He always found itessential that students be introduced as early as possible to research work...“The collectedessays in this volume encompass quite a variety of topics, whereby thefocal points in Schäfer’s own research is not difficult to recognize in thethemes chosen by his former students: mysticism and magic are most conspicuous,followed by Rabbinic Judaism and the studies on the Middle Ages, the EarlyModern and the Modern Periods.
