Goldenthal, J[acob]. Grammaire Arabe écrite en Hébreu, a l'usage des Hebreux de l'Orient / Sepher Maspik li-Yedi'ath Dikduk Leshon Aravi [“Arabic Grammar Written in Hebrew, for Use by the Jews of the Orient”]

Goldenthal was a man of outstanding erudition. He is noted on the title-page as: Doctor of Philosophy; Professor of Oriental Languages at the University of Vienna; government interpreter; member of the Academy of Sciences of Vienna; and member of the Asiatic Societies of Germany, of Paris and of London. In his Hebrew preface, Goldenthal notes that knowledge of Arabic is particularly important for Talmudists, illustrating his point by a passage from Rabbenu Nissim's commentary to Tractate Shabbat found in a manuscript in the Palatine Library of Vienna
