Hebrew title within elaborate architectural arch and columns. ff. (2), 3-53. Very rare. The Jewish National U. Library copy incomplete. Amsterdam, David de Castro Tartas for Joseph ben Israel: 1648.Saadiah Gaon's purpose is two-fold: to demonstrate that the principles of Judaism are compatible with reason and to interpret these principles in a manner that their rationality be evident. The book is divided into ten sections each of which is subdivided into chapters. The first nine sections philosophically establish the ten fundamental principles of faith and the tenth is devoted to ethics. Printed in double columns in Rashi script. With the expulsion from Spain in 1492, Jews were given to much eschatological speculation. In Ma'ayenei ha-Yeshua, Don Isaac Abrabanel. who had served as chief financial counselor th the King of Portugal and later to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, set out to explore the Jewish conception of the future Redemption. The book, the first part of a messianic trilogy, was completed in Italy in 1497. See B. Netanyahu, Don Isaac Abravanel: Statesman and Philosopher (1968), pp. 77-78. BOUND WITH: 2.

Title page in Latin is missing (as is the case with the Rosenthal Library copy listed by Roest). A momentous work of Abarbanel written in connection to the events of his day, the expulsion from Spain and Portugal. Abarbanel enters into the depths of the prophecies of Daniel with regard to the anticipated deliverance of the Jewish people. It starts with an introduction describing the tribulations of the Jews in Spain and elsewhere. He also writes of his personal life. Isaac Abrabanel devoted many of his works in examination of the Redemption. Here, he attempts to interpret the eschatological chapters of the Book of Daniel.
