Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by the Hebrew University Magnes Press.
The Parable of the Three Rings and the Idea of Religious Toleration in Premodern European Culture By Iris Shagrir<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Iris+Shagrir.aspx?name=Iris+Shagrir> [http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5102] This study of the Parable of the Three Rings is the first full account in Hebrew of the history and the literary and allegorical origins of the parable, as well as of its reception from the early Middle Ages to the Early Modern period. The study provides evidence for the non-Western origins of the parable, which is known mostly through its Western European renderings in Lessing's Nathan the Wise and Boccaccio's Decameron. In some of its versions, the parable contains the idea of religious relativism. This idea was sometimes accommodated, in its particular cultural and religious surroundings, but sometimes negated and altered to suit the preferences of the other narrators and audiences. Whether the original, relativist, possibly tolerant, message was upheld or not – makes the history of the parable more intriguing to modern readers. A Hebrew translation of Avishai Margalit's “The Ring: On Religious Pluralism” provides a logical-philosophical perspective on the idea of religious pluralism.
