jewish community of 17th-century Amsterdam.
