SEFER NITZACHON. AMSTERDAM 1709. - SEFER NITZACHON. MINIATURE EDITION. AMSTERDAM 1709. Anti-Christian polemic by R. Yom Tov Lipmann Muelhausen. Includes Teshuvos HaRDaK L’Notzrim, by R. Dovid Kimchi (RaDaK) and an addendum “regarding the Meshumad Peter”. A defense of Judaism and an attack upon Christianity and Karaism. The intent of Sefer Nitzachon was to serve as a manual to laymen as how to respond if confronted by Christians seeking to prove the veracity of their religion over Judaism. Following the Biblical order, R. Muelhausen refutes the Christian interpretations of the Bible and the doctrines derived from them, and in so doing, provides many exegetic insights. His method is to expose the Christian lack of understanding of Hebrew sources with their linguistic and contextual associations. Proops press. 110 pages. 12.3 cm! Overall fine condition, some page slightly trimmed not affecting text. Modern leather binding.
