Classics. HaKuzari. First Edition with the Kol Yehuda Commentary. Venice 1594.
Classic philosophical work by R. Yehuda ben Shmuel HaLevi, with the first edition of the Kol Yehuda commentary by R. Yehuda Moscato.
The Kuzari is one of the most famous works of R. Yehuda HaLevi, the medieval Spanish Jewish scholar and poet, completed around 1140. Originally written in Arabic, it was then translated into Hebrew and is one the most fundamental and important works of Jewish philosophy.
R. Yehuda Moscato (1535-1590), served as Rov of Mantua and was one of the most influential rabbinical figures in Italy. His comprehensive commentary on the Kuzari (published posthumously) was received to great acclaim and has since been printed in almost every edition of the Kuzari.
Stefansky Hebrew Classics 495. Vinograd Venice 794. Di Gora press. 299 pages. 21 cm. Lacking one blank (58). Overall good condition. Some worming at times affecting text. Modern elegant leather binding.
