<b>SFORNO, OVADIAH.<br />Ohr Amim. [“Light of the Nations” - philosophy].</b> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span>FIRST EDITION. Initial word within decorative frame. Wide-margined copy.</span> <br />ff. 64. Opening and closing leaf laid to size, last page stained, f. 63 with few words lacking supplied in facsimile. Modern calf. Sm. 4to. Vinograd, Bologna 8. <br />Bologna: The Company of Silk Weavers 1537 <br /> <br /> <br />Ovadiah Sforno of Bologna (known in Latin as Salvadeus, ca. 1470-ca. 1550) was a physician by profession. Primarily known for his commentaries to the Torah and other parts of the Bible, Sforno wrote the present volume to refute the views of Aristotle which he held to be in contradiction with many of the fundamental principles of Judaism. Sforno quotes abundantly from Muslim philosophers Ibn Rushd (Averroes) and al-Ghazali. A Latin translation of this work appeared under the title Lumen Gentium (Bologna, 1548). See R. Bonfil, Eshel, Be’er Sheva, Vol. I, pp. 208-211; EJ, Vol. XIV, cols. 1209-10. The first of only nine books printed by the Jewish Silk Weaver’s Guild of Bologna. See D. Amram, The Makers of Hebrew Books in Italy, pp. 232-35.

<br />
<br />Ovadiah Sforno of Bologna (known in Latin as Salvadeus, ca. 1470-ca. 1550) was a physician by profession. Primarily known for his commentaries to the Torah and other parts of the Bible, Sforno wrote the present volume to refute the views of Aristotle which he held to be in contradiction with many of the fundamental principles of Judaism. Sforno quotes abundantly from Muslim philosophers Ibn Rushd (Averroes) and al-Ghazali. A Latin translation of this work appeared under the title Lumen Gentium (Bologna, 1548). See R. Bonfil, Eshel, Be’er Sheva, Vol. I, pp. 208-211; EJ, Vol. XIV, cols. 1209-10. The first of only nine books printed by the Jewish Silk Weaver’s Guild of Bologna. See D. Amram, The Makers of Hebrew Books in Italy, pp. 232-35.](/img/aHR0cHM6Ly9iaWRzcGlyaXQtaW1hZ2VzLmdsb2JhbC5zc2wuZmFzdGx5Lm5ldC9rZXN0ZW5iYXVtL2Nsb25lZC1pbWFnZXMvMTE4MjMxLzAwMy8wMDMuanBn.sYm4ux8yXfNHPmhb7XKnQg)

![Letter of Rebuke from the Gaon Rabbi Yedidyah HaLevi, Av Beit Din of Sienna, to the Vercelli Community
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Especially rare: Letter containing sharp rebuke from the gaon Rabbi Yedidyah HaLevi Segal, av beit din of Sienna, to the members of the Vercelli community, where he was previously rabbi, regarding their not listening to da'at Torah and rebellion against the city rabbis. Sienna, 1781.
</div>
<div>
The topic of the letter is the controversy that developed in the community about the time for Kabbalat Shabbat. (Note that it may be necessary to add the letter ו' in the word ושמר' in the year detail, which would result in the year 1787).
</div>
<div>
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the gaon Rabbi Yedidyah HaLevi Segal.
