Predominancia del influjo veterotestamentario sobre la noción del Amor de Dios hacia la Criatura, en León Hebreo

Abstract

The relationship between God and the human creatures is compared, in several passages of the Dialoghi d’amore, to the one between a father and his son. Our aim is to give an account of the connotative approach between the notion of the love given by Yahweh to the chosen people, as it can be find in verses of some books of the Old Testament, and that postulated by Leone Ebreo, in order to prove that notwithstanding the deep knowledge that Leone possessed of the re-interpretations of Platonic love maintained by thinkers of the Florentine Academy, the conception of love as an affective engagement that we find in the Dialoghi could have had hs origen as a re-formulation of the Biblical covenant.
