Leshon Limudim was the Ramchal’s first appearance in print, composed when he was just twenty years old. The work is dedicated to his mentor, R. Isaiah Bassani and includes a poem in honor of the author by R. David Finzi, who would eventually become Luzzatto’s father-in-law. This is the first part of three to this work. Parts two and three of Leshon Limudim were published from manuscript by A.M. Haberman more than two centuries later in Jerusalem in 1945.
