On the author Source: Public Domain:<br /> Isaac ben Judah or Yitzchak ben Yehuda Abravanel 1437 - 1508 was a Jewish statesman philosopher Bible commentator and financier. In many works he is referred to solely by his last name which is variously spelled as Abravanel Abarbanel and Abrabanel. Many Torah and Talmud scholars today simply refer to him as "The Abarbanel". He was born in Lisbon Portugal. He died in Venice and was buried in Padua next to Rabbi Judah Minz Rabbi of Padua. Isaac Abravanel developed many works during his lifetime which are often categorized into three groups: exegesis philosophy and apologetics. Exegesis refers to biblical commentary his philosophy dealt with the sciences and how the general field relates to the Jewish religion and traditions and apologetics defends the Jewish idea of the coming of the Messiah. Abravanel’s exegetic writings were different from the usual biblical commentaries because he took social and political issues of the times into consideration. He believed that mere commentary was not enough but that the actual lives of the Jewish people must be deliberated on as well when discussing such an important topic as the Bible. He also took the time to include an introduction concerning the character of each book he commented on as well as its date of composition and the intention of the original author in order to make the works more accessible to the average reader. Christian scholars appreciated the convenience of Abravanel's commentaries and often used them when preparing their own exegetical writing. This may have had something to do with Abravanel’s openness towards the Christian religion since he worked closely with Messianic ideas found within Judaism. Because of this Abravanel’s works were translated and distributed within the world of Christian scholarship.<br /> Ozar Hasefer p164 item #65. NP hardcover

Table of contents for the first volume. The first and second volumes consist of classic grammar rules in Arabic. De Sacy was a French nobleman linguist and orientalist. In 1781 he was appointed councilor in the cour des monnaies and was promoted in 1791 to be a commissary-general in the same department. Having successively studied Semitic languages he began to make a name as an orientalist and between 1787 and 1791 deciphered the Pahlavi inscriptions of the Sassanid kings. In 1792 he retired from public service and lived in close seclusion in a cottage near Paris till in 1795 he became the first and only professor of Arabic in the newly founded school of living Eastern languages École speciale des langues orientales vivantes. During this interval Sacy studied the religion of the Druze the subject of his last and unfinished work the Exposé de la religion des Druzes 2 vols. 1838. He published the following Arabic textbooks: Grammaire arabe 2 vols. 1st ed. 1810 Chrestomathie arabe 3 vols. 1806 Anthologie grammaticale 1829. In 1806 he added the duties of a Persian professor to his old chair and from this time onwards his life was one of increasing honor and success broken only by a brief period of retreat during the Hundred Days. He was perpetual secretary of the Academy of Inscriptions from 1832 onwards; in 1808 he had entered the corps législatif; he was created a baron of the French Empire by Napoleon in 1813; and in 1832 when quite an old man he became a peer of France and regularly spoke in the Chamber of Peers Chambre des Pairs. In 1815 he became rector of the University of Paris and after the Second Restoration he was active on the commission of public instruction. With Abel Rémusat he was joint founder of the Société asiatique and was inspector of oriental typefaces at the Imprimerie nationale. In 1821 he was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society. Edward Said and other modern scholars have given critical attention to the theoretical foundations of "orientalism" in works like 'Chrestomathie' and 'Grammaire arabe'. Wikipedia.
