66263X1 First Edition (Unstated. KTAV Publishing House, Hoboken in association with Sephardic House, New York: 1993. 120 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Don Isaac Abravanel, diplomat, financier and biblical exegete, was one of the most widely educated men of his time. His knowledge of Bible and Bible commentary included those of the Christian commentators popular in his time, and he often debates Christian views in his own commentaries, either implicitly or explicitly. In this monograph, Dr. Gaon studies his use of the work of the biblical commentator and polymath, Alfonso Tostado. Abravanel took from Tostado not only the form in which he arranged his commentaries, with each passagepreface by the essential questions which it presented, and which the commentary would seek to answer, but also used his works as a constant reference, though adding copiously from Jewish sources and his own insights. Though Abravanel's use of Tostado has long been known, Dr. Gaon demonstrates the extent of Anravanel's use of Tostado's Work. Includes an Index. ISBN: 088125438X $19.25USD
