Based on the Sepher Ha’Aruch and including the additions of Benjamin Mussafia, this 5-volume work by Landau contains valuable observations and numerous treatises of a philosophical, historical, archeological, and geographical character. Moses Israel Landau (1788-1852) grandson of Ezekiel Landau, established a Hebrew and Oriental printing-press in Prague, which became important in the annals of Hebrew typography. Resident of Prague throughout his life, he was elected superintendent of the Jewish school in Prague in 1819 and later appointed as one of the board of directors of the Jewish community. He was elected alderman (“Stadtverordneter”) in 1849, and a member of the city council (“Stadtrath”) in 1850.
