Abstract
This thesis examines the Italian-born Jewish convert to Christianity Immanuel Tremellius (c. 1510-1580), his views on the relationship between Judaism and Christianity, and his various contexts. The thesis successively examines Tremellius's various identities as a Jewish-Christian convert, a Hebraist scholar, and a Reformed Christian to account for his philosemitic views. The thesis argues that Tremellius's experience growing up Jewish in Ercolean Ferrara, his spiritualist circle and influence in Italian Catholicism, and his Reformed faith influenced Tremellius to become one of the first philo-semitic Jewish converts to Christianity, one who advocated for Jewish-Christian understanding and who continued to identify as Jewish after conversion and who advocated others to do so as well.
