Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. In Hebrew, vowelized. 136 pages. 18 x 11 cm. A small treatise on ethics and morality with explanatory woodcut illustrations. including a portrait of the author, Rabbi Yehuda Aryeh of Modena (April 23, 1571 Venice - March 21, 1648 Venice) who was a rabbi, preacher, writer, poet and proofreader. His parents came from the city of Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. He was a child prodigy. At age two and a half he recited the haftara in the local synagogue. At age 3 he could translate passages from the Torah into Italian. He developed an interest in Italian literature, music, acting and dancing. At the age of nineteen he married his cousin, Rachel. Most of his life was spent in great suffering: he was addicted to gambling and lost all his money, of his three sons one died, the second was murdered, and the third went to Brazil and returned only after his father's death. His wife Rachel fell ill with a serious mental illness. He was a student of Rabbi Shmuel Yehuda Katznelbogen and of Rabbi Shmuel ben Elhanan Ya'akov Arcivolti. At age 23 he was appointed a dayan and preacher in Venice and also served as the head of the General Yeshiva of Venice. He was known as an excellent preacher. Gentiles also attended his sermons. He was engaged in teaching for many years, and among his many students there were also Christians. One of his prominent students was Rabbi Shaul Levi Mortera, later the rabbi of the community and rabbi in Amsterdam. Besides Modena's occupations in the fields of Judaism, he also engaged in liberal professions, and was the director of a theater and music academy in the ghetto of Venice. At age 13 he wrote an amusing anti-gambling essay entitled Sur Mera ("avoid evil" a phrase in pirkey avot), which presents a dialogue in Halacha, thought, literature and gossip between two friends - Eldad and Midad: one often gambles, while the other tries to dissuade him from doing so. In this composition, de Modena's playful writing is revealed, which will accompany him throughout his writing. He often engaged in polemics with Christians. Codice articolo 017107
