His chief work, `Tagmule ha-Nefesh`, is a review of the philosophical literature, then in vogue, of the Greeks and Arabs, Jews and Christians, where the author makes constant reference to the Bible and to Talmudic works, advancing his own opinion only when these latter are silent on the subject under consideration. 210x135mm. 27+112+XXIII+III pages. Quarter-leather rebound marbled board Hardcover. Cover yellowing. Cover edges worn. Spine edges bumped. Ex-library copy with stamp on front whitepages and title page.
