summary

In the introduction to Chazon LaMo'ed, the author takes up the perennial question of authorship, and whether Daniel is to be considered a full-fledged prophet or merely a divinely-inspired dreamer. Likewise, in the Introduction to Yad HaMelech, Valerio makes a case for the prophetic ability of Mordechai based upon the criteria of Maimonides' Guide. See JE, Vol. XII, p. 397
