But In This Book, The Real Casaubon Emerges As A Genuine Literary Hero, An Intrepid Explorer In The World Of Books. With A Flair For Storytelling Reminiscent Of Umberto Eco, Grafton And Weinberg Follow Casaubon As He Unearths The Lost Continent Of Hebrew Learningand Adds This Ancient Lore To The Wellknown Renaissance Revival Of Latin And Greek.The Mystery Begins With Mark Pattisons Nineteenthcentury Biography Of Casaubon. Here We Encounter The Protestant Casaubon Embroiled In Intellectual Quarrels With The Italian And Catholic Orator Cesare Baronio. Setting Out To Understand The Nature Of This Imbroglio, Grafton And Weinberg Discover Casaubons Knowledge Of Hebrew. Close Reading And Sedulous Inquiry Were Casaubons Tools In Recapturing The Lost Learning Of The Ancientsand These Are The Tools That Serve Grafton And Weinberg As They Pore Through Pre1600 Books In Hebrew, And Through Casaubons Own Manuscript Notebooks. Their Search Takes Them From Oxford To Cambridge, From Dublin To Cambridge, Massachusetts, As They Reveal How The Scholar Discovered The Learning Of The Hebrewsand At What Cost.
