Listen to the recording of our special double session starting with Dr. Cedric Cohen-Skalli and Prof. Jonathan Decter discussing Cedric's new book 'Don Isaac Abravanel: An Intellectual Biography' and then go behind-the-scenes to look at the book translation and publishing process with Cedric and Sylvia Fuks Fried, executive director of the Tauber Institute and editorial director of Brandeis University Press. 

• The need for a new book on Abravanel that focuses on his intellectual thought
• The role of Abravanel as a formative Jewish thinker and philosopher of Jewish modernity
• What the process of translating a full manuscript for an academic university press is like
• What changes and adaptations need to be made before, during or after translation for a new target audience
