    Annotation Helm (history of medicine, U. Halle-Wittenberg, Germany) and Winkelmann (Leopold Zunz Center for the Study of European Judaism, Germany), suggesting that the relationship between religion and science was not one of implacable hostility, present 12 articles seeking to understand the ways in which Christian and Judaic religious beliefs influenced the practice of science, and vice-versa. Among the topics discussed are the conflict that Jesuit scientists faced between scientific discovery and religious dogma, the influence of Protestant thinking on the foundations of anatomy, the transmission of Jewish and Arab scientific philosophies to Europe by way of the Iberian Jews, and attempts by Jewish scholars to harmonize undeniable scientific discoveries with Judaic teachings.

    Annotation The present volume re-evaluates the role that religious confession played in the development and understanding of the sciences and medicine in the sixteenth century.
    It presents the results of an international, interdisciplinary conference held in Wittenberg in December 1998. Scholars from Israel, Italy, Great Britain and Germany discussed the ways in which religious conviction and the development of the natural sciences and medicine influenced each other in the sixteenth century. Contrary to the still widespread view that relations between religion and the sciences at the dawn of the 'scientific revolution' were ridden with bitter conflict, the studies here present a more differentiated picture. They indicate that scientists in the sixteenth century were pious and religiously observant, well-aware of their respective sacred tradition. No matter whether Jewish, Roman Catholic or Protestant, they found their specific ways and means to pursue studies on nature and in the medical sciences
