(1633). BOOK: (MEDICINE). YEUDA LEVITE, R.: CUZARY. BOOK OF GREAT SCIENCE AND MUCH DOCTRINE. SPEECHES THAT PASSED BETWEEN KING CUZAR AND A SINGULAR YSRAELI SAGE NAMED R. YSHACH SANGUERY. Trad. R. Jaacob Ebendana. Amsterdam: s. imp., 5423 (1633 AD). 4th minor. 4 h. + 306 p. Some old underlining. Enc. on vintage parchment. The original Hebrew text of this work was never printed, the first impression of this text is the Latin translation. Written in the form of a platonic dialogue, between the king and the wise Yshach Sangueri; the king had converted to Judaism and the wise Muslim challenged him. The work soon became a classic of Jewish apologetics and a paradigm of impartiality when it presents the Christian and Muslim faith, an example of Spanish medieval religious tolerance. We present here the FIRST TRANSLATION into Spanish from Hebrew. Very rare edition, circumstance already commented by Palau 66664. Brunet II, 319.
