Excerpt from Jewish History and Literature: A Course of Lessons From the Rise of the Kabbala to the Expulsion of the Jews by Spain
In doing work demanded under the 'tests and Reviews' do it conscientiously. Be careful that whatever you write be good in diction and style Clear diction goes hand in hand with clear thinking.
This course begins with the rise of the Kabbala in the thirteenth century and closes with the Spanish Expulsion in 1492. It is a fitful period and, for the Jews, one more of shadow than of light. It covers, probably, the darkest of their dark ages; a story not of one but of many expulsions. It depicts monkish fanaticism at its worst.
