HaBachur—Berlin, 1767.
A book of grammar by Eliyahu HaLevi Ashkenazi, printed by Itzik Speyer. Rav Ashkenazi (1472-1549), known as “Rabbi Eliyahu Bachur” as a result of this book, was a rabbi, grammarian, famous researcher of mesorah, and a sage of Italy. Authored important books of grammar. Taught Christians Hebrew. One of his students, who later became the French ambassador in Venice, invited him in the name of King Francis I, to lecture in Hebrew at a college in Paris. He rejected the offer for two reasons: He did not want to be the only Jew allowed to live in France, and did not feel that under such conditions he could keep all of the mitzvot. After he lost all of his property he returned to Venice, and worked to earn a living as a proofreader at the publishing house of Daniel Bomberg. | Thick, quality pages, moth holes. | [2], 39, [1] pages. 20cm. Generally good condition.
