Samuel David Luzzatto or SHaDaL (1800-1865), one of the last outstanding representatives of the Italian rabbinic tradition, combined deep faith (even going so far as to critique Maimonides for being overly influenced by Greek thought) with modern scholarship. His commentaries to the Bible have remained popular to this day. This catalogue, edited by his son Isaiah, includes both a bibliography (interspersed with laconic autobiographical notes) penned by SHaDaL himself, as well as an update of the works published posthumously by the author’s sons
