summary

Perhaps the most prolific, and clearly the most able of the early Haskalah writers. This collection consists of treatises concerned with the sciences, aesthetics, poetry, etc. It is written in a style analogous to Immanuel of Rome’s Machberoth, a work that Satanov was to re-edit with additions of his own in 1796

ff.4,(6),68,(2). Signatures on title (clipped at bottom), lightly stained. Later marble boards. 8vo.
