SHALOM, AVRAHAM. Neve Shalom [philosophy]. Second edition. 18th-century Italian inscription on final blank. ff. (4), 213, (15). Light wear, dampwrinkled. Recent boards. Sm. 4to. Vinograd, Venice 607. Venice, Giovanni di Gara, 1575. A series of homilies on various Aggadic passages from the Talmud, interwoven with a philosophical discussion meant to serve as a defense of Maimonides’ reconciliation of Greek philosophy and Jewish thought. The author clearly had a thorough command of the secular fields of knowledge of his time, as this work is rich in quotations from Greek and Arabic philosophical literature.
