SHIRE MITSVOT: KOLEL 613 MITSVOT `AL DEREKH HA-SHIR...
(FT) 8vo. 129 pages. In Hebrew. Facsimile edition. Title in English on facing page: Songs of the 613 commandments, by Jonathan Eibeschutz ... A song of life ... By Hayyim ben Zebulun. SUBJECT(S) : Commandments, Six hundred and thirteen. Eybeschuetz (1690 or 95-1764) was one of the foremost Talmud scholars in Prague. He moved there in 1715, and preached and ran a yeshivah. He engaged other religious scholars, both Jewish and not, in endless debates and intellectual contests, and was on friendly terms with the Cardinal. Welllike by the Jews of Prague, Eybeschuetz was a dayyan in that city, and was rabbi first of Metz and then of the Three Communities (Altona, Hamburg and Wandsbek) . His tenure as a leader was not without trouble; the Shabbateans caused him no end of difficulty. Even after appeals to the king and a re-election as rabbi, Eybeschuetz could not quell his attackers, and eventually his yeshivah was closed. Despite all this, he wrote prolifically, and even today his works, with their clear and concise logic, are considered an important part of Talmudic scholarship. (Scholem, EJ) Very good condition.

Many of the commentaries and interpretations of later talmudic scholars and researchers originated in his work. Friedmann maintained that 'the Talmud is the foundation of Judaism and whoever abandons it is abandoning life'; this conviction affected all his creative work and activities. At the height of the Haskalah Friedmann was calling for traditional education, even drawing up plans for traditional Jewish secondary schools and universities.

His first lexicographical work was a "Handwörterbuch" in two volumes, 1810-12; a shorter edition appeared in 1814, which became the standard Hebrew dictionary, not alone for Germany, but also for the English-speaking world-the English editions by Robinson, Tregelles, and the Oxford improved edition by Briggs, Brown, and Driver being the main sources of Hebrew lexicography.

Possibly a native of Béziers, Jedaiah is known to have spent time in Perpignan and Montpellier. Little is known of his personal history. He may have been a physician. Jedaiah's intellectual interests were literary and philosophic, although the two spheres were not clearly separated. In his youth, he composed a poetic prayer of 1,000 words titled " Bakkashat ha-Memim," every word of which begins with the letter mem (in Olelot ha-Bohen, 1808). He is also credited with a similar composition, every word of which begins with alef, but many believe that this latter poem was written by Jedaiah's father. In popular style he composed Ohev Nashim ('In Defense of Women,' ed. by A. Neubauer in Jubelschrift
L. Zunz (1884), pt. 1, 13840; pt. 2, 119). His best-known literary work is Sefer Behinat Olam ('The Book of the Examination of the World'), a lyrical, ethical monograph on the theme of the futility and vanity of this world, and the inestimably greater benefits of intellectual and religious pursuits. Behinat Olam, written in florid prose and rich in imagery, combines philosophic doctrine and religious fervor with a good measure of asceticism and pessimism" (Ruth Glasner in EJ, 2007).

Jolles (c. 1778-1825) was a Galician talmudic scholar and kabbalist. Born in Przemysl, he served as rabbi in Glogow and Dinow. He leaned toward Hasidism, and was among the disciples of Jacob Isaac ha-Hozeh of Lublin. His most famous work was Melo ha-Ro'im (Zolkiew, 1838) , an encyclopedic work on the rules and principles of rabbinic law which made a great impression and was reprinted several times. His other published works are Hinnukh Beit Yehudah, a homiletic work in philosophic style; Kehillat Ya'akov, an encyclopedic treatment of kabbalistic topics; Emet le-Ya'akov, a homiletic work in hasidic style; Beit Va'ad le-Hakhamim, a directory of talmudic sages; Parashat Derakhim Zuta, homiletic discourses; Zikhron Ya'akov vi-Yhudah also consisting of homiletic discourses; and Yashresh Ya'akov, on Kabbalah. His notes and novellae on the Talmud are printed in the Vilna edition. Jolles composed many other books (27 are referred to in his foreword to Melo ha-Ro'im) , but most of them have disappeared.
